How do I know if my rc nitro car (road) can drift?
I have gotten an rc nitro car a couple of years ago it is stock no work done to it. I just want to know if my rc car can drift if the right drifting tires are on it.
I am not sure of all of the specs, all answers appreciated!!!
it was a few years ago I bought it.
the manual says: o.s 12,15,18 cv-ex series if that helps
Brand? Model? Power?
Drifting is sliding sideways while going around a turn.
Therefore, to drift, you have to have enough space and low enough friction so you can break the wheels free to start the sliding.
In the extreme, on a large smooth surface with hard tires, you could drift any car (see also driving on ice or using a water skid pad) although it would be extremely difficult to drive in the ordinary way.
