Default Use off-road chassis for on road/drift?

I'm in the process of resurrecting my classics and the one car I can't figure out a route to go is my Tamiya Stadium Blitzer. I have an off-road bruiser truck, an off road "race" truck, an on-road 4wd ride, and then there's the Blitzer. I was thinking of doing a drift car for fun but definitely don't want to buy another car.

So if I put some slicks on this thing would it be drift-able or should I just keep it as an off-road car?<br type="_moz" />

I would ask the drifters people in the UK or Malyasia about that. I wouldn't bother if I couldn't lower my ride height to around 5mm. You would want to eliminate as much of the chassis roll as possible, since it is way too much vs a tamiya touring car.

I just rebuilt my drift car, as long as you can drop the chassis down to about 5 mm or 6 tops, you should be okay. i mean you could drift with a higher chassis ofcourse, but It would most likely flip alot of the time, But as long as it is all wheels drive and has slicks you should be fine.

nice! I ordered an IS300 body for my TA02 - the problem is I can't find wheels so that I can make it look like my actual car!

Thanks for the comments - once I get my other cars to where I'm happy with them I'll see what the future holds for the blitzer
