Yes, more drifting. You can drift. It's just a little harder with a micro.

Key components:
Good torque
Non sticky tires in the front and not so sticky tires in the back.
(If you correct the the problem of the front being heavy in the bit, then you can use same tires on all 4s)

The idea:
Loose some (not all) traction on all 4 tires. The front needs to give first, then the back. Otherwise you'll just spin out. (A well balanced car drifts all 4 wheels at the same time. But, bits aren't exactly balanced like a real car)

The method:
Before you start the turn, slow down a little. When you start hitting the turn, put the mini pedal to the mini metal. Practice.

My thoughts:
Drifting can be usefull, but not as usefull as people think. It can slow down your overall run time. Plus for these cars, you can't really control the radius all that well. I usually just get a basic radius, practice it, and stick with that. If a turn doesn't correspond with that radius, then I don't do it. To really drift effectively, you would need a stiffer front steering system. And yes, propo would be extremely helpfull. Also, try to get some of the weight off the front wheels. Tomy didn't have in mind the idea of racing when they made these cars. They are front heavy. That makes the front tires stick more.
