PVC pipe Tires

I made some tires out of pvc pipe today, but they only fit on my foam tire kit rims. Anyways, I have to say, this is a crazy mod. Burnouts like crazy... ON CEMENT!

I can drift so easily (yah i know its cheating ) but its fun hehe.

i might have a vid soon.

well both actually, but the burnouts useually happen if your going full throttle pulling the steering to like a hard right or hard left. Difficult to control but im getting used to it. One major problem is the loss of grip to the cement, i need to find a way to get better grip...

to get better grip take the pvc pipes off hahah just kiding, its a good idea, i saw a video of someone doing it, and when you get control of it, it looks awsome, by the was it was a 1/10th scale car and it was not going very fast. kinda floated around the track.....still cool though

for better control use AWD. the people in the japanese video were using i think hpi rs4's with belt driven 4wd. so i think the AWD upgrade will help out the control with the pvc pipes. can u tell me wut diameter the ovc is that u used? i wanna drift like them japs!
