It looks as if they got like pvc pipe over the wheels or some other thin plastic. Its like on rc cars, u put pvc or abs pipe on the rims and it will drift as it has like 0 traction. This would be wicked! It doesnt require much power either so i might be able to do it with my 2.5hp. When the kart is build i might try make some, it looks awesome and so much fun to do!

Its like putting Mcdonalds trays under the rear tires on your car and putting the E-Brake on! I have to make another cart...

i hear duct tape works

Duct tape would work but would rip apart after 2 mins or so. Also u would have to do like 5 layers on each tire so thats like a whole role of duct tape on 4 tyres. Better to get big pvc pipe thats a bit smaller than the wheel, deflat ur tires, slip it on then pump up ur tires so it really grips the pvc. That should work well.

Gotta try this! Looks like stupid fun!

that looks VERY fun. The only real way to drift is to actually have enough power to break em loose and keep em loose.

That looks veeeeery fun! I do agree that the only way to drink and drift, or just drift for that matter is to have enough power to break em loose. And i can do it, but I have significantly reduced my tires lives by doing so. and the bridgestone slicks arent cheap! but hey! thats why i have a go kart so I dont do it in my car!!!!

But it does look like a LOT of fun! and with the PVC, it will save your tires!

Your telling me! Tire's to replace on my race car are $130 each without shipping.

Yeas but your gonna have to buy in a 10foot chunk that will cost more than your kart.

Whatever works! Go in the day and ask if they have any scrap.
