Shaun1982 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Just wondered if any of you guys on here are into rc drifting? Thought maybe people could post pics, details etc of their cars & set ups in here if so? :drive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky370z Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Got a traxass revo 3.3. But it's hard to keep tuned. I think a lipo car is on the cards next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 I've just got a HPI E10 with hopped up centre shaft & metal ball bearings. It's my first car & to be fair we have nowhere other than a car park to go drift in. Mine came with an R32 shell which has had a bit of a beating, bought 2 new shells for it & haven't actually drifted either yet lol. Think i like doing the shells more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dErZ Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I've got a yokomo m4rtc which I've spunked far too much money on! Loads of hop up parts from the Far East. Currently it has a 2.01 CS ratio. I'll put some pix up Lata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightRacer Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I have an old Tamiya TL01 chassis from about 10 years ago that I rebuild to drift spec a few years back. Bought every hop up going and a big motor made it a lot of fun. Put an AE86 shell on it and everything! Started out with ABS plastic pipe tyres but upgraded to proper drift tyres since..... I don't use it much but I do dig it out every now and then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chubby Ninja Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 i never even knew rc drifting existed but after reading this thread im pretty interested. ive got an old tamiya 1/10 peugeot 306 rally car but unfortunately its FWD. what sort of car would i need to start this? does it need to be a special type or just rwd with special tyres?

kyte350 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Put rc drift into you tube and it will bring up lots of vids and then you get hooked as I have rc buggy's and after watching vids got hooked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyte350 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) 4 wheel drive car and just lock / fix rear diff then throw on a set of drift tyres and your off, but once you get the bug its all all about camber/ toe/ suspension and the list goes on but you can go touring car like mavric strada or my Schumacher and you have all the adustments you can ever need hope this helps and join a forum as plenty of UK ones like msuk Edited March 24, 2013 by kyte350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Some cool shells in there guys :: You can get a fair few of eBay 2nd hand. That's where mine came from, plenty good enough for some car park drifting with some mates Some of the MST chassis get veerrrrry expensive, all depends on what you use it for though I guess. Here's a couple of my shells,neither drifted yet lol HPI S15 Undecided on keeping the spoiler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chubby Ninja Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Thanks guys im gona look into this. I spend far too much money on big boys toys as it is and now youve gone and introduced me to this! Seen someone drifting a yellow 350z on youtube and its unbelievable control. Ps sean i think it looks better without the spoiler. It looks minted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 I know which bunch of videos you mean. Absolutely mental with that car! I've not even mounted the S15 with its stealth mounts,it was only sat on in the photos, pain in the arse with not much adjustment. Can't figure how I can even fit them to another shell either, different shells are different heights at the posts & now they're chopped down to accommodate the S15 that's it I think lol. Ill try grab a quick zed shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 There was a video posted about a year ago which I was highly impressed with. I remember back in the good old days, I had a Hornet and a Grasshoper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 I had a rwd buggy when I was little. Had turbo boost when you pushed the stick right up. Was ace until I wiped it out into my nannas patio door at warp speed, caught the off switch on the remote so it kept going lol Couple quick pics I just took of mind again. S15 with its light buckets And my homage to my first zed, never did find the right Rota GTR type wheels in black for it so its just sat on the chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chubby Ninja Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Both cars look awesome. I so want that s15 in real life. It looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun1982 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 That video is ace! How on earth did they get the interior to move like its real? Amazed at that :: I was eyeing up a couple of shells yesterday, a c35 laurel & Max Orido's GT86. Worked out to be just shy of £70 for each of them delivered from either Tonisport or Race And Drift Japan, then you need to add paint as well at about £8 or more, probably new wheels, then an led kit for the lights if you buy buckets too. I wouldn't dare drift it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
