I found out boosters are really good at drifting. Start going normal, and at the same time you hit boost, turn left or right. You can also start it out with the boost and turn right away. Well, it goes into a controlled drift because the tires don't have enough time to get a good grip with the faster speed.

I use hard fronts and soft backs with a 3.0 motor!
I drifted 3 ft last night and I was about to wipe out when it ran into a wall!

Racer9 · #94 04-02-2003, 03:30 PM

oh yeah I drive straight forwards to top speed and turn. Sometimes I let off the throttle if I'm close to the wall but I hold it on more than not. I spin alot too!

I just put graphite lock lube on the back tires for burnouts and powerslides.

I feel like a total n00b, and sorry if this is a stupid question. But what are doughnuts?

A dohnut is just when you are turning round and round with a 0 turning circle

Well there's no substitute for raw h.p. and speed if you want to drift the natural way, and not worry about gear sets, tire specs, motor size, just give whatever motor you have the dual cell (inside the chassis) pow pow and drift! you do have to mod, and the rear wheelset needs tweaking to get the right weight and traction(I just super glued aluminum collars onto the existing wheels--then made me some custom tires).

the picture...ya I know these are nissan shells, but hey they were the only decals I had at the time

Alex · #**101** 06-14-2003, 09:42 AM

why do you have a toyota emblem on a nissan.....

jedclampit · #**102** 06-18-2003, 10:40 AM

Already covered that question Alex... sides Toyota rules and Nissan sucks---that's how it is in real life too. I just always end up with a damn skyline anytime I order one of these cheap little cars.

I just got my BCG bout a week ago. It's a STOCK Loctite Zexel GT-R Nissan Skyline and I have no problems drifting around corners... especially pin-tail turns. Mind you I've been playing with it for a lot of time and I've found that in mid-turn, to get your rear wheels to lose grip, I just tap reverse VERY quickly, and then gas it around the corner. The sudden acceleration slips the wheels while your turning and VOILA! drift. It may or may not work for anyone else but sure does work wonders with mine. Oh, I drive on tile floor and it gets quite bumpy between tiles, but I dont think it really allows my BCG to drift any better or worse.

(Loctite Zexel GT-R set-up for those who dont know what stock is)

I drift good all stock except the motor. I use the zip zap 2.8. I have a booster car. I am going to order a gear set tireset and play around with my stabilizers till I get it perfect. BTW, I seem to be able to drift better with my rx-7 than my celica.

Oh yeah, to drift I go unboosted turn and tap the booster button and keep tapping it untill you need to exit the turn then let of.
