Inthis video we take that same 1100 hp Supra from the gear tuning example and turn it into a drifting beast. The unique thing about make drift tunes with ForzaTune is that they are stable. Most times we can keep nearly full throttle and only worry about steering. And when the back end is coming around too much you can simply ease off of the throttle briefly.
Alignment, camber is good for drift, adjust to your liking. Caster helps steering lock
(rotates the wheel/changes active amount of camber) but the wrong combo will feel very twitchy and unresponsive in small amounts.
Ride Height, low ride height = tight spring compression. High ride height = soft spring compression.
Try either a slightly higher front end or higher rear end and then adjust Springs/Damping to fit with the ride height,
with correct Damping/Spring stiffness either of these can be a good choice.
Spring Stiffness, depends on preference. I like a stable car,
but it helps if the springs can be a little springy/spongy for hard corners at high speeds.
(make the rear less stiff then front springs but keep the front just loose enough to turn easily at high speed on an incline)
Anti-Roll Bars takes time to get just right. Putting the rear higher = less body roll, more sensitive acceleration and more stability, too much can make you spin out.
Putting the front higher = tighter steering/movement at high speeds but tightening too much can make steering too fast.
Brakes/Brake Balance also very important but is somewhat personal preference.
I put it a bit towards Rear Brakes (which FH4 treats as front) with less pressure for more accurate angle.
Anti-Roll Bars takes time to get just right, putting the rear higher means faster wheelspin, more sensitive acceleration but less traction. putting the front higher means quicker steering/movement at high speeds but can make you spin out if too much.
So I encourage you to find someone who would teach you how to do a simple tune that is drift viable and let you be able to change different settings that might be too extreme for you and you can either harder or soften a setting to get it to drift like you want.
I recently brought a Traxxas Rally Ken Block vxl and loving sliding it about the tarmac and remembered seeing a street setup on a Slash 4x4 somewhere but can't remember what tyres/wheels fitted? plus what else I might need to do? I would like the car to slide alot but still have a some traction when needed like My Ken Block which has slicks.
I will order some 17mm hex adaptors from usa as cheaper and im in no rush. Hopefully someone else that has tested this will suggest some tyres? I'm looking for the thread I found a couple of months ago on another forum of a awesome looking Road Slash 4x4 which he said drifted and drove really nicely. I'm not after a full drifter setup more of a Ken block setup.
I think these Traxxas Anaconda tyres/wheels will fit and wonder how good they will be on tarmac? I'm using 3s lipo with the vxl setup so hopefully enough power to get them spinning enough and sliding around?
Really surprised by that!! I havent tryed it but will 1 day as have tons of electrical tape lying about. I went ahead and ordered the anacondas to give them a go. I like the look they give and might wear more slowly than if I use my standard Ultimate tyres which I can save for dirt. Now I need to sort out slamming the Slash to the ground and giving it a firm ride without to much suspension travel. But also be able to fairly easily jack it up for at the local skatebowls for some serious airs. Any ideas? I'm assuming i might need to cut some springs down and put some hose pipe in or something to stop alot of travel?
you wont need todo anything to the shocks they will lose all there oil soon enough as the standard shock really suck on traxxas mini`s. but you could try heavier oil something like 80 or 90 weight. i use 100 weight in my merv so i basicly have no travel on the front which is good for cornering but still can wheely
Being what is perhaps the fastest growing motorsport, Drifting is getting ever popular on the grassroots level. Although your local drift day can sometimes attract hundreds of enthusiastic beginning drifters the scene is lacking for a large part even a basic knowledge of how to properly set up a car for drifting.
Although we do some extreme high dollar secret tricks on the pro cars, the grassroots drifter can get 80% of the way there by getting the basics right. Proper basic setup will make the car easier to handle in drift and speed your learning curve. Unlike most grassroots motorsports, many people in the drift scene are seemingly oblivious on how to make their cars work better, being more conservative with things like stance, ride height and flushness as the street lifestyle aspect of drift culture is very strong.

I beat the drift king with the Sivia S15 but then used his RX7, so any light weight rear wheel drive car with a bit of power would be good. Have level two NOS as well and do some NOS grifts. (extra 100 points) Tune wise you would want high start boost and more accleration than top end.
The viper srt10 works well make the suspension stiff, high tire presure, maxed nitrous flow and jetting rate, high brake pressure, and leave gear ratios the same
The zonda is a good car, just buy all the parts
All these guys are all are all wrong. The best car is the 69 camaro. Belive it or not there is a thing called the one way drift. How it works is you drift slowly to one side of the track. To do that you need to have your assists on casual, this is very important cause it will keep you from going off the track. Keep all of your power upgrades as high as they can go, but keep all of your handling upgrades as low as they can go(stage one). Now try to keep your speed at about 30-35 mph, by holding the hanbreak and gas at the same time. But you should get yourself up to speed first. Remember it's a drift for points and not to be the first one to the finish line. So you can back up to get yourself a running start so you can start your drift sooner. If you find yourself having trobles doing this, go into the options and turn everythin off in all of the race modes, except drift put you trans to manual and use third or fourth gear. With all of this you can score high points on all tracks, one example is lipzig. Im scoring 60000-67000 points on one of the tracks there. Dont expect that your first try your going to be able to do that. You will problable score closer to 35000-50000. Remember to try both sides of the track to see where you get more points. And remember practice makes perfect!
WAIT I Think A Muscle is NOT Good For Drifting and The Only Best Car for Drag Races And Cornering You Better Use The Silvia and For you Turn Drifts Better Use The E46 or Solstice GXP ( if you Have it ) You Better Use The AE86 ( I Think So )
Drifting is all about personal style. What car suits me may not suit others. I use the nissan 350z. Any rear wheel drive car pretty much works but try sticking to imports, they give better results. And when you tune your ride, have a low tire pressure for your front wheel and a high pressure for your rear wheel. Leave a loose setting for the steering and the spring settings should slightly be on the stiffer side but not too much, just slightly away from the default locations. The rear springs slight stiffer than the front. Keep the rollbars to the softer side and a low ride height. Adjust the power accordingly so that you have a good acceleration and keep the brakes rear biased. That should pretty much do it.
To an extent, this doesn't matter too much. The game allows for a tremendous amount of customisation and upgrading, and part of the fun can be modding a London taxi cab into a drag race rocket, or a camper van into an S1-class rally car.
However, it's useful to narrow it down if you want to get the most out of each class. This page covers out picks for the best cars in a variety of categories - from the best S1 and A classes to drift and drag types - as well as, of course, our fastest car in Forza Horizon 4 pick.
Trying to work this out yourself is part of the fun. We encourage you to explore the huge range of cars available, to find cars that suit your driving style - or that you just like the look of - and adapt them to your needs.
That said, some situations require something more specific, while for the Online Adventure and ranked multiplayer modes, you'll need to have a good all-rounder car in each of the game's performance classes. So we've come up with some recommendations for you below.
For each one, we've chosen a car that is relatively easy and inexpensive to get in the game, and also suggested a tuning set-up to download from the community which will optimise the car for the task at hand.
