So I picked up this the other day…under recommendation from a friend. Holy crap is this thing a blast😂. Its 1/28 drift truck, comes with rubber tires which drifted pretty good in kitchen. I also grabbed a set of plastic tires View attachment 163445it fits on my iPhone 13 ProView attachment 163446View attachment 163447

They are pretty fun. Especially with the plastic wheels.
Try cutting some tennis balls in half and make a track. I have found that getting sideways is one thing but doing it perfectly around a turn is quite another.
I have a 16th and a 10 scale of that same truck and love it. I just may have to get the 28th scale just so I can drift in my kitchen also.

(Sorry for a double post) Bought a bunch of small 5 gram weights for my pan car chassis, They're designed for motorcycle wheels, but these are the perfect size (dime for comparison)

Have you tried the Wild Turkey American Honey? It's really good straight, or with a Vanilla Coke.

I used to drink Beam, but moved to Wild Turkey and Maker's Mark. I can't drink Beam now. Hell, I don't drink anything now 😜

We went to the Wild Turkey distillery the year they came out with American Honey. Boy, if you wanna get drunk... they don't mind giving you "samples" (lol) til you 🤢🤮

The Jack Daniels distillery, funny enough, is in a dry county. The best they can offer is they let you smell it.

I used to go to the lakeridge winery. Almost got arrested there and I wasn't drinking. I was crawling in a little pond and I guess Polk corrections felt it was there property and told me to move it or he will gladly give me an Uber. I'm glad it was windy that day.

Since I was 17 Dutch Masters and Beam I have always been drawn too. Always go back. I've been lookin at the Turkey here and there.

Turkey is a bit more umm... stout lets say. Jim Beam - I used to love it. Now it just tastes like really watered down whiskey. Get you a small bottle of Wild Turkey Rare Breed, or Russel's Reserve. Russel is their master distiller, and a heck of a nice guy.

Oh, I saw one time Jim Beam was selling vintage bottle labels on their site. Wonder if they still do 🤔 Might be a good decal to decoupage inside a lexan body 😉

I thought about that. With my luck I'll be stopped and given a sobriety test. With my 3 herniated disc's, I'm gonna fail anyways. I may still do it.
 
Dude. I want those. What are you putting them on? Looks like it can handle this Florida swamp.
Hey Chu...I'm putting them on the RYFT. From what I've read about them supposed to be really good on wet and soft soil. They're going on the wheels in the previous post. They should work good and I like the look of the wheels. If you get the tires watch the inner dimension as they have both 1.9 and 2.2.

Well if I buy the wrong ones I guess I'm gonna have to build another truck. Post pics when done. The slash gas a UTV body. 🤔🤔

I bet they roost nice on 3s in the softness.

LOL.. Any excuse is better than none for building a new rig.

Well think of the money wasted as those tires sit waiting to hold paper down. Sounds like a depressing life to me. It's the humane thing to do. 🤣🤪
