Default RE: 56 gasser!!

O.K. 65chevyshortbed. Now you got my drag racing nostalgia blood flowing. I've added a Parma '41 Willys and Parma Hemi Engine Kit to my Tower "Wish List". I've got a Kyosho 2WD MT chassis up in the attic unused for years. 21T motor probably-I've got lots of those. And lots of GP 2200 cells. 6 round cell pack sounds good.

We could have "Gasser Wars". Your '33 and my '41. Like the old K.S. Pittman '33 and SWC '41 (Stone, Woods and Cook - ask your dad he'll know). Yeah the SWC was a blown Olds with one of the first B&M race converted HydroMatics. But, the Parma blown Hemi will have to do. Or maybe I'll build it as a "Big John" Mazmanian '41. All three held awesome match races on the west coast in the '60s.

I'd like to see a classic/nostalgia RC drag racing class develop. Maybe scale 1/8mile (66ft) distance. Maybe limit the motor to 21T. Maybe 6 round cells or a 2s LiPo. Might be great fun.
