I have looked everywhere, and have had no luck at finding any really good drift settings for the savana RX-7. I've used the drift depot settings, and there crap. Ive used two other sets of settings, and no luck yet. Are there any really good FC drifters out there with some settings they would like to give up. In case anybody is wondering my skill level is not in question. thanks

Do you know why you called the drift depot crap? It's because the settings are not tuned for you. They are other people's setting and was tuned for their style of drifting.

I'd say the best way to go at this is to go buy a stock FC and slack on some sims and go practice!

Or go here to pergatory's site to learn how to tune your setting.

yeah already been to that site. If you dont have settings dont bother posting, thanks.

looks like we have a new member thinking he's TOO good for the forums. If you don't have enough experience with drifting, please don't talk like you do. Settings come from experimenting with the car, spending time acutally trying to drift. There are no settings that will just fit right into your style so drop the attitude and try it yourself.

As bamboo_r34 said, the drift settings depot are just a group of settings suggested by a group of people. Just because you can't drift up to the settings, doesn't mean that the depot is crap.

So again, please drop the attitude. If you were experienced enough with drifting, you wouldn't be asking for specific FC settings and thus there would be no argument about this in first place.

I dont' want anyone to pull another $treetking. Think before you act please.
 
whatever man. I wasnt trying to be rude. Just trying to find some good settings. If you have some video evidance of someone drifting well with those settings. lets see it.

You must be completely oblivious. Look at the author of the drift settings, then go to drift videos section and find the videos by the people who made the settings. There's your evidence. Plus, you shouldnt really even need some crazy settings to drift. I drift a stock (except for sims) Z28 camaro just fine, and that car just shouldnt be drifted... hahaha. Good luck.

It seems like you are expecting "perfect" settings for the FC. Well, if that were true, then everyone would only use one setting on the FC and for any other car. Oh wait, we live in the real world, where people have different styles. Different styles = different settings. Why don't you describe to us what is not working for you and then we can help. Here's the general solution:

Try drifting the car stock with Simulation Tires and then tune it to the way you like it.

Go to the Online Racing School to find out how to tune your car if you do not know how.

I hope that helps.
 
with the FC, keep in mind that the front of the car is light and it takes a little more effort to shift the weight to the front...
 
i know that people are going to have different styles, but everyone should have a close to the same basic settings with the exception of some tweeking and peeking. I've made my own settings and have come really close, but not perfect. I just need a couple of sets of peoples settings to bucher to make my own. I'm having a hard time having it push all the way through the turn. these are my current settings.

spring rate 10.0/8.6
ride height 100/100
shock bound 7/9
shock rebound 8/9
camber angle 3.6/2.6
toe angle 1.0/0.0
stablilizers 2/1
initial torque 50
accel 40
decel 30

if somebody wants to try them out and let me know that would be cool or whatever.
 
if you ask me, i'd say that you're shock bound is too high... also, if you're looking to drift, you might want to have the accel. rate on the LSD low...

BTW: what kinda numbers are your real life FC making?
 
Try changing the toe to something more around 2.5/1.0 and the stabilizers need to be a bit stiffer... maybe 3/3 or 4/4. Also those limited slips seem a tad high??? Maybe?? Just my $.02.
 
have you tried cudaman's settings? they work really well. first car i used to drift with and got a hang of it right away. my proof is my video. now i have a different fc with my own settings that fit me better.
 
suggested by bryan heittkotter himself....

Spring rate: 14.8 / 13.6

Ride height: 99 / 99

Bound: 7 / 7

Rebound: 7 / 7

Camber 3.0 / 0.5

Toe: 0 / 0

Stabalizers: 4 / 4

Brakes 12 / 24

LSD 50 / 50 / 18

Gear Final: 4.100, Level 28

ASM: 0

TCS: 0

Power: around 310-320

Wish you luck, worked wonders for me. I just fine tuned it to my personal likings from there.
 
ok ok look i tried ur setting turbo man and i didnt like them then i just tried brians settings and they definitly work better than your's did so i suggest trying his and taylor then to ur needs that is ur best bet and drift on man ! peace
 
spring rate 8.0/9.5
ride height 100/100
shock bound 2/5
shock rebound 4/7
camber angle 3.5/0
toe angle 0/1.0
stablilizers 1/1
initial torque 25 or 30
accel 25
decel 5

try that turboiimadman. one suggestion though...you should learn the basics of car load shift. its kind of common sense once you see it yourself instead of *****ing about other ppl's settings
 
Turboiimadmanm, most of what everyone else (espically Thio and Forced Induction to name 2...) has said if not everything is correct, you just need to pratice drifting with the FC bone stock before you try any tuning with it.

I can't really say, even though I'm familar with FR (and speak of the devil), I was thinking about trying the FC today, but the best way to learn how to drift a car is to first drive it fast al la grip style, learn it's limits inside and out on a given turn to the point you'll feel confident enough to start drifting with that car.

I wish I could show you a good example, I had test driven a SVT Mustang cobra to see if it could match up to an Elise 190 on Apricott hill... (the Elise is faster by bare tenths of a second...otherwise those cars are DEAD equall in overall performace traits...driveability is another issue altogether but I’ve gotten addicted to the SVT Cobra R...), the next day, I found myself drifting thru Deep forest (since I wanted to try another venue) and doing it almost like something out of Initial D, nearly hitting walls and all and found I would not have to tune this car as much as I would have figured in the first place. For me, all I would have to do is configure LSD, shorten gear ratios, maybe stiffen the suspenion, a racing muffler, and some other things and make this car D1 quality.

Just get used to the FC, pick a track you would feel comfortable on and just drive it, keep driving it and learn all you can about drifting it, it could be as swift as with the SVT cobra, or it could take a few days depending on a certain sitaution.

I’m not sure about those settings (besides the fact I don’t use the FC...not yet anyway...), but Thio is right, differnt people drift different ways, it also applies to all other forms of racing as well, no settings are ‘perfect’, you just have to find them yourself like others have said.

In short, pratice a LOT with the stock car on sims (this is only my suggestion but sims seam to be the better tires for drifting in my opnion...) to the point you can drift to a good level, and then see what you can do tuning wise for the car and keep at it untill you can find a setup perfect for YOU. Again, sorry to sound like an echo you heard again and again.

Till later...
 
figure it out 4 urself... sry to be aSSShole but i tried teaching one of my friends how to drift and he's a lost cause... u can't be good at drifting unless ur good at circuit racing.. u have to be somewhat do at just normally handling the car.. like keeping it on the road... most of the time its the driver and not the damn car....
