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.

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
