RC Nitro Drifting - 2x HPI RS4

[yelood95]

@MsFreighttrain piss off electric is shit

There not easier, they're cheaper and shitter but they're not easier

And it proves you have more skill if it's harder to drift a nitro car

[MsFreighttrain]

electric cars are much easyer and better than nitro

[jsh0769]

i also nitro drift user. plz come and see my nitro drift vid :)

[ThaMaikel13]

Lol just standard RS4's that are going full throttle to turn.

Even my Savage can do that >.>

[jogproofys]

your guys tuning is all jacked up

[DoraggPvp]

It looks so small in this video... Must be the bodies you got on them.

[captaincookie420]

not awsome...it sucks, i've done it and can cost hundreds to fix

[AirNikeDude]

It would be awsomee if he actually hits the wall at full speed since he's getting so close to it Lol

[sixxxPsP]

stage D...haha

[sixxxPsP]

mustang sounds good...

[YoYoFantic]

[XXunloved752]

[tee719]

[ShaYAN00202]

are these hard to drift with?

[dzaldin]

p.s. dont hit cones next time u drift lol the one at hte end was hit lol

[xtmxst]

wow ur not bad considering ur using a standared car i think its standered anyway. keep burning rubber

[SuperChevy446]

hey guys im thinking of buying one of these. Do you have meny problems with them?

[oneofakindtrini]

not if you take care of it

[DragonInfraXtremeRGT]

how did the rc cars cost you ?

[adk91]

where about diid you drive your car because iv been searching for spot like yours everywere.?

[masterkdrifter]

thats y its better 2 buy an electric car 2 drift. its so much more presice. and it doesnt take for ever to get used to.

[jeramii21]

nah not really i have both... electric and nitro i prefer nitro because of the power. this just needed a slit prctise and less dripier tyres.

[xtmxst]

electrics are better if u dont want to upset the nabours. i prefere nitro anyday

[mcgrath111]

i live in AUS!!

[hefferm]

Congratulations

[twojaythomo]

Hey are you using hard rubber compound tyres or PVC which is better

[hefferm]

HPI Stage D Drift (M compound) tires. 26mm front, 30mm back

[NitroExplosion88]

What do you need to do to make them drift like that. what you need to change besides the tires and what name brand i got jaco tires on my ntc3

[mcgrath111]

u only need slick tyres and alot of practise u dont need that drif box shit thats for ppl who cant handle there car.

[jerbar120]

can you drive them on the grass

[tylerthevalentine]

jerbar120; not on grass but you can put rally wheels on them and race on dirt tracks. whitout them you run the risk of damaging your engine since there is no traction.

[jerbar120]

so the wheels i can put will allow me to to run on grass what kind of wheels are they

[DukeLuke1020]

if you want an offroad car... get a savage, or tmaxx, or rustler.. cause if you just want to drive on grass and stuff, don't get one of these, they are made for road...

[ohxto]

ppl with Rs4's prolly need to buy new tires every few months... am i right? i mean hell if i had one i'd be drifting too. Just seems like drifting eats up tires FASSST.

[babhee]

lol.

no finesse, it's not even close to the pylons. ^_^

[hefferm]

send us a link to your vids then? Or check my other vids with a track setup in it...

[marty363]

oops

[marty363]

do u use d hpi super drift tires A type, cus if u do, do u need foam inserts.

[marty363]

do u use d hpi super drift tires A type, cus if u do, do u need foam inserts.

[zildjianbro411]

What drift tires r u using??

[raynoldmendoza]

i was just wondering, what were the main mods you did to the evo 3? because i currently own one and i've had it for few years and want to spend some money on it, so got like any tips on what to i should buy?

[hefferm]

Stage D conversion kit

[oooosix]

did u get the hpi drift box ?

[propaintballa]

Drift box is such false economy. You dont need some shitty box to drift.

[alexiswouters]

nice cars! i like the shelby

[RosscoeP16]

wer do u get these frm.

[Nester153]

Hey guys....great tens ...looks like the stang was running a little lean at the end.....I have a TC3 made for drifting..can do 76mph on a good day...also own a MGT...lots of fun..:-)

[kkoullas93]

kyosho is the best

[hefferm]

compared to what? Your comment shows how little you know.

