I cut some white pvc drift tires for my white supra. This is just the chassis drifting without a body. I was still just testing it out. It worked out great! its a blast and i can control it really well! Let me know what you think!
The picture is when it was rwd. It has awd now!

thats pretty crazy, i would have never guessed that you could fit PVC pipping on an xmod and still have it work.

yea it works pretty darn well. i had to shave down the middle plastic divider thingy on the wheels and then just popped the pvc on. no glue or anything needed a perfect fit!

do you guys think that putting pledge on the pvc will make it drift better

Azngtboi88

03-04-2007, 08:32 PM

You would have to sand it down a lot to make the same size as xmod tires. Youd probably be better off buying the rs drift kit. I wanted to be able to make a bunch of tires so when they are worn i can just swap them out. I dont know if you could do that with the rs ones or not. Oh and I dont think you would need pledge to make it work any better, it already slides like crazy! Its quite fun. The size of the pvc is 3/4". I got the 3/4" silverline from lowes!

Oh and i just watched the vid again, the sounds is kinda off. lol at the end when the chassis isnt even moving its making noise. i guess when i downloaded it to youtube it messed up or something

Looks like it doesnt take a whole lot to get it to drift. Nice job on the tires.

That's awesome! I wish I had enough room in my kitchen to do that stuff! Instead, I've been limited to areas such as tennis courts to bust out with the fun stuff.

Nice, I hadnt seen this video until now. Good job. You should trim a body up to make it fit with a body it will look better drifting :)

Azngtboi88

03-11-2007, 01:46 PM

Im working on that now. I bought 3 beater bodies that im going to trim up and repaint to use as drifter bodies. I also got another chassis for my lil brother too so we can both drift. Ill get pics of the finished drifters next weekend! I gotta wait for the bodies to come in the mail.

Updated Pictures! The bodies are just to show what they might look like. They are not going to be used for drifting.

Hey cool vid. Thanks for sharing. :)

Are you going to paint the PVC black?....

Azngtboi88

03-11-2007, 08:37 PM

If i paint it black then it would just rub off while i was drifting. Ill look into, but i think im just going to keep them white.

nice. you should try to get some pvc for the slamed wheels. that would be kick@ss

Azngtboi88

03-24-2007, 10:25 AM

i thought about that, but it would make the tires really tall and i would have to cut some more out of the wheel wells.

Why dont u try out doing that with ABS pipes? Thats the stuff they use in their hard 8.5mm wheels in atomic mods.

Azngtboi88

03-24-2007, 05:56 PM

well i bought a 6ft pipe of pvc for 1.50 sooo yea i didnt want to spend too much money on it.

someone doesn't watch Initial D enough... lol, that vid's awesome, but the AE86 and the FD shown in the vid are based off the anime Initial D, where the main character Tac drives the AE86, which does indeed have flip up lights.
