Post pictures of your Drifters!

Honestly, I'm not sure. They're the ones off my redcat. I bought them over a year ago and they were still brand new. Yokomo something. I've still got the ones that came with the TT01.

Were they Yokomo drift tires? That's pretty weird that they wore down so quickly, even with a torquey motor.

Prolly has a little something to do with the surface too. Yes they were drift tires.

I wear out pvc tires within 15 runs

Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot about the surface. I usually run mine on like carpet or smooth cement, lol.

Rough asphalt! They poured a new lot down the street that I'm just itching to go run on.

I could probably think the lowest should be 15T, but yeah that is pretty dang quick. If you think you can handle it, try it. I run a 13.5 brushless, which is equivalent to a 27T, but I definitely feel I should go a bit lower to keep up with some cars at my track. 27T is definitely good for some smooth drifting and decently fast speed on straightaways, but for something a faster you can try even 20T.

Thanks for the help. At the moment i think I've got a 19t motor, will my gear setup have a lot of effect on my car?

My brothers TT01 has the same turn motor as mine but his is quite a lot faster than mine. Is this down to the gearing?

Yea that's probably a big part of it

I've finished the kit & first body on my HPI Sprint 2 drifter. I'll use this body when running on asphalt etc. I'm currently working on 2 "show" bodies which will have LED light kits and the works.

Amoeba, that car really came out nice! I like it!

Here's a couple of pics of my chasis with the upgrades so far.
