trucks dont drag race???? that is a very ignorant statment..........





anyways............

a jato is the quickest thing on the market but limited buy its 2speed.........if you want all out speed (with out bein limited by amount of space) a RC10GT would be a way better choice

I wasn't going to get that serious but thanks for the support. I drag raced for about 11 years in Fremont California but only 2 best were 2nd place in C GAS modified production. That was only because they cheated more than I did [>:] and for 4 years my partner and I had the fastest 1/4 mile 56er Ford Pick Up. That 426 wedge Dodge engine with 13 to 1 pontiac pop up pistons moved pretty good with a 3000 pound body on it Damn I got off the question, see what happens when you get an old man thinking way back in the day [&:]

Out of the box was what I was refering to about the TRAXXAS trucks but there are a lot of better choices if you GOTS yenom backwards [sm=wink_smile.gif]

RC10GT for drag racing? I would go with the jato for that seeing it has a 2 speed and all.

If you want a vehicle thats only good for straight line, traxxas is the company to go with. If you plan to take it onto a track... dont even bother considering Traxxas.

Obviously your much smarter than I am so where were you when someone said trucks don't drag race. There was a reason for my statement and what might yours be? With your intelectual ability and perfect grammer why aren't you a teacher or something that is useful instead of correcting my spelling in a statement that was made to a person in jest. You wouldn't like me to get nasty because I'm to stupid to know how to spell and that means I might be a violent person. But I totally appreciate your correction as it was needed in the context of knowledge about RC trucks drag racing.[:-]

Jato 3.3 is going to be the best dragster out of the box. Sure, you could put a big engine and some other crap in a GT to make it beat a Jato, but you can do the same things to the Jato to make it even faster as well. Drag racing gets boring fast though.

Nobody really cares about who's the fastest in a straight line, it's who can get around a track faster. Have fun trying to find people that want to drag race you.
