hey i have a tamiya TL-01 with a leightweight chassis, speed tuned gear, bearings, venom 17t motor, 2000mah battery pack and an LRP AI Runner Plus ESC. i know that 17t isnt too good for drifting, but i was outside today and it worked pretty well. i already put some clear duct tape on the tires, which are VERY slick and slippery. even more slippery than the electrical tape that i just worn down. i need some suggestions on drifting. heres what i did today so far with my tl-01:
1. whenever i would go up to the turns, i would turn the car slightly, then increase the throttle. after i get about 45 degrees on the turn, i would immedietly spin out cuz i turned too sharp. how can i fix this?
2. the suspension is pretty hard, should i leave it liike that?
3. should i lower the ride height?
4. since i cannot adjust toe-in and camber, will stock settings be okay?
any help or suggestions would be sweet, i really want to be good at drifting so i can turn some heads in the neighborhood lol.
