I might try the rolling down the hill idea So i can radius the inner lips on my flashabacks.
What number sandpaper should I use?
i dont know if putting a radius on your flashies will do a whole lot because the wheels are side-set. there is no excess material on the outside of the hub to "catch" and grip more. i think you would be better off just riding them and wearing the lip down gradually.

does the amount of material removed by radiusing (<is that a word?) make a difference, like if i took off more material from the outer lip than the inner lip?
and do you think that radiusing my venom shockers will help any in terms doing of predrifts and pendy drifts?
thank in advance

(not my quote. don't smoke. it's bad for you.)
if you want more drift, take off more material from the inner lip. sure changing the contact patch will make less friction and technically an easier slide/drift. but to get a real good slide, make your wheels more offset or sideset by taking off material from the inner lips.
i dont know much about venom shockers so i cant say what differences will be made by removing material.
