I still have yet to figure out why people follow drifting after seeing it for the first 5 minutes.
some people must drift in order to deliver tofu to a hotel on a mountain top.

we use pvc tires....cut them to desired width and mount it on the rim and you will be sliding just like them....it also helps to have locked diffs..

yeah the tape trick will work but, it will not last long either. your best and cheepest thing to do is buy some ABS pipe the black kind and just cut it down....i drift the hpi pro 2 and tamiya TL-01...but any all wheel drive rc will drift though....

i might ad if your thinking of getting the yokomo drift kit it is the same exact thing as the associated TC3...it doesnt even come with bearings....and the drift rings and wheels it comes with are total junk...just buy a body from yokomo but not the drifter kit and it wont cost as much..
