Geeze, if you spent 3 x 3300 without a break in between you can be damaging your ESC and motor. You have to give the stuff a break in between runs! I still don't comprehend what's so great about the SG Drift videos, is it the JPoP music that gets everyone pumped up? They're all on ABS tires, which I linked to in my previous post. You'll get a little more traction than PVC with them, but don't expect to be flying around at any high speeds. The cars they're using are Tamiyas. They prove you don't have to have an expensive car to have fun drifting, which is what drifting is about, no?

The LHS may laugh at you if you stumble in there telling them you used it and the solder joint came undone. Can't you soldier it on yourself?

BTW, it sounds like you got a RTR TC4, is this true?
