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.

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.

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.

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

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?
