Most of the excitement of a real funny car is the sound and burn outs.  Too bad this isn't nitro.   I had an Associated nitro monster truck w/reverse.
It was so fun to do burn outs then reverse back to the line and burn out again. 

It would be cool to install a drag chute. Oh well, I'll stick to pro4 SC

im not really a nitro guy, but i totally agree.


a 2wd electric funny car. i can see it now, it gets bought cause it looks cool. gets used once or twice, the user gets bored as hell cause it only go in a straight line. parks it and never uses it again. stupid

Looks interesting, I wonder what the price range is? Looks like you have to buy the timing thing separate so I'm thinking the whole package might be a bit pricey.

kind of a pointless and mostly useless but ok.
i call shenanigans on the add though, i don't think the real RC car is pictured.  i think they used the real car and photoshopped a radio behind it.  very missleading

I can't believe their only claiming 70+mph. Hell, their stadium truck does that.

idk, i was thinking the same thing. to clean, to exact, to replicated, to real looking. traxxas just doesn't have that in'm, when it comes to detailing body's they're pretty lazy. the only thing that has me thinking it's an RC is the front rim and the braces on the rear spoiler are missing

still hoping this is an april fools joke that got leaked early

Here in the states the quickest is 121 mph done last year at rockingham.. And by the way for people who think this is boring trying to get a car to stay straight at these speeds is not as easy as you think Come and visit the web site International Model Drag Racing Association you,ll see what we run and and all about the national events we hold across the staes

Amen brother. Don't knock it until you have tried it guys!!
70 mph in 132 feet is not to bad but it can and will do better.

traxxas claims everything they make can do 70mph you just need batteries and gearing, not everycar can handle that speed. My rustler claimed 70mph i set it up to do 70 but no not even close, down hill with a tail wind maybe it would hit 70

Nar bud thats not mine...

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......

It's not my video it was uploaded by AirAgeMedia1 on youtube, I guess they weren't meant to release the video yet or something and they messed up. Oh well at least a few of us got a sneak peek.

RE: Traxxas RTR 1/8 NRHA Funny Car Race Replica
 
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... [:-]
