Hey, I found this forum after I was checking the web stats for my company, Grand Motorsports... I followed the link back to here.

Here's a pic of my latest personal drag car, a 27-cc quarter-scale gas powered funny car.

GMS has both nitro and electric drag cars, both are fun, but the new brushless/Lipo electric dragsters are just unreal, going over 100 mph in just 132 feet.

Hi John Heim

Thanks for posting those links:)

RE: New Drag Racing Forum
 

hey mike that a cool lookin 1/4 scale what does it run in the 330 since that would be the scale guarter

RE: New Drag Racing Forum
 

Actually, I'm running it this weekend for the first time... but we'll run 165 feet, a scale 1/8 mile, due to shutdown distance and the fact we're running with mostly 1:10 scale cars at 132 feet.

RE: New Drag Racing Forum
 

right but this car lol would take 2 people to carry it instead of one like the 1/10 lol

RE: New Drag Racing Forum
 

Finally,

thats all i can say!

RE: New Drag Racing Forum
 

Hey all,

Count us in as part of this forum. Great find! Thank you Nathan for the start-up.

We here at AHR43 have been RC drag racing for two years now. Bracket Class, and recently a local 2.50sec Index Class. We recommend it as hobby or sport to all RCers we meet.

We hope we can contribute in a positive manner, and look forward to making new acquaintenances in the RC drag racing community.

MR OGLE, WHERE DID YOU GET THE TIRES AMD RIMS? they look good.

RE: New Drag Racing Forum
 

The rear wheels are Go-Kart rims, however, any 40-series T-Maxx rim is the right size, and that's what I'm working on now, getting a pair of those drilled out to fit the rear hubs...the fronts are FG Marder offroad buggy front rims, just narrowed on a lathe.

The tires are all foam, and those are available from Bishop Racing Products, dot com. The body is now available through Quarterscale Legends.

RE: New Drag Racing Forum
 

Oooh mike you're gonna have some fun with that baby :D Would you be looking at a kit to sell in the near future? I can just imagine the fun trying to keep the power down on a race ported zen loaded with all the goodies

RE: New Drag Racing Forum
 

Actually, it seems that the guys at quarterscalelegends (dot-com) are talking about producing these type of cars. They're certainly simple enough to effectively produce.... see the "New Funny Car" post under "Member's Rides".
