Tire gel works good if you want to save tires… just cover the tread on the rear, takes a while to come off the tires if you wanna drift in the dry. Im starting to think having a tow rope/cable would be a good idea, and your drift buddies could pull you out when you are stuck off the road 8) Zipties are still number one… ---

**Spin Turn Knob.** But I swear, there’s gotta be a quick hack to this seeing as how it costs $20USD (I bet it prolly costs like $30-$40CAD after shipping and all). **Subframe spacers** Although you can get poly-urethane pieces from PDM, they’re rather expensive if you think about it. An alternative is to use large heavy duty washer, stack them together, and stick em in. This cheap mod will help reduce wheel-hop. ---

For spin turn knob, take out the spring in the handbrake so it doesnt lock automatically… and stick a screw in the end of it so you can pull it out to lock it… Its really easy, the cover over the ebrake just slides off… ---