[Twhite100]

my kyosho gp ten fazer drifts more i had the back end 75 degrees out

[hefferm]

Sure - but how long can you hold a drift for? Watch real drifting - it's not about how sideways you can get, but how long you can keep the car going sideways for. Generally - 45 degrees is an appropriate angle to hold a drift line

[eligs340]

sounds awsome like it ahs power

[HPIRACINGBOY]

sounds hakked

[hefferm]

Never heard an RB engine?

[diesurever]

the sound was sux

[hefferm]

So is your english. You wouldn't know what a good sounding RC engine was if someone threw it at you.

[madaboutrc]

tht shelby sounds ruff

[hefferm]

Ruff? Is running an RB WSIII (.21) on a 1/10th car. Tough.

[madaboutrc]

klkl tht got the drift assist on it?

[sk8dude305]

where u get em?

[mlodypogan]

nice what tire r u using??

[Harvz78]

What tire are you using ??

[hefferm]

HPI Stage D rubber compound

[jordanghafoor]

hi my dad got me an rs4 2 nitro will it ba any good at drifting and could you help me cos when i start it up the back wheels and front start spinning by thems selves ??

[hefferm]

HPI make a Stage D (drift kit) for the RS4 - both cars in this vid have them. Sounds like your car is idling too high. For advice - go to your local hobby store, or search some online RC forums. Youtube is for videos...

[basildonbear1]

G8 VID g8 drifting :D im a noob to nitro and i got a GX1 and i love it. any 1 no a good place to get drifting gear?? :D

[DEANOKEV]

great nitro cars just got dodge viper nitro trying to drift

[shinexrhyme]

I'm thinking of getting a nitro RC, but where do you buy them? I'm also trying to build a drift type, eletric or gas, which is better? Whats the pros and cons about them because I really dont know.

[gravygreg]

good place for any type or rc is modelsport dot com and i wud suggest electric for drifting, as nitro's go so fast the spin out all the time electrics still go fast but not as fast. electric cars are more reliable aswell.

[yamahamike500]

Shinexrythme you can get themf rom your local hobby sho or ebay i prefer ebay becuase hobby shop is high when you buy it new it's basicly stock give me a message i'll talk more about them to you.... I am good with them :D

[BLADE69906]

You should try gunning it full around the turns instead of pulsing...if its tuned nicely it should peel out on the turn and make the drift more tight in the corner.

[RCrider07]

hey man nice drifting but what did you put in the cars for that stage d tires and shoks? and what else did you do?

[hefferm]

See below for tyres. Shocks - put in a higher grade silicon to keep it pretty stiff. Everything else - is stage D (if it is possible to buy) and where it isn't - it is modified. nitrodrifters . com under media has more images / vids.

[neonknight96]

how long do drift tryes last and do u have to glue them on to the rims becuase the guys at rc hobbies said u dont

[hefferm]

HPI Stage D compound rubber drift tyres used. HPI part #34502(back set) & #34501 (front set). Tyres last about 15 - 20 tanks.

[hefferm]

And YES - you do have to glue them on. If you don't - they come off. But hey - try it if you want, and see what happens.

[neonknight96]

hay revo kid i just bought the evo 3 + and its really great car to blast around the place with. i bought drift tryes instead of the stage d kit and it still drifts but hard to contol because the back tends to swing out alot

[revoskid32]

dude i love your vids man ur great at drifting!

[neonknight96]

do u have to lock the diff

[hefferm]

It makes drifting control a lot better if you do. If you don't, it will generally drift one way better than the other

[neonknight96]

what percent nitro are u using and are you using the stage d kit on those rs4 evos

[hefferm]

RB WSIII .21, running 25% nitro - Full stage D kit. Stage D rubber compound drift slicks, permanently locked diffs (manual mod - liquid cement)

[neonknight96]

what sort of tyres are u using

[a044444a]

verey speeeeeeeeeeed car

[F47H4N]

the lambo looks wicked av got a lambo hpi nitro car but my shell is orange

[lamar171]

damn these RC r crazy this video is dope i give you propz

[msgpv]

what is best HPI RS4 3 EVO+ or traxxas 4tec 3.3???

