I've got a couple MST chassis, all set up completely different and drive completely different. However, the basic techniques of drifting are the same. The way I explained it to a new guy the other day apparently worked for him. All I did was tell him how do it and what I've seen. For me, getting the car to angle first is priority, and depending on how you're set up with Ackerman and suspension, your car may not like angle past a certain amount until you adjust the previous. Second, I "catch" the rear end from over-ro with the throttle, almost like how you catch a baseball or football (that's just me and how my brain works). Third is the hardest part and that maintaining that angle and speed through the throttle control. That's where practice and experience are the only teachers. At my track, I have no problem switching cars with someone. It's amazing to drive someone else's car and look like a total weeb, but you can drive your own car like a pro. I switched cars with that same guy and his set up drove just like mine, minus a few very minor tweaks. When he heard me say that and saw his car doing the same thing that I could do with mine, the look on his face was priceless. So I showed him with his own car, what where and how I was taking turns, and a little lesson in how grip works differently when drifting as opposed to a normal racing scenario. I kid you not, about 20 minutes later, we were doing tandems for complete laps and eventually he was right in the middle of the 5 car train that got going at one point. I only started doing this rc drift thing about 4 months ago, but I'm lucky enough to have had real world experience and knowledge in the area. I couldn't even do a donut around a shoe when I first started. Now, I'm someone that people ask questions to and I'm more than happy to share what I know because it only helps grow the scene. I hate it when people think that they have it all figured out or think that they have some big secret to it all and do not share it with beginners. I've only run into a couple people like that, but don't be like those people. Share your knowledge, share the track, grow the scene.
Experience is totally key here and the amount of time that is put on the remote come into play. I try to put myself in different scenarios, like my garage and my living and set up stuff to drift around. Its not much but it definitely helps me. I guess, my brain works almost like yours. It makes sense what your saying. And as far as those people who don't like to share their secrets, shame on them. They were there, in our shoes once before, a newbie. I have ran into a few people at tracks who don't want to share their knowledge or experience or are bothered that I was on the track. For the 99% of the people out there on the track, they are super cool and willing to help. Keep doing what you are doing and help the new guys, and KEEP RC FUN.
I was playing with the END POINTs on the remote and the wheels were not turning in all the way. so when i gave it throttle the gyro would over compensate and make me spin out. I reset the END POINTS to 100 and that made a huge difference. You can also try adjusting your gyro not to be so sensitive and lower it. I would start there if you are spinning out. Also, finesse the trigger, it does not take much to send it side ways. Good LUCK, man. And thanks for watching.
Hey man just came across this video and recently Ive experienced my car spinning out a little easier than before and Im wondering what you did or if you have any tips and improving that. Thanks!
Check your wheels and making sure they are spinning freely and are clean of debris. Then adjust your Gyro to a lower setting. Gradually increase it until it feels comfortable for you. I hope that helps.

Super helpful video, more please!
It's great to see tweaking and results videos like this!

What did you adjust to stop your rear end from spinning out ? Sorry couldn't here what you said thanx

Heyyyyy, where else can I find you so I can ask more questions and such?
