I just recently got a sprint 2 and I can't get used to the awd drifting. I drift a 1:1 car so I keep trying to incorporate those techniques into this but it's very different. I want to go rwd with this chassis but I've had people try to talk me out of it because of steering angle or oversteering. So has anyone here done the rwd conversion. If so what mods do you recommend, front engine? Anything for extra angle? And also what pulley do you run, right now I have a 18t rear pully with a locked diff. Thanks for the help guys!

I heard the having a front one way diff helps alot on the sprint 2
I'm currently working on one. Working on a few parts that should be available to help with the process in the coming months.

Kind of. Basically like an e-brake effect, just helps initiate a drift. Basically just keeps front wheels spinning at same rate and inside from spinning backwards during drift.
Some people find it helpful, others find it annoying.

So I did a few things to add some angle and pulled my front axles while I was at it, also added weight to the front. now driving around my house (tile floor) feels like I'm driving on ice, I'm oversteering and understeering wayy to much, like I can barely drive in a straight line. Do rwd cars run more grippy tires than awd? Driving on this tile is almost impossible

A gyro will help you immensely. Most RWD drifters use a gyro to some extent. I know RWD guys use tires with more grip, so you could try that as well.

So I just picked up a gyro and it is wayyy more controllable. I'd like to possibly turn down the throttle sensitivity and mabey get some softer tired. But it's much better, time to get some practice in

I own a Sprint 2 Sport that I've converted to an AWD drift car and it drifts so much easier than my AWD and RWD Sakura D4. Mine has an aluminum chassis, and some other hopups here and there. The set up is pretty much stock, though. It's a 50-50 but it slides so nicely.
