Is Drifting in a 2wd even possible?

Well, I just ran out to Home Depot and grabbed a couple PVC couplings and through them on the tires. Well that did not work as expected. I heard some people use PVC as tires to drift. I have a 2wd pan car (yea, yea, yea, I know its a POS). All I do is stay in one place, or spin in circles.

So the question is, do I need a 4wd car to drift?

its very possible, i luv drifting with my mini-z, it makes it more authentic, but is alot harder too but it is great to have all my friends with their mini-z's and im just baout the only one that car drift.

be very careful, and use the throttle liightly, only about 1/4 of throttle should be used while drifting, uh,thats about it, just practice and you'll get it down, and if you get to lazy get a 4wd touring car

I adjusted my Throttle control and all I do is spin, or stay in one place with the wheels spinning away, basically burning out.

My birthday is coming up soon so Im looking into a new car since I cant buy any parts for my POS pan car anymore. Im thinking of an HPI Super RS4, or HPI RS4 Rally, either of those good for drifting? Pros and cons of the cars?

just about any 4wd is great, i have a tamiya tl-01 and its great because its 4wd, and parts are very easy to find, but most people use electrics, but me and a friend have tried nitro and it is a little harder, but if its 4wd you should be able to do it, just be prepared to spin out a little more wit the nitro.

Check out how a real car is set up to drift and emulate that set up.
Meaning, suspension set up, camber and it helps to have some cheaper tyres on the back that are more prone to losing traction.
If I can get my touring car to drift there is no reason why you can't get a pan car to drift(pan cars are fun, why do you think otherwise?)

I cant drift in my 2wd car. I still have to get a 4WD car. But it is possible. mike check on rcdrift there was a thread a long time ago about it. I think MOMO started it.

You cant get the long drifts you get with PVC and ABS. A strict setup is needed for RWD drifting.

I hate pan cars b/c parts are nearly impossible to find.

Pan cars, at least the pan cars I'm familiar with (stuff from Trinity and Bolink) are built for obscene levels of grip, so it's a lot harder to drift a pan car then the substantially lower grip touring cars.

What pan chassis do you have?

Traxxas Street Sport. Its old. The grip on it is a little, to good. Im using some Team Losi tires that have to be part glue, they stick to the ground so well.
