In your "User Submitted RC Drift Chassis Setups" I feel that there needs to be another category. You have countersteer setups, and 50/50, but no rwd section. Either the countersteer section needs to be broken into awd cs, and rwd cs or just add a rwd area as well.
section created for the brave
Thanks I just see it coming up and being tested more and more. The Wrap Up next FR-D is looking promising for sure!
fr-d is just expensive for a conversion kit
What about a Work in Progress section for projects; So the RC Drift Bodies section will have a show section for just pictures and a project section for build threads. I always enjoy reading build threads and I don't like to sift through all bodyshell related topics to find them.

I had an idea for another forum section. Kinda off topic of R/C drifting but not drifting as a whole. I think the best way to explain the need is to tell a short story.
I got my introduction to drifting thru r/c drift. I had first seen drifting as little cars on white PVC pipe tires. Yes this was an SGdrifters video. After that vid it was kinda like an infection. It had got under my skin and the drift fever was coursing through my veins. The r/c drift videos were popping up from all over the world. I knew I had to get into this hobby. As I knew that money wise the real thing was just out of the question. I continued to scan youtube more and more. I started watching real drifting more and more. By this time I did not feel normal unless I was learning about r/c drifting and what equipment I needed. Yes I was full addicted and I haven't even a chassis to drift. Eventually I did find the right car to start with and really found joy in drifting at 1/10 scale! This did not totally satisfy me tho, and began looking for other ways to simulate drifting. I soon found myself browsing YouTube again. This time I found simrig drifting... As in drifting a computer game with a full cockpit. Yes steering wheel, shifter, ebrake, full peddle set, and a racing seat. Playing titles like rFactor, and Live For Speed. I was juiced to find this out, because it was yet another way to drift with out the cost, and I might say risk of life and limbs! Again doing my research I found that Gran Turismo 5 on the PlayStation 3, with a Logitech g25 was the lowest cost for me to get into this aspect of Sim drifting. Once again the urge to make your Sim experience more immersive kinda gets kinda crazy there are all kinds of cool gear to Simrace/drift out there. Right now I am saving up to buy the hardware needed to run gt5 on triple monitors. Yeah it gets pretty crazy what u can do.
The reason for all this talk about about Sim Drifting is I think an R/C Drift forum would be a good place to find guys that do both, r/c drift and sim drift. Would be cool to have online Sim drift comps with fellow r/c drifters.... I know I can't be the only one that r/c drifts and sim drifts.
Sounds good to me. Maybe wilke will see this lol
Cool I hope the story was good too.. I'm not much of a writer.
