I'm still learning to drift so my lines may not be as clean as some other videos out there on the net, but I kinda like how far I've gotten since the last video. So please, let me know what you think and offer some criticism of my drifting :grin:

how do you have your diffs set up? i've found out the way you set up your diffs make or break a drifter.

I have to re tighten the diffs, they've become a bit loose compared to how they were before. I'm just too lazy to do a complete tear-down.

They're supposed to be,
Rear: All but locked (very tight)
Front: Just a little looser than the rear

I'm guessing they're abit even judging my the angles I'm getting

try having the fronts tighter than the rears.

I don't have 1:10, but on 1:28 softer front suspension helps a lot with the weight transfer. Could help with the next corner :-)

I don't get it. I like the whole drifting thing--it reminds me of my 73 Z28 and a K-Mart parking lot on saturday nights--but why only a few cars at a time at best. Hell, in this part of the country we've been sliding cars sideways--on dirt no less--at about 130mph twenty or so at a time, since the 1930's...they're called sprint cars. If you want the sport to be really cool, put out ten-twenty cars all at once and make them race at the same time. 1100lbs and about 850hp...150mph at Eldora Speedway!
