I'm excited for the day that I'm old and I can tell the kids "you know back before we had quantum nuclear induction motors we used to have to run brushless"

in my day we had to cut coms and break in brushes.

sometimes i look at these fancy new 1/8 GT kits coming out of italy and wonder if they're really worth their price premium over more conventional offerings or if it's just the italian badge at work again

How easy are they to scratch and scuff?

as someone with a collection of Lamborghini's and a few other things (Audi R8 GT, Porsche 550 Spyder, Porsche 356 coupe, Hot Wheels VW Bus) yes, yes you do want to start.

they're powder coated so... the biggest issue is dust. you ether have to display them in the box or a case, or they turn fuzzy in no time.

Lol it’s alright but thanks. To be honest I’m having second thoughts about it.

I can definitely see why, I’m just not sure if I have the space

Anyone try to drift convert non drift cars?

Anyone try to drift convert non drift cars?

Such as a standard on road touring car?

Or more like this?

A: yes I drift my Miata (ﾟヮﾟ)
B: I was talking about somthing like drift converting a slash

 

[Mrgoodwrench35]

I believe weight placement and steering travel are 2 very important factors in a drift car. I dont own any actual drift cars but from what I've seen, the motors are mounted rearward and high to help the back end kick out. Neither the 2 or 4wd slash are set up that way. Nor do they have the ability to steer as far as a drift chassis. I'm sure, with enough parts and mods it could be done with any chassis. Doubt its worth it though. I recently saw a redcat drift chassis for $100. You'd have far more than that in time and parts trying to get a slash to that level.

I would think the size of the slash would keep it from competing on a drift course that most common drift cars use. Compare wheelbase and width to start.
