Is the machine for drift large or small?
The word "drift", which appeared in the lexicon of Russianlovers of fast driving not so long ago, indicates the passage of sharp turns at maximum speed, while in real races the machines intentionally breaks off the rear axle. In total, drift distinguishes several styles - from Manga (show performances) to Kanteria (the passage of S-shaped turns), Power over drift (work on excess capacity of the machine), breakdown drift (with braking) and other styles.
To successfully master this for the most partsports discipline needs a powerful machine for drift with rear-wheel drive. They install engines of this kind to develop the maximum power at high speeds. For example, 6-cylinder in one row, 2.5-2.6 liters with turbo mode, the SR20 (or 25) series DET, RB25DET, 2JZ-GTE, etc.
The drift machine must have a suspension systemrigid, shortened springs, as well as thick and rigid stabilizers. The front wheels have a negative camber (3 degrees - optimally). Drives of drifting machines are selected on the principle of - strong grip for the front axle, and good grip while sliding for the rear axle. A drift machine with a large capacity (from 400 hp) requires special sports tire, which is quite expensive. Therefore, hard, cheap tires are usually used for training.
Drifting is a dangerous sport, soa number of car racing enthusiasts prefer that instead of them, a radio-controlled drift car should be chased along the highway. Such "toys" are not exactly cheap - the price for them is from 3.5 to 8.5 thousand rubles.
Machine on the radio for drift should also have certaincharacteristics. First, it's better if it's a machine with a scale of 1:10, because it is these models that behave like real cars. Secondly, it certainly should be all-wheel drive. Thirdly, the engines of machines must be electrical. In the market there are a number of models designed for drift. These include FSP Fliyng Fish1, TT-01 Drift Spec, Tamiya TB-03D Drift Spec and others.
Before the competition or show caris configured precisely for such a route. It is worn special hard rubber, the suspension is adjusted to the negative camber from the front, rigid springs are installed, if necessary. For machines produced specifically for drift, these plants can be produced at the factory. In addition, many models of this plan copy the known drift-models in terms of the body, some external parts (for example, headlights or electronics, highlighting individual parts of the car).
The key to successful drift as a real machine,and on the radio-controlled model, is the skill of the driver. It is believed that the greater the angle that the driver was able to hold during the controlled drift, the higher his skill, and, consequently, the higher the judges' score and the recognition of the spectators.
