Drift Builds

If you want to do something more than just racing or driving in vehicle legends then you have come to the right place!

I will give you tips on drifting and customizing your car to make it ideal for drifting. Note:This article was written on the 17th of November 2021 and might be outdated in the future

Drifting
Before we build a drift car we must make sure you know how to drift

so first you must know that when you drift, holding the handbrake is the worst thing to do.

I suggest going off-road(it's not compulsory) with race or drift tires and tapping the handbrake when you think you should. You should also boost while drifting so that the extra power makes sure you don't stop. However (as you will learn later in this article) the different types of builds might make your car spin out.

Because of vehicle legends' drift mechanics, you have to be going a little slower than 100 MPH to drift successfully and not stop motion.

As I mentioned before, its not compulsory to go off-road to drift. With a more powerful and high tier car you can drift on asphalt as well. For this you must use drift tires which contributes to drifting as it does not immediately stop your car when you handbrake so you can increase how long you press the handbrake for between intervals.

Drift Building
Off the bat, you have to equip either drift tires, or race tires if you're comfortable going off-road.

If your experience with vehicle legends matches the above then you should def use drift tires, preferably have quad turbo or lower, and use engine upgrade 2 or so. Then you can add all the visual mods you want. I like my drift cars to be simple, my muscle cars to be gnarly, and race cars to be sleek.

If you've come this far into vehicle legends, you're into it. For you, I suggest race tires, lots of power, stock engine and last of all, manual transmission, you choose your gear.

Congratulations! You are officially bored of vehicle legends! Well, you need maxxxx upgrades, drift tires, and RWD! You will need to regulate your throttle so good luck with that!
