Nothing on your chassis should be scraping, you lowered the body not the chassis. Oh, my bad, you're still on stock springs. You'll need some hard springs to jack up that belly.

Nahh, no donuts man..ever. I can still keep the drift nice, even at full throttle :-o drifting gen1's was my game, and 1/10, but this evo is lots of fun... next up is a ma-010 once I get a job.

I'll make a video once I get around to it, but I think I need a new set of wheels now, which sucks big-time, because I'm out of cash. :lol:

MAXXA - Expect a video soon man, I'm almost getting figure 8's down with this thing now.

Drifting this evo seems allot harder than drifting my gen1, then again, I didn't know so much about drift back then. :lol: I'm most likely trying to be too PC about it haha.

Anyway, 1/10 was still allot easier. But I love a challenge.

Nice vid joe 8-)

You have mucho control man. More than me :lol:

But it seems like the drift is only happening on the exit. You need less grip. Cuz you're turning the corner and getting the tail out on the exit.
The centripetal force is doing that, but what you want is the inertia from the entry speed to get you sliding.

You need to turn in too much so that you're sideways at the apex. But it seems the tape has too much grip, too much to let you slide sideways across the apex.

I really need to get a rig running.
Blast you, I wanna study :mad:

Maxx :lol:

hehe, yea, when I was running PVC tires, it was much, much easier to get sideways, and I agree with what your saying there. I need to pick up some 20mm pipe soon, then I'll make another video.

I'm going to play around with some more setups, weight distribution for one.

Thanks for the help.
