Make Your Own Rc Drift Tires

Back before RC drifting become as commercial as it is today, we used to use a couple of tricks to get ourselves sideways, I explore a little drift history and explain how you can make your own drift tires on a shoestring.

As soon as I realized that 1/10 scale remote control cars were almost identical to real cars, I knew they would drift, the only problem was that without an incredibly powerful motor and a huge tire budget it just wasn’t a reality.

At first we tried to change the surface, as there quiet a few places where you can drift really well on rubber tires, underground parking lots for example. It wasn’t until a few months later that we started to experiment with changing the tires to drift, the first thing we did to tape the tires, this involves using insulation tape to leave the tire without any traction, there is a specific way which works the best, you only tape the outside edges of your tire, or what I found also works as taking a strip down the center of each tire, but leaving the edges open rubber.

You need to experiment to find out what works best with your particular car and driving style.

It wasn’t long after we first started drifting that other types of tires started to pop up, Tamiya released a drift tire which was a very hard rubber, this gave a little too much traction, but with a nitro car they are just perfect. Yokomo had a set of tires that included two hard plastic rings, they were replaceable, but at a pretty steep cost, they later retired these for a solid center replaceable ring, that still wares out too quickly and costs too much to replace.

Currently the tire of choice is a completely hard tire made from polyethylene, which give a very nice amount of grip for drifting, these are last much longer than the tape or hard rubber tires. In me experience the polyethylene tires can last well over a year.

To fit the polyethylene tires the best way to do it is to heat up the tire and cool down the rim, I put the rims in a fridge for a few hours and use a hair dryer to heat up the tires, then they slide over each other and when they cool down / heat up the polyethylene tire will fit snugly on the rims.

One of the most important things to consider when choosing a drift tire is what everyone else is using, it’s difficult to compete with people who are using a different type of tire as it will make your car perform differently to the one on the track, if you have too much traction you’ll have too much speed, then you will out run the others, which would be a good thing if you were racing. no enough traction and you won’t be able to keep up with the big drifts.

Taping your tires is a great place to start, but it doesn’t last long, at best only a couple of runs, and it’s not something you can use in a competition and expect to place.

It gives us the time to relax out and just hang out and enjoy something that gives pleasure instead of headaches.

Ever since movies like “Gone in 60 Seconds” and “Fast and the Furious” came out, autos and racing became more preferred. However, since not all of us can enjoy a drag race out in the streets continually, we may just have to content ourselves with tiny models of drift automobiles, racing autos, dune carts and such like. Luckily there are corporations and web sites like NitroRCX who can deal with folks who like to race and play with radio controlled cars.

On a personal note, I’ve always been a drift fan. Drift is not so favored outside Japan but it has found its way in other countries and since I can’t afford a drift car, finding scale models which actually look like the real thing at NitroRCX has been a very surprising experience. Exact drifting as a hobby is dear as such, but being able to experience the feeling of driving a drift car, albeit a scale model with a radio control, is a very good feeling indeed. And since RC’s are definitely more affordable than the particular car itself, this is one beginner hobbyist looking to go hardcore!

RC Drift Cars, Tips for Building Your Own

Especially since the release of “The Fast and the Furious, Tokyo Drift,” we all know that car drifting is very popular in Japan. However, the popularity of the sport is spilling over into the United States rc car market. Did you know there is such a thing as rc drift cars? There is, in fact rc drifting has become a highly recognized sport. Once you see it, you will be hooked. Here are some things you should know when building an rc drift car.

First of all, electric rc cars are far better than nitro models when it comes to drifting. That is because it’s easier to control the throttle of an electric car, especially during a drift. Attempting to drift with a Nitro rc cars leads to a burnt out clutch and an overheated engine most of the time. It is highly recommended to use a shaft drive rc car as opposed to a belt driven transmission for your drifter. This allows for the best throttle response and avoids the backlash which often occurs due to the belt design. If you are building from scratch, shaft drive cars will make for the best drifters.

When it comes to the motor, you need high torque. It is very common to use 19 turn motors. The standard Mabuchi 540 works fine as well. Be sure to gear your car for acceleration and not for top speed. Also be sure to use a four wheel drive machine. 4×4 is much easier to control when drifting. If you already have a functional touring car, than turning your car into a drifter simply requires a tire change. RC drifters usually use tires made up of PVC pipes. Although you can also use ABS pipes, which are slightly softer than PVC material, or rubber tires that would be wrapped in electrical tape.

If you want to make your own PVC tires you need to buy a ten feet long, two inch diameter PVC pipe from your local hardware store. Get them as round as possible and avoid shops that sell deformed, or oval-shaped pipes. Another alternative is to buy specially made drift tires that are manufactured by Yokomo. These are rubber tires that have grooves in which you mount the Yokomo made drift ring onto. Another inexpensive way of building your own drift tires is to use a plastic cap that can be found on a spray paint can. These typically fit onto a regular touring car rubber tire and it would be much easier than cutting your own PVC tires.

When building your rc drift car just remember to get the accessories that are sized just right. A lot of times PVC pipes are slightly larger in diameter and a drifter is meant to be composed exactly to perfection. Other than that, stay away from nitro rc cars and form your new rc drift car out of any electric rc car out there. RC drifting has never been so easy.
