How do the 7's keep up in the drifting or are all the cars pretty equal?

They are harder to drift than any S body. Much more grip and pivot around the center vs the front wheels (on a S body).

thats a pretty good explanation, IMO.

i find that among myself and other drifters (in s-chassis's) of the same skill level, the FC seems to a little quicker around the track. I usually have a little less angle but the difference in speed is noticeable. I think this is because of what burtoncr said. the car pivots around the center of the car rather than the front. i seems like a more 4 wheel drifting than other s chassis's. even when i pull off the track my front tires are usually pretty gummy and feathered like I have been sliding on them. And I wasn't understeering. meanwhile, my buddies s chassis front tires look the same as when he started.

Original streering output :-) The wing is gone as you can see in the wet-car photo! (screwed the sideskirts during training on the track, so I took it off together with the wing).

haha yeah i'm sorry about that, i'm new to the forum, well forums in general. i didn't mean to post it here.

so you can weld a limited slip dif> cause i saw somewhere that you can't. and you don't lose acceleration?

you can only weld a open diff, not a lsd cuz ther are no spider gears in an lsd diff. and it wont make you any slower.
