Have got slick and wet tyres with hard and soft insterts, so 4 sets.
tamiya suspension, but new ones on the way
aftermarket roll / sawy bars
adjstible upper arms
turnbuckle tie rod set
ballbearing (ballrace) set
uprated gearing set
uprated prop sharft (easily removible for a bit of tail slidy fun)
ball diff set
hard road springs
2 different motors can remember which ines tho. I think one was a tamiya super stock R, the other is a racing stock i think.

There are still a few bits i can do with it

b16jonc · 13-05-2007, 13:07

What sort of mods would I need to make to my 4WD Nitro car to get it drifting nicely? I know they do a proper drift kit that changes things like the motor position, but is it really necessary? The kit is £140, and so far I've had difficulty sourcing one. Obviously I'd need to change the tyres (Although I was thinking about some PVC pipe for starters), and presumably it'll need a tad more ventilation for the motor?

Any hints and tips will be greatly appreciated

It's the HPI RTR3

Ive just built an RTR 3 with the stage D kit its the bollocks but im not gonna use it cause im shabby and need to get my other 3 cars fixed

The standard RTR3 is cool for drift in the damp but the mid engine layout of the conversion kit allows you to make some wild transitions and carry some serious angle. Im crap and i've only used it once i'd rather smash up my savage instead

I'll try and get some pics up its a tasty piece of kit

John@TunerUK · 13-05-2007, 13:51

I take it the kit has bits in that I couldn't make myself? I used to race electric RC cars in my youth, and made myself a mid engined chassis for my old Mardave Cobra just to see if it would make much of a difference. Which I'm pleased to say that it did

I got the idea from a conversion kit that Kyosho brought out for one of their RWD cars.

kroozin86 · 13-05-2007, 16:14

jsut get a leccy tt-01 or tl-01 of ebay and stick leccy tape around all 4 tires, cover the whole for the rears and cover 2/3 or from front from the center
rear = |||||||||||||||
front = |\\\\\|||||||||///////| the / \ are tread the ||||'s are tape

you can do that with any 4wd rc and it should drift, nitro's tend to over heat unless you limit the engine speed

Dex · 13-05-2007, 16:32

tape is too much of a hassle, get some loose wheels and slap ABS on them

kroozin86 · 13-05-2007, 16:33

i prefer tape you get higher speed drifts and more control aswell lol

driftnut · 17-05-2007, 17:00

I went onto Good ol Google Products and typed in "Rc drift car" and was wondering if any from the results on the first page will be any good? Cheers!

kroozin86 · 17-05-2007, 21:26

yokomo drift kits, tt-01 drift kit. what are you goin to use it for? drifting alot or just something to waste about 5 mins ?

John@TunerUK · 17-05-2007, 21:46

If I can get it to drift, then that's all I'll do with it. I may just buy that drift kit for it and go have some fun. I'm not really interested in ekectric cars anymore though. I spent years constantly charging and discharging batteries, with a nitro I can just fill it up and go
