Excellent workmanship my friend. Looks like a runner. Any images of the front end? What are you going to use for a body? What's the wheelbase? If you've already posted this in another thread, sorry for asking twice. Link us there.

[edit] If you end up needing more wing, here's a link to how GMS mounts adjustable side winglets to its rail. http://www.grandmotorsports.com/dragster.asp You'll have to look closely, but it appears they attach to the chassis plate and don't hang off the body. FWIW, just in case. Not sure about RC jet cars, but RC rocket cars have a tendency to want to fly. [end edit]

Status: offline 		Hi AHR43, The front wheel assembly is in the process of being built. Im sourcing the wheels first, and then the wheel assembly can be built. The main body will be made from a sheet of LEXAN plastic that will be bent and cut into the shape of the rail dragster and sprayed from the inside. The back wheel base will be 14 and a half inches wide ( FROM OUTER EDGE TO OUTER EDGE OF THE TYRES). Length from the back wheels to the front will be 6ft 4 inches. Im keeping this beast as long and narrow a possible just like the real rail dragsters. Cheers for now All the best JETMAN

How much horse power per tonne does that dragster have?

as for where to get them, you can make your own reasonably easily. google valveless pulsejet and look at the plans. the type he has is a valved pulsejet.

Status: offline 		how much will it cost for the engine? cause you gould buy like a lehner 3060 or lehber 3080 for 600$ and a speed control for another 600$. possibly could save you money and get you more speed
