i never knew that my grip would decrease that much by just switching to abs piping on the wheels, i was using electrikal tape but it was relly boring because it ran out and gained grip again in a little while and just sucked, but with the abs i can slide for a good 10-15 feet with a stock to the bone tl01 i luv this!!!!!

Use PVC and you will slide even longer.

Take a look at Steves thread up top about drifting.
ABS and PVC are tubing. ABS is more softer graphite compound, PVC is a hard plastic compound. With ABS you have more control while still being able to slide around. PVC takes a little more finess to get perfect slides and maneuver through a series of turns.
You can slide the PVC or ABS onto the wheel or tire. Either if fine, just make sure if it fits very snug. Sometimes a couple wraps of electrical tape around the wheel or tire can help assure a snug fit.
