Yeah!! but need some normal tyres to train on also, since comps always use Yoke..

wah sai.. got mazda 6 shell some more

Okay okay, I'll explain to you thoroughly and maybe put in the front page also so that newbies can use as a guide.

What you need to get started with RC drifting. [TAMIYA]

j) Bodyshell of your choice

2. Ready made

a) costs RM650, the rest as per above.

Remember that you can always get second hand stuff, including the car itself but the prices above are based on NEW and BASIC ones, available at Tamiya Underground, 1 Utama.

Forgot to mention, ABS a type of pipe that can be cut to fit the RC car's rims, and it has zero traction thus allowing a good drift. FYI, only my car is new, the rest of my stuff is second hand and I got my whole package now for sub RM1000 if it wasn't for the extra accessories I bought.

which one? got two there. but yeah they're both ss19 kakis la

oh yeah, forgot the rims, but then I just use ciplak rims, for makeshift purposes.

guys, I've been told that this sat is gonna be packed la. I think we should postpone to next week. and this thursday I'll be at TU shopping again, if you wanna try out some then come lor

exactly, when a Playstation 2 also costs almost the same price why do ppl call that cheap and this expensive?? it's not so much about the passion anymore, this is more about mentality. one man's bouquet of roses is another man's pile of shit, if you know what I mean.

infact, I also dont see the point of a couple of small battery powered cars going around in a fixed track? maybe you can enlighten me on why it's wise to spend half of what others spend on bigger sized cars that they can actually control, on mini 4wd, then the guys out there who say RC is for rich folks will understand what I mean

ah, khole's car you not drifting ar?

Aiyo.. mini-Z so small can drift ar funny thing is the car is mini but the price isn't mini at all!

I questioned that myself, but my theory is the lighter it is the more torgue you have to have. So since the 1/10 cars are very light, there's not enough weight just from gravity (add weights if you like, it still wont work!) and momentum to make for the front wheel to grip the surface.. in a way it is weight shifting la, but if I can recall if you have a fast motor, heavy front and softer tyres up front you can drift 2 wheel also.. I think..

but to avoid the rocket science, we just use all drift tyres, 4 wheel drive it and kao kao slide

chris, about the Mini-Z drifting, same thing as my opinion, I doubt there's enough weight..

I'm not an expert on QD cars but I believe you can't change the internal parts like the motor and ESC, including servo, but the tyres can be changed. anyways, you can try to open up the shell to see if the internal parts are removable or not what.. but thats not the important thing, QD cars rear wheel driven right?

Nolar, I don't mean that small mar, I sqw the Mini-Z before, aout the size of my hand only but the price same as TT01 other Kyosho stuff can get also?

won't rosak la, dont worry yep thats the one, I was there when they were taking in the new Kyosho stocks, I saw lots of boats la, makes me wanna play boat liao.. drift

well if the shoe fits! this thread says RC Drifters what, doesn't say RC Car Drifters how much does one go for?

Yup we were there, not to say slow la, but today the local DK was using pipes, normally he will use Yokes I believe

dunno, I think this week's plan cancelled, because too many tourers. anyways, I don't think anyone except for sonic is gonna borrow you their cars

just change the shell on your XB la, cannot meh? celica is rally car la, road version pula FF no relation

yalo, but for somebody to borrow you their car, you must show them you can drift, and to do that you need somebody to borrow you their car, but you must show them you can drift, but to do that you need somebody to borrow you their car..........

AND THE LIST GOES ON!

why not?

then change to touring tyres for the front lar, and hope that it will replicate the weight shifting effect when you go fast fast into a corner
