One Clean up the motor.
Second it's time to get some new brushes.
Third it is over heating...

These are just "possibilities"

Yeah, [sm=idea.gif] Try a heat sink too, it could be over heating. Also clean out the motor.
I might be able to help you out even more, if you tell me how many turns it is...

Well it might be that since you are getting better at drifting if is heating up from you flooring it around those corners to make it drift, so how good are you at drifting ( I'm asking to suggest a more capable motor.)

OR

If you want to not buy a new motor here are things to cool it down Heat sink, Larger Spur Gear, Less traction tires (like ABS), heat sink with fan!(heres a image)

So just get a larger tooth spur gear but not to large, and a heat sink, with some new brushes, Then you'll be alright...
