Well, I thought I would update my progress with my drifter. It is now working great. I can run a whole battery through it in the middle of the day when it's about 100' outside and the motor heats up to 153'. That is the hottest it has gotten and I run it nonstop full out.

Since my last post, I have burned up the stock trinity motor. Once I took a look at it, I realized that it really is a piece of junk. I ordered a Trinity Komodo Dragon and wow, it works amazingly and has so much power. It also has ball bearings which probably helps keep it from getting to hot. I also geared it down two teeth. It actually had a 24t and I went to a 22t. They are the same pitch as my other losi cars, so I have tons of gears to play with.

I am also getting very good at drifting. I impress myself sometimes. I set out my orange track dots for a technical course and go crazy on it.[>:] I have only wrecked it once since I bought it. I was doing a speed run with drift tires on my street. It goes strait at low speeds, but at high speed it veared off coarse towards the curb. I got it under control and into reverse before it hit the curb. I bairly tapped it with the front and put a few minor scufs on the front, but that's about it (nothing worse than that).
