Im now an official team driver for @crue_rc_drift_international and its been a while since I've been to driftwerk. 
.
Trying some new things, incl. Low setting on the highmount and going back to chrome wheels from high traction ones. 
.
The low setting wasnt bad, still need to iron out a couple things but I think I can definitely make it work!
.
The chrome wheels have surprised me a little, haven't ran them in a long time since I was running the @buzzbreak_jp r-spec wheels and haven't felt a loss in grip or speed! Time to get more style points!
.
My hypothesis was that if your wheelspeed is dailed (on concrete), high traction wheels shouldn't be a big of a difference and suprise, it didnt. Only felt a slight loss in side grip but nothing major. 
Going to try the @weld_overdose xsa04c and vskf wheels next since they are a much harder material than the @topline_moritan ssr Minerva and ssr formula aero spoke.

Always a pleasure driving with @p.sushko_rc 
So many good laps with this guy!!!

Going to a new track and dont know how to get doors with the locals?

Decided not to make a video instead doing a detailed post. 
Full setup breakdown coming to YouTube if you guys want it.

Dm's  are always open if you guys have questions

RC Drift 101: Wheelspeed first 
.
Before anything else (assuming your alignment's already dialed), get your wheelspeed right, nothing else matters until this is sorted. Not doing burn tunes here since I don't have tire/surface access for that.
.
Getting outrun on exit, or can't hold someone's door? That's too much wheelspeed. Start with your FDR,  drop 1-2 teeth on the pinion and test until you cant anymore.
If that doesn't fix it, try going up instead. Sounds backwards, but it can actually help throttle feel, especially on bigger tracks.

Exit speed feels good but you're losing ground before the next corner? Check your boost timing next. It could be that you are already at the upper end of your throttle range, so add some boost to give yourself a bigger range. Start with 15°. If you run boost-by-throttle, fine-tune the % where you lose grip and pull boost back there.
.
Make sure the ramp up isnt too high or you will overspin the tyres and loose speed.
.
Start power and punch also make a difference so try some things with that.

Motor timing is a set it and forget it.
Between 20 and 30 is a safe spot for most tracks.

Alignment matters too. Servo/gyro too but thats specific to the driver and brand so a little difficult to explain in a post.
.
Front 
Make sure that your leading wheel is flat on around 45-50° to start with. For higher angle stability, less caster to get that full contact on higher angles.
.
I run 11° camber, 8 caster and 3°kpi
Very stable on higher angles. Dont forget the ackermann, check the next slide
.
Rear
Most of the times, adjusting rear Camber if beneficial, some tracks like more and some less, starting at -1° and go down if needed. Test a few things out. I normally trest, 1°, 3° and 6°. choose the best one after a couple runs.

Ackermann is often setup wrong.
.
I have seen far too many with the lead wheel at full lock while the trailing wheels sits at 45° and they ask why it doesn't drive good.
