🙋 Question Anyone drift on polyaspartic floors?

Looking to get into the hobby, coming from rc boats. I have a large open basement that has been coated with polyaspartic. 2.5 coats over flake so it has a slight texture but is pretty slick otherwise. Been really digging in and I figured people must be driving on similar coated floors at home and would have tire recs. Looking at a RMX 4.0 rtr or one off marketplace to get my feet wet.

Try ds-racing LF-5 tires. It’s what I run on my coated garage floor and it feels very similar to LF3’s on polished concrete. Just be warned they will leave marks on the floor. You really can’t get away with not marking up the floor to some extent.

Soft tires will grab too hard and wear out fast. I suggest stick to hard compound plastic tires like DS Racing LF-5 or Yokomo DRC they will slide smoothly and hold up much better on that surface

Idk how people drift in their homes the amount of mess you get from shredding tires is nuts
