Tamiya drift car
 

Built this up for my little brother, Just a TL01 with Hpi S2000 body and esc and 19t motor.

Got the drift rims off eBay, had a quick go to test it and that drifting game is well addictive!

That looks really smart!

If you like that, then try CS drifting, its even better..

Cheers :thumbsup:

Whats CS drift (counter steer)??

Counter steer is where the rear axle gets overdriven, makes the tail hang out much more in the drifts. NOt sure how easy that would be to acheive with a TL01 though.

If you haven't seen them before, watch the Drift44 videos on Youtube. Inspirational, and done with a CS car.

Nice clean job on the car. I especially like the pink wheels and white paint combo.

Yes just looked up the drift 44 vids, very clever stuff!

I see what you mean about CS cars now, you run the overdrive diff gear in the rear and a spool/oneway in the front.

Seen the HPI drift cars and Yokomo versions, very nice stuff.

It would be impossible to do on a TL01 but this will be a bit of fun for my little bro to start with.

Mad skills:

Yeah drifting is great fun.. I had a Yokomo drift spec rtr package. And It was great fun, I can honestly say it really helped me to learn about correcting and so on. Many years ago.. Great fun-cheap running costs.. can do it anywhere-Near enough and you dont need some massive track or space. Great fun though.. I miss doing it!
