I got into RC drift while I was in Japan. Using a Yokomo chassis and few of their bodies. I started of with a ready to run drift kit that came with an R34 body and painted it the stock color. Then I really got into it and really started making custom stuff. Got all aluminum suspension and some carbon fiber chassis parts. Then made a Team Orange (drift team in Japan) Evo6 replica of there drift Evo8. Also made a Sil80 putting together a S13 body with a 180sx body. Also has custom offset wheels and carbon fiber hood and trunk. Then I made a RS-R IS200 Altezza. All the red, gold, and black is custom painted. This also had custom offset wheels, carbon fiber hood, trunk, and roof.

Sounds like an air leak. I have seen them come right from the manufacturer with it. The bearings leak and the air rushing in makes the motor scream. You put soapy water around the crank and look for air bubbles. You can ruin an engine quick like that since it leans it out so bad. You nitro engine needs nitro fuel to keep it cool, if it's lean it will run hot and damage the engine. Always better rich than lean. I like to see a bit of smoke when I'm running it. I also would not recommend Traxxas fuel... it sucks! I use O'Donnels 25% racing fuel.
