Tuneup Set?

What exactly is the purpose of the black solid plastic paddle wheels that come with the Tuneup Set? You can't put any rubber on them and the color of them does not match any Bits or Microsizers that are out already.

That is the drift axle. It's not supposed to have any tires on it.

so i never fully understood the purpose of a drift axle. you pretty much use it to see who can control their donuts the best? or to simulate driving around in vice city with your tires shot out?

it's a gimmick for the intial d lovers like me, just call it "drift" and we will grab it as quick as they come, but since we know the effects, it's a waste because the same effect can be easily done by having no tires on your stock rims.

actually, and knowing from myself, depending on your setup its easy as hell to drift, wether be on wood floor, lenolium, or any hard/smooth surface


you don't need the "drift axle" to drift, unless you feel like doing endless doughnuts

cmon guys if even if u dont watch initial d u should know what drifting is. its pretty much a power slide turn keeping your speed up so u dont slow down its a cool technique in real life but i cant controll mine very well.

PS anyone got a video of them pullin out some inertia driftin.
