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?

As long as you can keep your car down and have traction, you can be competitive. If you don't fit in a common class, then you can compete in the unlimited or bracket class.

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.

Pretty cool man. I wish I had a hacker motor to try out. Kinda hard to find the low turn c40 used cans.
