The remote control drift car, TT01 uses a planetary gear set up which rotates under a central gear. This is used for rear diff and is also easy to convert. There are two ways to lock this diff. One way is to open the diff and fill it with glue from a glue gun.  By taking a small piece of fuel tubing and cutting it open along its length, this can then be rolled around one of the planetary gears. It is advisable to close the diff and check for the desired result before we put it back. Buying one of the spools of the hop – up type can be another option.

Let us now discuss about another type of RC drift car – TA05. It can use the ball diff at the front and back which is quite tough to modify yet it can be modified using pop rivets. All we have to do is to open the diff, remove the ball bearings and metal plates that the balls run along. Three holes can then be drilled in the side to get both halves of the diff. They can then be pop riveted together and the rivets can be filed down. We have to be extremely cautious to do this. The mechanism is not reversible and making a mistake can even destroy the diff.  The holes going through the diff will eventually destroy it because it will be weakened by the holes. For TA05, Spool diff is available and it will also be a better option.

We can try out certain different setups to find out the one that will really suit our car in all the best possible way. These setups can vary from car to car but the basic principle behind everything is the same. To get more control, it is always preferable to use a front one-way diff or a center one-way diff. It should be noted that using brakes at any time is the same as using e-brake or hand-brake. Using a hand-brake can be very useful when one wish to initiate a drift. A proper usage of hand-brake can drift a real car by 180 degrees.  It has become more common that people have even started drifting their cars by 270 or 360 degrees.

RC Drift

It is a general opinion that drifting is more exciting than racing. While both drifting and racing requires lots of skills, racing is purely dependant on the type of car we use. So it cannot be said that the TT01 will always win a carbon – fiber racing in a race. When it comes to drifting, it can be guaranteed that TT01 can out perform any car set for the challenge. Drifting is not an easy task. It requires lot of driving skills but with enough potential, good drifters can no doubt achieve victory. A good financial baking is very essential for racing but drifting does not require a heavy backing. This is a great advantage for the drifters.
