But 1.178 is fast.... his reaction time was 0.465 so if he got a perfect reaction time that would be 0.713!!!
Top speed of 176.6km/h 109.7mph
Traxxas still has a long way to go......
hey have u guys noticed what ever traxxas sponsor a short time after they start making a r/c version...
Well Have u guys seen they are now sponsoring the Snowcross series.... Wonder how long untill we see a Traxxas snowmobile?

While we bash Traxxas about...well...everything, they have done a lot of good bringing things out first, and maybe an affordable RC drag car is what the hobby world needs next. There are many people out there who would love to get into RC dragsters, but there is just not enough out there ATM to justify it. Maybe this would help give the drag racing world a little push and open it up in more areas. You never know!

If you want to check out some rc drag sites that sell cars go to dragrace concepts, rc car kings, grand motorsports and team walbern those are the most popular that sell high end drag cars. they have all classes from pro stocks up to top fuel cars and all the parts and we all know we will need those parts....

Looks like the esc is only rated to 3s?
so going faster than the claimed speeds may not be much more without a motor and esc swap... [:-]

We ordered a case of them the other day. I am told they'll be here around the end of April. I ordered 2 for me personally!
And what is with this logic ??? "But 1.178 is fast.... his reaction time was 0.465 so if he got a perfect reaction time that would be 0.713!!!"
Ummmmm... yeah. It doesn't quite work like that. You're RT has nothing to do with your ET. But Thanks for the laugh!

For 500 i can put together a T/F rail that will run 1.5s @ at least 85 mph consistently in 132 ft

Ive always wanted a dragster but, ive never jumped on the bandwagon because i have no where to use it, with the release of this car it will cause a more mainstream support for this type of racing which is the only reason im happy about this car, it seems all rcdragracing under ground, as its not promoted near as much as a monster truck, buggy ETC........
Im super excited personally about the timing tree, any RC tree will cost over 2g (from what ive always understood) the fact traxxas is pushing this out at as such and affordable price is really making me happy.
There will be many fools buying this car and as soon i as see more and more of them in person i will remain quiet and just show up one day with a grandmotorsport QUALITY PRO level dragster and tear them all apart................JK......Actually im serious....HAHAHA
PS if foam tires are not available for this car QUICK, it will be worthless. Hopefully those tires aren't made from the same garbage compound as the XO-1 wheels.

I have been interested in a RC drag car, but I think I'd prefer nitro or, even better, gasoline.

Ill never in my life return to nitro racing in a circuit type set up EVER again........but drag racing nitro id consider it only because the only cost id have involved is the car itself because i still have tons of gears, clutches, motors ETC

Seriously - home made projects are always cool. This thread seems to be bringing out the "I can make better than that" comments, so let's see it happen! Would be nice to see a few custom builds.
