Default drift question
i been searching on how to make an xmod gen 1 drift but most i see is electrical tape... can you just use any tape for it to drift with awd kit...and another question by just buying the drift tires with the awd kit will it drift automatic with no buying any suspension etc...

Yes that will work. You have softer front and stiffer back. This means your car is setup for oversteer.

Later, T.I.M

Ah, if there isn't drift kits readily available, use them black electricians tape on your tires, tape them on, they are more grippy and offer more control and 1 roll of tape can last longer than your xmod.

knowing how to drift other cars is one thing but I am guessing they are bigger? In that case then drifting on the big one is diff from drifting the small.

I would say just use the tape I have heard scattered reviews on the drift kit.

Plus if you have the tape on the wheels and you break something you have tape with you at all times
