      if you want to drift either do a dual-cell mod or buy a 3.0 motor, and put harder tyres on the front so there is less chance of spinning…

      even with all those mods it is very hard to drift a bit becos of the lack of power and the size of the car, maybe with 4 cells

      You could pick up the Tomy Setting parts set it comes with a plastic rear drift wheel. Also Hot Wheels Kit Racers have drift wheels. I have the MPH/KPH and the Energi. The MPH/KPH has front drift wheels that with modification could go onto a bit:approve: as does the RPM?? I think? Good luck and good drifting.

      i heard from my hobby shop that Tomy does not make 3.0 motors. wut company makes 3.0 that work on Bit Char-G?

      use hard tires and use your fastest motor to test to see if your bit can drift attempt to do a j tune by holding the reverse 3 seconds then press a turn button the QUICKLY push the opposite direction to compltet the j turn/ 180′ tune. if i can, your car should be able to drift 😀

      the drift axle is a waste of time and money, all u do is donuts, even with hard tires and evry c0mbo u can think of.

      tomy DO make a 3.0 motor, but it is under the bit racer name, but works perfectly on bit char-gs, contact bit_charg_oz@hotmail.com if ur after one.

      Get on some nie polished floors and u can do some nice drift with bigger motors 😀

      My best attempt so far was my Initial D chassis with 2.6 motor, original medium Bit tyres on the front and the Hard Nano Racer tyres on the rear.

      Shypo, the dual cell bit has ample power to do drifts. The best combo on a smoothe floor is SOFT tyres on the rear and HARD tyres on the front. This only works with a dual cell chassis.

      If life is a waste of time, and time is a waste of life, then let’s get wasted and have the time of our lives!!

      the car is still too small tho to do compelete and proper drifts time after time on any surfac,e u can get a small amount of drift sumtimes or a little bit of decentsy with a dual cell but no1 can get proper controlled drifts everytime.

      Initial D is the s**t. I am a huge fan of anime in general, and a car nut, so I get the best of both worlds! As far as drifting, I have been able to hold a drift for about a foot before spinning out. If there was a way to reduce the turning radius, it might be easier to hold the drift for longer. It’s too easy to oversteer with such a small wheelbase.

      you could make the steering radius bigger with a stronger spring or weaker coils…..

      I do not want to answer this question because i am still recovering from the weekend and i will probably get in trouble for getting it wrong but yeah i think if you were to unwind a few loops off the coil it would most likely cause the coil to be weaker…DONT QUOTE ME THO…lol..um yeah i think maybe if you want to start messing with your coils get out the old physics text book and start working that length.current vs force formula….

      Modifying the spring is probably a better bet. Adding a second or third spring might help. Or perhaps making a stiffer onw.

      The risk with modifying the coils is that they may unravel all together or the might end up slightly different sizes which would make steering uneven.

      i wanted to add a second steering coil but i couldnt source one, if sum1 gets me one i’ll try it, or sum1 else can. jus to c the results
