omg no name -> wanting to make trinity street spec into dragster (3/22/2008 5:45:40 PM)
im going to try to make a trinity street spec into a dragster. i just need some tips on how to make it lighter and what motor should i put in it. i dont have the money for a brushless motor right now. here are some pics...

It should be light enough now. I think any mod motor will work fine.

well i finally got it done. i cant wait to take it out but its raining out so maybe tommarow. i still need to mess with the steering a little bit, but other than that its fine. heres some pics...sorry for the bad lighting. some things it has is jr racing servo, novak duster 2 sport, trinity street spec motor, traxxas receiver and transmiter, 6 cell 3200 mah battery and locked differental. 23 tooth pinion and 81 tooth spur.

omg no name, Good start. Curious, what is your steering issue? Recommend roll testing the car with all the electrics in place. Either remove the pinion, or move the motor assy fwd on its mount so the car rolls free with the radio and xmtr on. That should help you nail any stg issues. Adjust for a straight roll with the stg trim set to zero - or midway. Then you set in trim once you beginning running your course. Roll test it again at the site you run at. Can't tell from the pix, and don't know the chassis. But, if you have kingpin angle to the rear, you can run 0 deg toe. If the kingpins are vertical, you'll need some toe-in to help it go more straight. 1/16" should work O.K. Good luck. Let us know how you do.

it the servo horn. i just need to get a new one. im going to take it out as soon as the battery is charged. im also going to my lhs to get some deans connecters. thanks for the help

I understand now. As long as you have to get a new horn, think about using a servo saver. I use Kimbrough on both my cars-Futaba model on the bracket Camaro. HiTec model for the TFE. These are the small ones. Work good in close clearance and are light. Steering takes a lot of shock drag racing because there is little or no suspension. If there is a suspension, it is usually real stiff. Good luck. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXS362&P=ML http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXS447&P=ML

there is supension in the front and its pretty soft. this car wasnt made for drag racing it was a oval carpet racer. but yea thanks for the help im going to lhs tommarow and getting deans plugs and a servo saver. one question would one of those work for a jr racing servo, because those said it were for hitec and futaba. thanks

oh yea i forgot i took it out for a run and i hit 55 mph top so far. i changed the gearing to 28 tooth pinion and 81 spur. i might make a 7 cell battery soon, so that would give me more power to.
