Default Himoto "rat rod" 10th scale 3.3 drag project

this is my himoto 10th drag car project, its built using parts i had lying around. traxxas 3.3 powered. himotos are cheap and decent so i thought it would make a good donner car. it has a single speed tranny because himoto had an issue with the 2 speed trannys stripping out. i had it running once but it didnt run very good, i found out later that the traxxas plastic carb had a crack. but the little time that it did run the front wheels were not on the ground. i have to get a new carb, and change a couple of things on the chassis and it will be good to go again

Pretty cool dragster you have there. I am digging your rubber "slicks".

With an uncracked carb that thing will go even better. You should make a wheelie bar if its as you say. Are those old pins on that car? It's nice.
