Nitro is just not recommended for drifting. If you look at 90% of the drift forums, 95% of the people that drift are using electric. Honestly in all the vids I have watched, I think I have only seen maybe 2 of them had nitro drifters. The way you use the throttle in drifting, you would be sucking down gas like nothing. Also the response to throttle is not instant enough in nitro.
