New to Drifting.

[ianlloyd]

OK lets start this off with something simple.

Never having "drifted" before, well not intentionally anyway, if I am going to have a go at this what do I need to do. I have a spare touring car so what is the starting set up, do I need those hard plastic tyres etc, give us some pointers as to where to start.

Thanks

First off what model touring car is it.
You will need a spool or locked diff in the rear and a oneway up front one way not desperatly needed.
Then some hard compound tyres for carpet drift you want very hard I recommend mst hardest.
For the outdoor track you want medium to hard compound.
Any esc will do but motor you wany around a 10.5. You will also want a fast servo the faster the better.
All stuff can be bought at great prices from matt, mike and myself at ghzhobbies.
Il start a new thread for first meet on outdoor track to get a kind of meet and greet/demo so anyone interested can come down have a go and chat.
