Budget "JATO KILLER" drag truck
To say i am on a budget is being a little generous. I have had 5 r/c car's over the course of eight years ranging from an electric rustler to a nitro hawk to a xxx-nt sport and a xxx-nt adam drake to a schumacher menace. Now i have either sold them or they are in so many parts there is no reason to put them back together, actually it would probably cost more to put them back together than it would just to buy a whole new truck. Now i have a new mission, i thought i was out of r/c but my friend keeps pulling me back, and i am on the lookout for low budget project truck that is going to fly, my goal is 80mph. I know at that speed its pretty much pointless to even buy a truck, but i like the fact that i could change the gearing and be able to take it off road. What would be a good platform to start my project off of? I was thinking an old nitro rustler chassis or maybe a rc/10gt but i am not sure. One thing i am sure of is to reach those speeds it needs to be a single speed with very tall gearing and i need a strong enough engine to get it to pull. So what do you think?
