Default RE: Nitro-D Drift Vid

Nice to hear.. I like the smoke from nitros.. Gives it a more realistic look Well I don't know much about nitro since i'm a electric guy so I would recommend that you ask somebody in the nitros forum. Often times there will be somebody there to help you.. That's what I like about RCU.

Cool vid man! I dunno for some reason when I see electrics drifting on ABS or PVC it looks like their driving on ice. U got some skillz keeping it in really good control. I like having some grip seems somewhat more realistic too. I find right now that my suspension is too stiff, once I get my purposely built nitro drifter I'll have it set up better. I was using my 18ss for drifting just to try out those new tires.

And you are right I was giving it too much throttle. I found at a steady low throttle I had really good control but its awesome hearing the engine roar doing a drift and watching smoke spew out haha. I was inspecting my car and tried turning the tires to see how freely the drivetrain moved and realized it was somewhat binding. I turned clutchbell and it was grinding so I took it all apart and found out my spring came off the clutch. Is this a common thing for Nitro Drifting???.. I read in another forum that you burn clutches up pretty quick and think there was something about the springs coming off. Any info would be much appreciated.
