Best way to get into drift?

[Edd]

Hey guys,

I'm interested in getting into drift racing, my question is should I go electric brushless lipo or nitro? I have seen the kyosho electric range that looks good and the nitro hpi rs4 but I'm not sure whether I should go nitro or electric? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

electric is probably best for drifting, quicker power delivery

shaft drive is good too

yup i agree. the hpi sprit2 drift is a good one. thats what i have it works great but i got yok tires and rims thinks they work better then stock that come with. the tt0-1 is what alot of people say to start with check out groovy drift its a good site. or if money no object go with yokamo they are comp drift cars but are kits and cost about 200 with no radio esc motor. hope it helps

i used an old electric shumacher sst when i started out but electric is definatly better to start with and its torque wrather than rpm you want for drifting i'd strat with something cheap as you will most likely crash alot.but electric definatly

electrical tape on tyres, 27 turn, lock the diffs and your away..

Easy as that

The Ta05 seems to be a very popular car for drifting due to teh weight distribution with the motor being in the middle.

The best drifter is the ta05 conversion by tech racing made soley to drift.

HI Guys,

Ive just started drifting at basically its the most fun and most skilled pieces of driving ive ever done.

My car is a standard TT01 except for a alloy propshaft because i run a tamiya 11t modified brushed motor in it.
The best drift tires are the premounted hpi t-drift tyres on silver multi-spoke rims and that's all you really need. You may want to lock your rear diff if you want instant rear end grip loss.

Cheers Guys
