Status: offline 		Most of the excitement of a real funny car is the sound and burn outs.  Too bad this isn't nitro.   I had an Associated nitro monster truck w/reverse.
It was so fun to do burn outs then reverse back to the line and burn out again. 

It would be cool to install a drag chute. Oh well, I'll stick to pro4 SC

im not really a nitro guy, but i totally agree.


a 2wd electric funny car.  i can see it now, it gets bought cause it looks cool.  gets used once or twice, the user gets bored as hell cause it only go in a straight line.  parks it and never uses it again.  stupid

i call shenanigans on the add though, i don't think the real RC car is pictured.  i think they used the real car and photoshopped a radio behind it.  very missleading

idk, i was thinking the same thing.  to clean, to exact, to replicated, to real looking.  traxxas just doesn't have that in'm, when it comes to detailing body's they're pretty lazy.  the only thing that has me thinking it's an RC is the front rim and the braces on the rear spoiler are missing

still hoping this is an april fools joke that got leaked early

Amen brother. Don't knock it until you have tried it guys!!
70 mph in 132 feet is not to bad but it can and will do better.

Status: offline 		traxxas claims everything they make can do 70mph you just need batteries and gearing, not everycar can handle that speed. My rustler claimed 70mph i set it up to do 70 but no not even close, down hill with a tail wind maybe it would hit 70
