When I start to slide, I apply a little reverse lock by tapping/releasing the steering button very quickly. This helps keep me from overcorrecting and spinning out. Dust on floors is awesome for drifting no matter what tires you may be running

wouldn't the dust come off eventually? I still think theres some other thing I can put on the tires to drift.

not really... you actually accumulate more and more if you don't clean up. That's what happens to my car.

I jsut thought of this a couple of days ago: Put tape on your tires! Alot of tape is so smooth you may be able to get your car to drift really well! Scotch tape is what I am going to use.

Do not tape the whole tire!

put a very thin strip on ALL four tires. Get some electrical tape and devide it length-ways 4 times. In half, then that half, in half etc. It also helps to have a little more weight at the back. This shifts the C.O.G further to the back. If you wanto see the results, check alittle earlier in these posts and you will see my drift vid.

The use of verylittle tape is so that the tires can break traction but not lose all of it.

Hope that helps.

Will scotch tape work though? By the way thanks.

I have never used scotch tape. But I guess it would work.

Glad to help

Can I cut the tape instead of fold it?

#**144** 11-24-2003, 12:21 AM

Of course you cut it. It wont stick if you fold it.

Ooo I noticed you have been posting a lot on this topic...

You want stretched out tires? Use front tires on the back axles!!
