I will take some photos for you Glac I don't drive them anymore they have just been sitting packed away but I will fetch them. Yeah those petrol prices are ridiculous!! at least in australia they're not as bad as that yet.. the thing with RC cars is they don't run on stock standard car petrol, they run on nitromethanol, and depending on the percentage of the nitromethane in it a litre of RC fuel can cost up to $30AUD. That's crazy prices definitely not as cheap as electricity though of course! And having 3 batteries would be definitely the way to go.

Until i post up the pics here's some links to the ones I have

Sounds good man, allready decided what tires you gonna drift on?

If it's electric, it's probably best to go with custom made tyres, I've seen guys use pvc piping. They're super smooth so it's easy to spin the wheels and drift. With a nitro powered one it doesn't matter cos it's got the horsepower (all whopping 1.5 of them lol)

Yeah i drifted my electric on PE tires (little bit softer than PVC) which basically looked like this:

Needs a little effort to find in the right size though..
But if you're going to drift on a nice flat concrete floor, then some nice looking tires like these will do
Looks a bit more realistic imo, and they are a lot easier to find
