Status: offline 		So I have a Duratrax Delphi in my room. Its sort of like a skinny 1/10th pan car, with direct drive and minimal suspension. If I get some skinny front tires (like you guys have in previous pics) and throw in a hot setup, do you think it would even be able to compete in any drag classes?

Thanks -
The ESC is a custom made ESC for the car from MTroniks. They special made that one for me to use in my speed car projects.
