Drift Hunters MAX – An Initial Consideration

Before diving into Drift Hunters tuning, we wanted to let you know there’s now a massive update to the classic game – Drift Hunters MAX.

After years of fan feedback, we teamed up with original creator Ilya Kaminetsky to bring you this Drifted.com exclusive, which delivers what you’ve all been asking for.

Drift Hunters MAX delivers a next-gen experience with the largest selection of drift cars, stunning maps, and features that blow the original away.

The physics have also had a huge overhaul to become smoother and more like what you’re used to in your favorite console/PC games.

Cloud saving via your Drifted account means you can start your sideways journey at home, continue at school, or pick up at work. It also works flawlessly on most modern mobile devices and tablets, with cross-platform sync!

We’ve also added epic new modes like free-roam with AI traffic and ‘Drift Attack’ where you’ll hit clipping points against the clock for maximum points before being judged and rewarded based on your skills.

If you want to know more, we compared the original game with Drift Hunters MAX to help you decide which will suit you best.

While MAX improves virtually everything, some players with older devices stick with the original. That’s why Drift Hunters 2025 now comes optimized for lower-spec setups, though we had to trim some features to keep it smooth.

Some diehards still prefer the original offering, and that’s totally fine. Don’t panic – the classic Drift Hunters game isn’t going anywhere!

Let’s dive into everything you need to know about Drift Hunters tuning.

Drift Hunters Tuning

Whether you’re looking to slam your car with perfect drift fitment or go for a crazy oni-kyan (demon camber) style setup, we’ve got you covered.

Basic Upgrades

To get started, we recommend heading to “PARTS” from the main menu and then upgrading the “ENGINE” and “TURBO” to “RACING” with the FREE 25000 in-game credits.

If you’ve already splashed your cash on another car, it may be worth heading to the track to earn some money to carry out these upgrades first, especially the turbo.

Don’t panic if not, as you can always upgrade these later on.

Tuning Your Car

Head back to the main menu and select “TUNING.”

We recommended upgrading the turbo because this will allow you to adjust all of the options within the tuning menu.

Turbo Setup

Firstly, the “TURBO” option in the tuning menu allows us to customize the turbo pressure (assuming you upgraded the turbo).

We keep this to the max, as we like ALL OF THE POWER, no matter whether we’re driving a Toyota Supra or a Mark VI Ford Fiesta ST.

But if you’re just getting started, lowering the turbo boost (pressure) will make the car more predictable and easier to control.

Front Camber

The front camber changes the angle of your front wheels.

Negative camber on the front is often more desirable for drifting. This will provide maximum ground contact when steering into sharp turns at your favourite drift locations in the game.

While this is mostly a personal preference, we typically run around -4 to -5 degrees of negative camber in Drift Hunters for the best combination of style and function.

Rear Camber

As you’ve hopefully guessed, too much positive camber isn’t going to be great in the rear, either!

Traction is everything for the best drifting grip, so try not to go too crazy with your rear camber. Opt for around -1 to -2 degrees to get the optimal grip for the maximum drift.

Front Offset

Stance and fitment can transform a drift car from looking insanely cool to being the butt of the jokes at the track.

As you may have guessed, both these extremes at the opposite ends of the scale are a little too much, and we feel that a front offset of around 3 cm is typically the sweet spot, although it varies from car to car.

For the ultimate fitment, the goal is to get the top of your tire flush with the fender without needing to change rims.

Rear Offset

While a wide track offers superior traction, going too far with the rear offset will once again make the car look ridiculous.

Much like the front, go as wide as you can to get the tire sitting flush with the fender. But don’t be afraid to go a little beyond (or even Kyle Mohan style) if that suits your tastes better.

Brake Balance

We’ve found that brake balance is a matter of personal preference, and we feel it’s best left alone.

However, if you feel as though the car isn’t handling quite how you’d like when you hit the brakes either on straight roads or in corners mid-drift, adjusting this will allow you to control the front/rear ratio of the brake pressure.

Front Height

As you probably guessed, this changes your vehicle’s ride height without spending hours tweaking your coilovers!

We’ve shown the extremes of the front ride height here, which varies between cars.

At this point, if you’ve used excessive camber, your wheels may begin poking through the fenders. However, the sweet spot is usually around -4 to -5 cm if you’ve gone for a sensible setup.

If you’ve found the perfect ride height, but the camber now looks off, you can always return to the previous menu and adjust it.

Rear Height

Let’s face it: few things in life are more satisfying than a drift car with well-executed fitment!

Adjusting your rear height is the final piece of the puzzle for perfecting your ideal drifting setup.

While a slammed look at -8 cm provides a sweet-looking stance, increasing the height to around -5 cm will allow a little more flex in the suspension while still looking fantastic.

Brake Pressure

Since we can’t provide subtle braking in Drift Hunters, with the brake key being an “all or nothing” approach, some players prefer to lower the brake pressure.

As you may have guessed, this is a matter of personal preference based on your driving style. We recommend tweaking both this and the brake balance mentioned above to see which one works best for you.
