Ok i have two questions
1) To make touring 1/10 scale rc car into a drift car i just need to change tires right?
2) How long do batteries last in thouse rc cars?1/10 scale electric rc car???no you need more than just a new set of tires .. but it does help
hpi sells the most well known drifting kit _ D BOX- its a component that when you turn one way it automatically re- balances the other side ( counter steering ) and sends it into a drifting state which the car drifts .. its pretty expense but for the cost its great .. all the pros use it
check it out at http://www.hpiracing.com/products/en/80588.html
what kind of batteries you use.. the higher the amp the longer and more responsive the controls will be - like a LI Po battery (best one on the market is great.. but it needs a special charger and speed control to handel the power but normal batteries only last like 15 minuits
hope this helps you .. and a sweet way to drift with out it is go to a skating rink and let your car loose :)
