I’ve always wanted to build one of these, so a while ago I ordered this new Stage D kit with plans to convert my RTR drift into a Stage D car. So I began collecting parts slowly to make the ultimate nitro drift missile!

For anyone who wasn’t aware, the RTR nitro drift chassis is different than the Stage D chassis. Servo mounts are different, material is different (6061 vs 7075), one is made in Taiwan and the other in Japan, they cannot be interchanged.

First thing I did was rip out the single speed gearbox from the RTR, swapped out the spur from a 47T to a 44T, and mounted it to the Stage D chassis with a Hot Bodies center gearbox mount. I also installed a Yeah Racing steering assembly but this will not be in the finished car.

Next I tore open a rear diff from an RS4-3, installed the diff cup from the Nitro Drift, an HPI diff locker kit, and put the assembly back into a brand new plastic housing

Installed the rear diff assembly and driveshaft, and while at it I fitted the brake kit from the Hot Bodies edition RS4. Purple brake cam lever is also from there.

Rear shock tower is the original Hot Bodies design, impossible to find nowadays

And so this is as far as I’m going to get today. Progress will continue as I acquire more pieces. Minor details will all be ironed out by the time it’s complete

That looks so good! do you mind sharing where you got those rims?Scored a brand new hi-power tuned pipe so it’s time to replace used/worn one on the car

Such a nice kit, has everything needed including zip ties. The silicone tubes are excellent quality and I noticed this pipe has a seam across the middle unlike the old one
