I say nay. In the simplest matters, if you want to drift, you must have an AWD kit. For the tires, just wrap them in scotch tape, masking tape, or electrical tape. A more powerful motor doesn't help (in my experience), suspension doesn't help, tie rod upgrades don't help. Just AWD and electrical wheels is what I use in my drift setup. Everything else is stock.

Well that is so true,

[DRFTKO]

The majority of members here prefer a motor set up with good torque, such as the stock stage one motor combination, to have the adequate torque needed to drift. I, on the other hand, have had more success just using a stage 2 set up. There is one indicated in the upgrade for drifting, but I can't recall the color or specifications off the top of my head. As Taiwanese Kid mentioned, tires wrapped in electrical tape works well for a lot of members, but you can also get the drift wheels that are a little better in my opinion.

Yea if u like just playin' round, tape is perfect, but if u like style and keepin it real then drift tyrs are for u

[1FasImp]

k. Thanks, I guess i dont need to do anything to it then. The evo has the RS stage 2 drift motor, AWD, and drift kit.

[xmodsdewd]

I guess its drift time then

Naw. Not yet. The lancer has a range problem, do It sputters, almost like a real car does when its running out of gas (Best way I could describe it). It can be two feet in fornt of me and do this. So Im going to replace the 9v battery and hope that fixes the problem. The car batteries are good, their new.

[xmodsdewd]

Sounds bad, I have a few chassis that do the same thing, I can't figure it out.
BTW, did u mess with the ride highth any on the supra

[1FasImp]

Nope, I havent messed with anything on the supra. Just some RS upgrades.

[xmodsdewd]

Oh! I was just wandering, cause it kooks like it rides lower than my stock supras
this is after I loemwered it


Here is wat it looked like stock

[1FasImp]

looks good. I think im going to lower the front and maybe some of the rear on the Tc.

[xmodsdewd]

I just lowered myn with a peice of psp game case, I just cut it and screwd it to the chassis

[1FasImp]

So i got bored today and installed the 2 sets of FETs I got from AM, and lowered the front on the TC. I did a test drive on what little space i have and its awesome. I will get a 2x6 FET stack for it later.
Heres some pics


Stock


Lowered


If you look at the front wheel wells, you can see the difference






Stock FET burnt


Stacked FETs

[xmodsdewd]

Nice job man,the lowered body does look way better then raised way up,nice job on the fet replacemant,i just had to replace a resistor on my gen 1,cause it burnt up so I know the feeling of burnin' sumthin'.

[1FasImp]

Thanks.

I got an update on the Tc. It doesn't go foward anymore. Shortly after my last post t I was
Driving it around in my garage, and had a head on collision with the lawn mower wheel. ever since then it stopped going foward. I checked the FETs to make sure they were still on. They are still connected. What could be the problem for this?

[xmodsdewd]

It probably busted a resistor on the board, did u do a complete board check.

[1FasImp]

No I didn't. I don't evrn know what i should begin to lookin for.

[xmodsdewd]

I would just check every thing, I start by lookin at all the wire hook ups ,then any resistors,
BTW! Did u try to put a difrent motor in it?

[1FasImp]

Ill have to do some researchin on the board and its components, so i kind of know what im doing.
yea i swapped motors.

[1FasImp]

I looked at my board and couldnt find anything wrong ( even comparing to another board).I may be overlooking something. I got some pics could you look over them and see if i missed anything. Thanks for the help.
