Today, drift enthusiasts can breathe a sigh of relief. Now for this you do not need to spend a large amount of money on the purchase of a racing car, because there is a car on the remote control for drifting. And believe me, this is not only a toy for a child, it can interest any adult.
Drift Model
Guided skidding and sliding are very spectacular processes. They are able to gather quite a few fans around them. However, drift cars on the control panel has many nuances. It should be near the edge of the track at an incredible angle and move at high speed in order to get ahead of the rest of the race participants who follow it on the heels. Such an atmosphere captures not only pilots, but also the audience, who was going to look at it.
Basic drift techniques
- A slip that is performed with a breakdown of four wheels.
- Skid, which is used to pass S-shaped turns.
- Reception, when the car on the control panel for drifting slows down to enter a turn, and then rushes forward at high speed.
- Side glide when the rear wheels break off.
- Chokudori - the car slows down the slide and is set at such an angle as necessary to pass the turn.
- Manji - rocking the car from side to side. Usually, drifts are performed this way on cars on the control panel at demonstrations.
During skidding, you can fully squeeze the gas to enter the bend. You can press on the trigger slightly, but here you need to make sure that the skid is fully controllable.
Model customization
Any car on the remote control for drifting can be configured. After all, you can slide on any model, the main thing is that it be an all-wheel drive highway car. Most often, for this purpose, use a car with an electric motor, which is made on a scale of 1:10. It is such a car that behaves like a real one, and a set of batteries can work for more than half an hour. Today, the car on the remote control for drifting is created by many manufacturers. Among them are the HSP Flying Fish 1 and Tamiya TB-03D Drift Spec. As a rule, they differ from each other in suspension, rubber, shock absorbers and various accessories.
Any motorist can create his own model by himself
1. For a successful drift, it is necessary to choose the right rubber. Here you will need hard tires (for good glide on the road). For these purposes, you can use plastic bottles or PVC pipes.
2. In order for the front wheels to be in maximum contact with the road, and the rear to be minimal, the suspension must be correctly set up. The degree of camber in the front should be -4, and the back should be 0.
3. Torque is very important in drifting. Therefore, so that the motor does not overheat, and the wheels turn easily, it is necessary that the gear ratio be at least 1: 7.
4. Driving must be practiced. It is first necessary to ride on a flat stretch of track, turning the steering wheel in different directions. You must learn to feel the moment when the wheels lose their grip. After you can practice cornering.
Only after all the moments have been mastered, you can begin to enter the car into the drift.
