Status: offline 		the idea behind this is that i really dont want to spend much money making a dragster, i want it to go at least sixty, but get there fast! like 2-3 seconds... is it possible???, what about a 4-tec electric????

what about a micro rs4??? micro would be more less expensive though, but will it be able to reach sixty???

Status: offline 		well I had the car I had most of all the stuff already made from other projects but if you were to buy all the parts as if I didnt have them it would probably cost around 100$ to build but the drag cars built from factories perform better but atleast I can say I built the car lol

Great pics - How did you connect drag tires on the rear of your TC3? What all was involved?
Also could you show close up of your steering? I see how the servo is controlling it, but what is the other bar coming from the middle?

Very creative and looks clean. I like it and would like to try something similar but electric. Thanks
