Status: offline 		well in the last 2-3 months i have learned there are 4 major things you need to do to turn car/truck into a dragster, 1. power-you need to find a good power source, you already said brushless is in your evader so you are good there 2.tires-a good set of tires that do not balloon to much is a must 3.suspension- getting your suspension dialed is a big part of your overall set up 4. tons of practice, its what will make of break you on the strip

Status: offline 		Suspension brand? Is all custom man. You use what is best for your setup.

I use foam rear tires on my rustler when I use to dragrace it. Before that I used regular tires, belted with ductape.

Motor choice depends on the battery you will be using. I used several motors from the low KV to the high KV ranges. I usually peaked at near 2000 watts in my setups. The use of a qaulity motor is key to your setup.
