Status: online 		I seen a video of a RC drag truck..it ran 150' in 5.05 seconds.. the timing gear said an extremely high MPH of 73 MPH...but the truck looked to be doing closer to 40 MPH..... does 5.05 in 150' seem awefully slow for a 73 MPH trap speed ???? I am not really familiar with RC drags, so any info would be appreciated...

Yes, that is WAYYYYY OFFFFFFFF!! Just to give you an idea, the guys that dragged here in Miami would put down 75-80 mph traps speeds in a less than 2 sec run. Official drag strip length is 132 feet. Those numbers are way off!!!