[hefferm]

I have only used an Evo 3 - but to date, have not seen anything that drifts as good as these, or anything with as many available drift hop up parts

[teamhex]

yes rajdiPL there electric...thats why they are blowing smoke and making such a loud sound...no there nitro powered...and BTW you dont need the Stage D to drift those cars

[hefferm]

You do need a stage d if you want to do it properly though. Drifted this car as a std RS4 - with a stage D, it was a completely different story.

[RajdiPL]

are these cars electric?

[brownballer4lyf]

looks pretty fly, good job

[TMAXXPUNISHER]

also, that mustang shelby body is awsome

[TMAXXPUNISHER]

drifting in real cars is retarted, now its come to Rc cars too? thoes motors cant possible last very long running like that. probaly stalled cause they got too hot.

[hefferm]

Probably did mate - but it is still going hard after 8 months, isn't it? Have you even tried drifting in a real car or R/C? Until you do - suggest you stick to your tmaxx trucks.

[TMAXXPUNISHER]

if i felt like ruining my engine and tires i could do it EASILY. its more throttle control that anything. and i seriously doubt any nitro engin can take 8 months of hot stalling. sorry "mate"

[hefferm]

Doubt all you like. It is still going strong. As suggested - if you haven't experienced it, you don't really know, do you? While your opinions are welcome, at least make them informed as opposed to guessing. Also - RB engines are some of the toughest engines on the market - although, i doubt you have run them either.....

[revoskid32]

i have a revo and that hurt my feelings ='( but im thinking of gettin the evo + is it worth it if i just wanna drive and drift sometime(i dont wanna put money into the stage d...or atleast not yet)

[aussiedrifter93]

Looks harder to do then electric drifting. How long do you get out of a motor reving like that.

[hefferm]

Have been drifting this RB engine for about 8 months now with no issues. RB engines are worth their weight in gold though....

[whi0019]

the drift tires are on eBay search drift tires the white ones

[cant1262528]

i dont ge tit people are saying that what a but ur engine .. w/e i drift my NTC3 all the time it never gives me any probles and the only thing i changed on like so far is the gear (for more speed) and it still drifts nicely

[hefferm]

I only speak english. I will be happy to answer your query if you write it in english.

[cant1262528]

wtf i did right my question in english .. u now what just forget it

[hefferm]

"wtf i did right my question in english .. u now what just forget it " I presume this means you think you did write in english?

[dannyhaddon]

Ive done nitro drifting before with my rs4 evo, Ppl used to say that electric was the best for low end, i know thats rubbish now ive had ago with electric and nitro, id prefer nitro. no way would you blow an engine, i modified the ports on my t-15 before and it blew my crank bearing after a good race. but thats to be expected,im now moddin a 18 engine to drift with, uve gotta lock them diffs though.

[hefferm]

Yes - i agree. Nitro drifting is done at more than twice the speed of the standard elec drifting - and is more challenging to keep the car going where you want it to. Locked diffs are a must. We locked those diffs permanently - so it a whole new diff if they go, but if you lock one wheel - the others cannot spin at all - fused etc.

[dan12r]

hey man ive got a hpi RS4 3 evo and im buying the stage d drift set up for it... thats all cool though i was just wondering if anyone knew how to lock those diffs together?? i understand its probably simple as ... just havent pulled them apart to see yet??

[hefferm]

try either blutack - or a plastic adhesive. Much better option than ordering a locker diff for $170!!

[alexulyate]

nitro drifting because the wheels spin so easy it wears out your engine real quick. thats why if i drift i drift with elertic

[alexulyate]

i was going to drift with my hpi rs4 3 evo but it stuffs your engine

[hefferm]

Very funny. That's like saying I was going to run, but it makes you sweat. To drift, you need a good understanding of engine tuning and car setup - or you will blow rings etc. You simply set your mix a little richer. If you stuff your engine - you shouldn't be driving it. A decent understanding of RC engines will get you by.
