Marc's Take
The right surface completely changed my mind.
The linked review features the Mustang-bodied 4-Tec Drift. What changed my mind was how controllable that platform became on a smooth floor with the right tires.
- Get the tires and surface working together. On a smooth floor, the standard approach felt surprisingly controllable. Outdoor asphalt called for a different tire and setup in my testing.
- Enjoy the standard setup first. I found myself making the car worse by chasing app adjustments before understanding how it was meant to drive.
- Precision before extra power. For me, the appeal was placing the car accurately through a small drift course, not simply increasing motor speed.
An alternative wheel-and-tire set discussed in the Mustang-platform video: Tamiya Type D drift tires and wheels; match the tire choice and setup to your surface and confirm body clearance.
My take: a very appealing introduction to drifting when the tires, surface and setup suit one another.
