Is the WPL D12 something I could make a working drift build out of?

[Antlers]

My main drift setup is not allowed at a local drift place bc it has a metal shell and ill take any exuse to start a new build. Is the WPL D12 viable?

I found a website on how to turn it into a drift rc. Here's the link. never had a drift build, but maybe the only thing I would worry about is it being top heavy.

It would be a good drift build for something to wrench on, but they make a drift version of the D12 from the factory

Personally, I wouldn’t waste my money. It may have the fun factor but we’ve had a few at our track and they’re very far from being competitive. I’d just pickup a RTR or a kit and build that.

If you're just looking for something to get started into modifying it's a decent platform with tons of aftermarket but beware it is cheap. The body is the best part and expect to replace everything else. If you want anything competitive, start with something better quality.

This will just be a fun build. I have a comp level build that works like a charm

Hi, bought a D12 last month and found out they changed the chassis. So if you buy a new one now you cannot use any of the alu chassis of the cheap webshops. Maybe take a look at their D14 drift?

Hey already finished the build,
I did the following to it:
-3d printed drift wheels
-brushless motor
- full metal gearbox+driveshaft
-custom steering assembly I made and 3d printed myself for proper steering angle
-gyro of course
-springs instead of leaf springs in the rear
