Hey even if my car is broken beyond repair, I'll still come along... I'll just watch and film some funnies for the memories

[GTR_Legend]

Mines petrol, was an xr8 falcon shell which i smashed to pieces. Now have an R34 GTR shell.

I also have a few other mates with them and about 4 others own one in my street.

Will get some pics and the feq of mine.

im not running the 4wd, only rwd.

For the westies - think on tuesday nights heaps of people used to meet up at the harvey norman car park in penrith for races, i think its still on???

[RANDY]

Cool!

Paul: Yeah man... your buggy will drift with PVC tyres! Take a rear and a front wheel off, go into a hardware store, and find some PVC that *just* fits over your rims. Measure the widths of the rims, cut it up, wrap tape around the rim, and wedge the PVC over it. Getting your rubber tyres off might be an issue... from memory yours are glued on? (they're supposed to be)

GTRL: Drifting with PVC tyres on a RWD car is next to impossible, but it'll be fun to watch anyway! I'm leaning towards the netball courts in Curl Curl if there is no track to go on. I'm going to sus out St Ives onroad today!

[Kennedy]

I have an Xray Factory Kit 05 but no transmittor. I've just left the RC Onroad scene after 3 years of pretty hardcore racing. I may be tempted to bring out the beast again. 4WD Onrad drift isd where it's at. Throw on a HPI R34 body to top it off.

Satanic, I may have a spare TL01 shaft at home. I'll have a look.

It's still on but they got kicked out of the harvey Norman car park. It's now on at the Penrith Regatta centre next to the water.

Pop them in the oven for 10 mins. They'll slide right off

[RANDY]

lol! Moot knows where it's at! CA glue never came off like that for me!

That HPI shell is the one that i'm ordering! Got a Porsche shell ATM.

do you use pvc pipe over the rims to drift?

[Kennedy]

Thats the easiest way.

or you can buy specially made drift tyres. They got more traction than PVC but still lose traction now and then. Clicky

Or Just put in a 6 turn motor. You'll drift on anything

[Alien]

mate just bought a TRAXXS JATO =)

thing is very quick

he would be interested in a meetup

[satanic]

Randy; there is a place down in Brookvale on weekends which is completely deserted... Nice smooth place if I remember correctly

[RANDY]

Yeah, there's tons of nice smooth places... but i want a track for proper controlled drift!

Like I said, there's tons of netball courts, which will have no issues with landlords or security, but no track!

We'll keep it as an option though =-]

[RANDY]

Here's a vid I made a couple of days ago, for those of you who haven't put PVC on your RC wheels before.

[GTR_Legend]

sweet $hit, will go get some pvc on the weekend. I will see how i go on the RWD but guess i will have to get the 4WD kit B)

[RANDY]

And here's some proof that a buggy and a nitro can drift, but they're both 4wd. These are the netball courts that I used to go to with my mates. As you can see, the track is made out of power cable, and a few bottles of various liquids. Kinda boring now.

I apologise for my mates camera-work... it gives me a headache!

There's a newish track at Windsor (about 50mins from Ryde) where it's Indoor, proper track, 20Ft driver stand, pit lane, plently of power, tables and chairs, canteen and a hobby shop on site. They race only on Monday and Friday nights but every other time the track is open to the public. $10 will get you about 4 hours track time. It's the best track by far in Sydney. No Nitro allowed though

I can't find the track info on that website?
