At first, I thought that was tire smoke

Awesome

 

Same here.....if is not tire smoke what is it? because its not always on the same side....

 

it's smoke from the exhaust. that car runs on nitrmethane. since the engines are two stroke (like most dirtbikes) there is oil mixed in the gas for lubrication of the piston skirts rod and crank bearings. it is also used as a cooling additive since the units are cooled only by heat being pulled out of the engine case with heat sinks. there are no radiators or punps for air/water.

just some info for the guys that don't see r/c too much, international 1/10 sedan racing dictates a .12 cubic inch (2.1 cc's) engine. premier engines produce between 1.5-1.7hp and redline at around 40,000 rpm.


if you guys get a chance to see a gas r/c sedan race, check it out. you'll have a blast.

 

Very skilled !!!

I remember seeing something like this a year ago..

It were some japanese guys, the had the several cars for drift. They had japanese tuner cars to drift with. I believe the used plastic drainpipes that the cutted in rings.
The rings were used for tires... Nice and smooth

If anyone know what movie I mean, try to give us the link

 

 

i've always wanted one of those...then i thought about it and figured modding the real ride was more fun

 

www.hpiracing.com has that Stage D drift kit and a S2000 body to fit it:
