Practice on sunday will be bumped ahead an hour early. 1130 am or make it when u can. Want to set up for us to practice tandem. We need to lock this down before drifting on a course. Bring your chairs. Or whatever makes u comfortable.
So no then I take it lol? When you use the shut up or zip it emoticon people will take you as being an ass. What is wrong with just answering someones question? We dont act like that on this forum. I see where you guys are meeting and know there is nowhere there to run a Touge or Toge style race is why I asked. It looked to me like you had the common American misconception that drifting and toge are the same thing. Here is some info you might want to take in before lashing out at anyone else on a subject you don't completely understand. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C5%8Dge Stemming from this surge in popularity, the term has been pirated and misused by overzealous enthusiasts (often incorrectly as a verb) to erroneously describe almost any event involving street racing, even when there are no mountain passes involved. Another common mistake is the association of drifting with tōge, implying at times that the words share the same definition. While drift is considered a style or form of driving, tōge does not necessarily have any binding relationship to motorsports. Drifting can be used on the tōge to prevent the chaser from following their proper line. For example if the lead car were to drift, it would eliminated about 60 percent of the chaser's possible lines forcing them to choose slower lines that cannot be predicted. Also in doing this one can cause the chaser to slow down in order not to crash into the drifting car in front, which might cause complications due to keeping rpm's high and traction and all other variables to consider in slowing down for a corner. Tōge in Time trial format could be said to be a subset of Tarmac Rally. With the Rallye Monte Carlo and Tour de Corse demonstrating the parallel, separated only by cultural heritage.
ur correct,we are not racing up or down hills,but we are trying to keep as close to one another as possible.so in a sense we are running toge style, just no hills! by the way the explanation you posted is awesome!
Thanks. That was the type of answer I was looking for. I was a little curious how you guys were doing things and setting up course. Tandem drifting is pretty cool once you get 2 drivers that are super good it looks like the cars are attached to each other around the track.
Careful. Highland there has almost every type of Rc as do I. Some of us like to be very " correct and to the point". We like to educate everyone and make sure things are correctly stated. Look over the debates all over the Internet about lipos and the misrepresentation about them because people used the wrong wording.
I figured since you keep using the term somewhat incorrectly I would give you the definition to help. no attitude really just like everyone to have the correct and same info. I have no problem reading between lines when someone makes it very clear they have an attitude and are being unnecessary a smart ass to people asking questions. Last I knew you (or any of us) don't own any section of the forum and we are all welcome to post in any topic we please. You had been posting your guys gtgs as drift meets before and when i saw the title change I was interested as that style of racing is more interesting to me and DID have me thinking to bring my junk out and drive with you guys. But instead of just answering a simple question you cop an attitude and resort to acting like a child. That is the kind of answers i expect from my 6 year old not adults on the forums. Because my screen my screen name has the word crawler in it i see you assume that is all i have ever owned or know anything about. Well your very mistaken my friend. I have or have owned pretty much 1 of everything rc in my time except 1/5 scale, 1/8 buggy, and multirotor. I currently have boats ,helis, planes, on and off road racers in both 2 and 4wd and even a custom drifter solid axle hilux truck. I have attended real drift comps/meets and have some real drifter friends who actually came from Japan and have taught me very much about their sport and culture . Just because I don't fill the drift section with posts does not make me ignorant of the topic. I don't post in there mainly because you annoyed my previously when i had posted in joebollinger35's topic some general suspension tuning tech for everyone. It was some good general suspension explanations with brief explanations. You replied back saying that basically the common knowledge info i posted was wrong because of what you learned playing Gran turismo5. You went on to tell everyone how positive camber is good to run for looks and performance. That let me know you didn't have a real understanding of suspension and how it works in real life. I don't care what video games have taught you, positive camber is not used in drifting hardly ever that I have ever seen nor any other vehicle I can think of other that the rear of an old Volkswagen with its swing axle suspension. A lot of full size cars may have a very minute bit of positive camber up front during alignment but nothing you can visually see really. If you run positive camber on any lowered car you are going to dive the wheels into the wheel wells in most cases. That is why you see most drifters and a lot of tuner cars running a lot of NEGATIVE camber. It allows the contact patch to be fuller as the car corners and allows the wheels to tuck up in the fenders better and not catch the lip causing punctures and irregular handling. Where needed they may run a little less negative but still run on the negative side. That whole thing annoyed me and i removed my post and stopped sharing or contributing in the drift section. I figure if you wanted to share misinformation and have others follow it albeit. Then i made the mistake of thinking i should blow that off and come and drive with you guys if you were doing something that really interested me. So I ask a simple question and who reply with a smart ass answer.......... the same guy that annoyed me before. So yes you did piss me off a little with your comments. I appreciate the apology and that shows me you might not be a bad guy after all That takes a decent person out of you in my eyes. As im sure you are aware now I just get annoyed very easy. Thats why i don't go on other forums much anymore and just hang out here
