Drifting, had to try it out....my new build!!

Well, poor blistered fingers. You were right to boil the tires. It's really the easiest way to get them on the rims. You can try putting the rims into the freezer to enable easier fitting next time. The tires you use are good but might be too grippy to enable a nice drift. Check your LHS if they have either the HPI T-Drifts or Tamiya Super Driftech. Both are good for concrete grounds.

Yeah, those look way to grippy.
I used cheapo Sushi's, were SO much easier to put on, I ended up selling the TDrifts because I went to hell, back and then back to hell at least twice trying to put ONE on, I gave up and gave em away for free.

the cheapo sushi's are available on fleabay.
Just look up Sushi Drift

It's like 3 sets (It's just cut up ABS pipes) for a few bucks!
