So I've been reading that many people like 98mm bodies on their AWDs, even for drift. 94mm bodies seem to be rather popular as well.
What's your favorite? I ran the 2F2F Lancer EVO VIII for the last drift series here (shipped cross country from Saiyan), and I won every race I got to compete in. Didn't win the series, but I think I'd have taken it if I could actually stay for the mains.
I personally prefer 90mm bodies for drift, I like to be able to swing the car in one hand motion, then steer with the throttle. Less time wasted correcting.
Competitive 1/28 RC drifting? Faze, I hear my calling.
As for bodies, Lionblade, 90mm ones are nice. I used to run a highly modified Xmod with an Impreza shell, they're very light and you can flick them anywhere.
But the 98mm crowd has its reasoning too, you can set the rear to stay very loose, flick the car into the turn, but maintain the stability of a long wheelbase. I currently run an M3 GTR body, very light and very long, makes the angle quite noticeable-- totally necessary because I drift an 02.
I like to drift my 02 on Vinyl floors. with the propper throttle control and the right tires, I can drift it about 6 feet. but tend to loose it when i try to switch to the other direction.
