RE: Stopping To Say Hello
What size engines are you using to turn those big tires? I am converting a on-road car to do some local drag racing and have some big drag tires on the rear and am thinking that a NovaRossi 321 P (modified of course) can turn the tires at will.
Thanks and those cars are simply awesome.

RE: Stopping To Say Hello
Miami,, I havent even started the engine on the front engine dragster yet...Quad Thank You Man!!! Brent,, We make the Rims and Tires for our cars,,, The Fiat Fuel Altered comes with a Axial .32 with a Roto start,,These cars are large 1/8th scale and 1/6th scale..Using the Right Clutch and proper Gearing with Rear Tire size is the Key to making any scale Car run at its best along with using the power band of your engine.. Its a fine ballance of Wheel base,, Rear Tire size,, Gearing,, Power band,, and Clutch management Plus Chassis ballance.. I started in RC cars in 1979..I'v built more cars than I can count..Brent I wish you luck in building your car for Drag Racing...... Jeff Right now I dont have a web site,, I'm upgrading my Biz right now and will be moving into a New shop soon.. We will be getting CNC machines and other EQP...This will take some time to complete, So I'm thinking we will be puting the Cars on the Market early next summer late spring...After we get every thing going we will get a web site... If any of you guys want to talk and If I can help in any way Please Call me at 1-815-398-2627 or PM me... Thanks alot Guys!!!! John.

RE: Stopping To Say Hello
When I see cars like this it makes me wish there were a "scale class" at some of the events. Everyone knows that the tube chassis cars cannot outrun the carbonfiber jobbers. Its just that the tube chassis look so much more real and scale than a piece of carbonfiber. Nitrorage, your cars look world class and if you can get your company up and going I will be a customer for sure!!

JeffLee... Thanks Man,,, I agree about the Pan car against a Tube chassis car,,, I started the Midwest RC Drag Racing Series and We have Scale classes from 10th scale,, Mid scale 8th 7th 6th scale ,, and 1/4 scale Class... We Have a complete Rule book... You can find our Rule book and More Info at www.BigSquidRC.com in the fourms under the Midwest RC Drag Racing Series..Feel free to join but Make sure you Email [email protected] when you sign up..And Fill in as much info on the Sign in page... Jeff,, In our Mid scale Rules {{ 1/8th 1/7th 1/6th scale}}we split the cars in 2 with A Class for Pan cars and A Class for Tube Chassis cars.. This makes it much more fair for each style of chassis...There is much more to RC Drag Racing than just 1/10th scale,,We are Growing Fast and have Tracks in 5 states and 2 in Calgary Alberta Canada.. In 4 months we have about 220 Racers and Very close to 110 in just the CHGO eria......Jeff PM me your phone # and I'LL call you,, or Feel free to call me afternoons and Nights any time... Hope to talk to you soon.... John from Nitro Rage RC and founder of Midwest RC Drag Racing Series..

RE: Stopping To Say Hello
NitroRage,
Thanks much for your thoughts and replies. I am very interested in doing a drag car later on but I am willing to play with and "TRY" to work with what I have before spending $$$ on a car without prior experinces. This car has cheap parts as is and I am sure that a good chassis that you sell is far more expensive.
Here is what I am working with and I will post up my findings as I go. Thanks again.

RE: Stopping To Say Hello
OMG John. Ricky is the man I see. He was sooooooo extremely helpful and has even talked me out of using a Nova Rossi engine but turned me on to a RB Xenon C-5 engine instead. He also gave me tons of info on different pipes, headers, gearing and a bunch of other chit I couldn't remember.....LOL. He told me to give him a call anytime and that was great news to hear.
Oh well, thanks again and off I go to buy some parts.
