Now that you have settled on the car that is to be converted into a drift car, you will have to start on the actual conversion process. There are various ways to start with and you can decide where you want to begin with. As a tutor, I will be guiding you to take the right path quickly so that you have some time to settle down.

People generally construe that for drifting you need lots of engine power to take complete control as you drift in a small place or a corner. I will guide you as a tutor to come out of this misconception.

You would require a twisted and an altered suspension so that it would be practically impossible to lose the control of your car when you are passing from the corner.

Now, that the point is clear, let us begin.

You need to write down the spares and components that you would need and most importantly, you need to abide by the list. Don’t buy unnecessary things such as shining knobs and steering wheels. What you need is components such as sway bars and polyurethane bushings. Surely, you want to convert the car in to a drift car and not some fashionable car, so you need to look for substance and not the appearance of the car.

Focus on the components that you would need to make the suspension powerful. If you take care of the suspension, your car will generate 150 horse power and will glide smoothly. Hence for a proper suspension you will need:

• New sturdy helmet
• Coil overs that can be adjusted
• Sway bars much bigger in size
• Stut bars
• LSD or limited slip differential
• Bushings made of Polyurethane
• Racing harnesses of 5/6 points as certified by SFI 16.1

These are the necessary components required to get you going. The total cost of all the components would sum up to $4000 to $5000.

Points to be remembered while looking out for components:

• Research thoroughly.
• You need to gather knowledge about the spares and the brands that make them.
• You will gather lots of information through forums, internet, try to get an insight about the advantages and disadvantages of the particular spares that you intend to buy.
• By spending some time on collecting information, you will save more in terms of money as well as time by not having to go through the unwanted items.

To summarize, you know the estimated expenses, you have decided upon the car, and you already have listed down the parts you would need. So, you will not deviate from the course and will remain focused on the path.

In the next tutorial, we shall discuss regarding tires and the combination of the rim.

The basic question that everyone has in mind while purchasing a car with radio control is that, which one of them can give the best speed? In case you need a car with radio control to travel greater distance, then you should opt for the car that runs on gas. The gas versions maintain the pace for greater span of time. Whether you are dragging the car or enduring it, Nitro cars will fetch good results.

The best of the racers pace their cars at maximum speeds of more than 70 miles an hour and maintain a scale of 1/8 on the road.

If you need a fast car, then, opt for Nitro 4-tec of the Traxxas or the TC3 Nitro of Team Associated. These cars can pace for more than 75 miles an hour.

As per the records certified by the Guinness World Records, in the year 2001, Cliff Lett achieved the top speed of 111 miles an hour by modifying RC10 L30.

You have to plan regarding the cars that sustain the most while racing, so as to facilitate ease and control while practicing drifts.

One of the vital parts of racing is drifting. The quickest drivers of the nitro cars have perfected this skill. So you need to master the art of drifting, if you want to be the best in the car race.

If you want to surpass the best car racers, you will need to make some alterations in your car. Given below are some of the tips that can enhance your career as a car racer:

• Select a car that has circular edges
• Tires should be the ones made especially for drifting.

Get a grip and control on your car and understand the basics of the radio controlled car better, before driving it at super speed and participating in drift race.

Minute alterations can increase the pace and you will understand these as you do more and more car races. You won’t get tailor made instructions in any of the car brands, but you may need it to enhance the career of radio controlled races. You ought to take care.

People are confused when they think about what car can be used for drifting. The answer for this is “you can get a 4 wheel drive tour car and fit drift tires in it”. Drive it and drift. In spite of its full size, a rear WD car is best when used. But this is not true for RC drifting because when the rear wheel drive car is used, it leads to frustration.

A real 4 WD tour car costs over 100 dollars (if it is a good one). To get a better priced 4 WD then find it out in e bay. Many people are attracted towards the RC and it is a hobby for a lot of people. But it is for a while only and then later they auction their stuff. One is benefited a lot from these auctions. There are cars that are sold for 500 dollars but as an entry level drifter you must select a less priced one.

Many people are interested in using a brand new car. There are many packages available for them. Yokohoma is one of the best RC drift cars. Another such is Tamiya. These offer cars for drifting. The fact is that these cars are the basic tour cars which have minimum changes that are made to make them drift specific. You can save money when you use a better motor.

You can also add speed control. The requirements for the better motor and speed control are that you need an electric speed control which handles stress. It should be rated down to 17t. The motor should have torque higher than top speed. The best choice is 27 turn motor. You should buy monster horsepower stock edition which is a fast and tough motor.
