Nope, that is how they are supposed to be; try it on a canvas-like surface.

Have you tried hard tires up front? If that doesn't work, then yes, plastic might give you better results.

Its too bad these suckers won't come any close to a perfect drift.
Man, i was really looking forward to trying to drift the cars. Maybe I'll figure out a way, or one of you guys.

the reason u cant, is because the damn front tires...they wobble left and right too much, and when u try to turn realy fast, they just stay planted in one direction, or in a random direction really..
and donuts ahoy!
i spent a couple hours with that damn axle, i tried tire combinations, weight distribution, etc...the only thing i havent tried is increasing the front camber, and that will take some drilling/sanding....and i didnt wanna do that until i find another chassis cover to mess with
