RC Drag Racing
I'm a racer at heart, not being able to afford to run the real thing this is as close as I get till I win lotto and buy myself a top fueller to get into work in .
1/10th scale nitro powered pro stock dragster.
About 2.5 seconds for a scale 1/4 mile (132 ft) @ around 70 mph - still room for improvement.

Trouble is 750, with all the tools on board you'll never get the nose up on that fueller.

Tools... ratchet key and a 12" shifter if the silicone and duct tape doesn't do it.

Re: RC Drag Racing
That looks cool but unsteerable. a mate of mine has a schumacher nitro monster truck with big wheels all round. we stuck 2 x 1 1/4" bsp barrel nipples on the front to keep the nose on the floor but found then that it was too quick for a human brain to control and disintegrated on contact with a lampost down the road from the workshop.
Takes a licking, keeps on ticking.

A friend of mine tried drag racing - he came in fourth with laddered tights (pantyhose)

Re: RC Drag Racing
You're right slingblade VERY unsteerable, especially when its sittin on the wheelie bar till half track. Point and shoot. LOL who put that lamp post there!
