Hey,

anyone know anything about this mod? Check the link. The mod somehow gives you a bit more of a rear wheel drive effect allowing the tail to slide out easier.
Here's a vid. It looks quite cool. And it makes the cars look more like the real thing.

cant access youtube here at the office but im guessing its an overdrive conversion, were in your rear wheels spins more than your front wheel to make the slides much more easier bounce

Countersteer (overdrive) mods are applicable to mostly belt driven kits.
I might be giving this a try very soon. +D

you are right josh... its ONLY applicable to belt drive kits as you can change the pulley gears to either front or rear but for our case (drifting), we can replace the rear pulley gears to higher teeth than the front thus creating an overdrive. make sure also that you have one way differential gear on the front so as not to stress the front tires as they will not rotate at the same speed

thanks guys. too bad I've got a shalft driven car. Is it possible to change the size of the front diff gears in any way though?

I'm not sure if there are any available sizes for the diff sir ashyy.

Another problem that a shafty might face is that the shaft itself will experience a lot of tension.
It's because the shaft will spin the rear diff 'tighter' than the front diff.
So it's almost close to impossible to do overdrive a shafty.

i think they dont have and even if they do, it will not fit inside the gearbox as each kit have there own sizes of diff gears. :albino:

Pulleys will most probably be 100% compatible.
