Outstanding run. Two thumbs up. Twice. :thumbs-up: :thumbs-up: :thumbs-up: :thumbs-up: Come spring when the blacktop warms, bet she'll be cranking out some 1.90s. 'AC'

Great build johnny. Love the coil-style front wheels. Ran an AL pair that design up front on my rail and am running JC nylon coils on one of my cars now. One note of caution on coils, though. Stay away from banging the track side boards if you can. Coils will take a bend easily doing that...

Nice rigs, johnnydmd. "Two cool shorts standin' side by side. . . " A line taken from a '60s era hot rod tune, if I recall correctly. Rest of the guys caught you up, did they? ;) Time to get serious now. As if you weren't before. Doubling down on performance for 2024. Anxious to see...

Looking good, johnny. Yeah, I learned listening to the lady goes a long way to ensure future funding. ;) Chassis looks like its packin' a lot of chute. How's that working out? Don't know if you follow 1:1 drag racing? In the event you do here's a link I stumbled onto yesterday. It's a...

Green and clean all the way. Win light in johnnydmd's lane! Nice win. Gotta love the 'One Way' sign in the background. :D Curious? How are you powering your steering and throttle servo's? Any other power draws in the circuit besides the two servo's? 'AC'

Great race report. Yeah, stuff happens when you're really racing. Relieved to read damage was not too severe. Racing a cold track can be just as unforgiving as a hot track sometimes. Traction window b/w too hot and too cold is pretty narrow. Hard to tune to. Electric or nitro. Agree with...

Looking good and good test session report. Little practice on throttle disciple will come in handy on those hot days when the asphalt is greasy. Ha. Mention of pollen brings back memories. Especially in the March time frame every year there'd be a light dusting of pollen on the workshop...

Good follow-up test article, Johnny. Reads like you're well on the way to gettin' her dialed. Interesting comments on running body off in the gusty wind condition-as well as limiting the run distance. Good solution to getting runs in under adverse conditions. We ran some 66ft events back...

Looking good. She's a-rockin and a rollin on the test stand. Locked and loaded for shake down runs. ;) Rockingham. Ran an RC drag race national there 2008. Liked the set-up. Had an uphill slope for shut down runout. Really helpful after a hard run. Wonder if they still use the same...

Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to a project thread on your nitro Rustler. Cheers, mate. 'AC'

Outfriggenstanding build, johnny. Super detailing makes it look like the real deal. Intimidating too. Set the guy in the other lane off his game from the get-go. 2.50sec Index was my fav class back in the full prep day. Fast enough for good racing, yet slow enough to still drive the car out...

Outstanding finish, johnnydmd. Epoxy finish on the blower? Is that for looks or protection? How do you apply it? Always on the lookout for new TT&P. My MT10 Rival has an exposed blower on its hood. If epoxy coating offers additional crash protection, I'd be interested in doing that too...

Interesting wing install, johnny. How does it function? Offers more survivability? Wing depresses at speed for less drag without lateral stability sacrifice? If nothing else, it certainly looks trick. 'AC'

Good reasoning on parts survivablilty, johnny. Beyond driveline components, everything else is low stress. . . until a crash. Then CF is the first to suffer. Splintering in the 60mph range. Shattering at 80mph plus. Really can't build in crash resistance without really adding a lot of...

Welcome to the wild world of RC drag racing chassis builds. You are going to learn a lot. 3D printing brings a whole 'nother level to fabrication. Exciting times. Built my own dragster chassis out of G10 fibreglass back '07-'11. Went through six iterations of design along the way. Some...
