All,
I will be out of town next week and can't join. let me know when the next
meeting will be and I can bring our car for you guys to drive. Sounds like you
got the right plan for parts though.
A side note on drifting, it led to many accidents at the race we went to. A
guy brought an almost stock pink jeep with the big remote control plane
electric motors and the standard plastic wheels, the thing did circles every
turn and caused a few wrecks. No one complained but he did just get in the
way. If you can control the drift it could be fun and other drivers would just
adapt to you style, but you'd probably still cause a few wrecks.

That video is great. Love the crazed yelling as he guns it towards the camera
person. The vehicle in the vid is an example of a stock power wheel drivetrain,
wheels, and tires with another battery added in series for 24v. Stock wheels
are in fact hard plastic. You would need a lot of torque to overcome the
friction of rubber tires as you pointed out but that kind of power is heavy and
not cheep. I was just trying to provide a fun idea that would be economical.
I was watching video of these races last night and apparently I am not the
first to think of this. It probably is not worth doing for the competition if
it is not an original idea, but I still maintain that it would be most fun. See
black car in this video. The guy spinning out all the time and at one point
executing a perfect drift that they slowed the camera for is the car.

Don't get me wrong this is a horrible idea for a general race car. It would
take lots of practice to learn to counter-steer properly. Drifting is an
inefficient way to go around a turn.

You kids and your drifting... You'r doing it wrong! What you need is more
power, not plastic slippy wheels.
