RS4 Pro 2 - Want to drift!

Hi,

I've seen the vids of the Yokomo drift cars, and I want to give it a try. I have an old Pro 2 that I haven't used in several years, what do I need to get drifting? Where seem to be special tyres or something? Any help appreciated!

Those special tires are extremely expensive, they cost about $0.68 for two. Just go to Lowes bring your wheels and find some PVC cuplings that fit real snug around the wheel. Also take a minute to read the drift sticky up top.

also glue the pvc pipe or abs pipe to the wheels or they will slip no matter how snug it seems, any super glue or wutever will work, after that you should be able to atleast try drifting, if you like it, you can buy mods like high torque motor, things to stiffen the chassis and so on

Dammit Steve stop advertising the site...I dont want to ban you, or have you banned by another mod.

Get people to stay here, and come here. Everyone asks why this forum is so dead, this is why. Everybody always refers people to other places. Go to Drift Central and refer everyone here.

Re: RS4 Pro 2 - Want to drift!

If we get more people posting here, and it begins to grow steadily I can add a drifting subforum.
