M.R. Ogle

Yes... My company, Grand Motorsports, sells them. We just signed up with a store on RC Universe. Check it out!

Now, if only Steve Saik still made motors!

If you're looking for cobalt or neo drag motors, Roy Anderson Engineering is now making them. He has found a source for better-grade Neo magnets from the US... better than the imported stuff that everybody used to have to use. Follow the RAE link off the Grand Motorsports website, and you'll find 'em!

Has anyone run the Mamba Max in a dragster yet ?

Igotntc3andrevo

man why do they have to be so expensive sheesh might be cheaper making my own

aer-wubby

Yeah, check out the GMS 11 kit: http://www.grandmotorsports.com/otherdrag.asp . Look how expensive that thing is, and it barley has a lot of parts =|.

While I don't have a dragster as such, I am purchasing a HPI Pro4 for drag racing soon. BTW, great article in RC Driver on drag racing!

studysession, thats the one I like the best too. What are you powering it with?

studysession

I use it for testing my motors and ESC's in. There aren't any places that do drag racing around here. I wish there were, I would go.

Igotntc3andrevo

I saw that one to but its like 200 in sumthin bucks i was thinking about getting the one lower than that one what do you think about that or should i just hook my mini t up with the best stuff possible.

M.R. Ogle

Have you guys seen what we're doing with the dragsters lately? Look at this:

http://www.bigsquidrc.com/projects/drag_build.php


With the 1:18 Mamba systems and 3 or 4 LiPo cells, these dragsters FLY!!! I guarantee you... NOTHING will out run one of these cars on the street.. And the total package is not all that expensive.

studysession

Has anyone done that in the Funny Car (like the one I have)? or just Dragster?

Igotntc3andrevo

Yeah ive seen them run He comes out to some dragracing events that i am a part of they are quick but i think i want to go full size BL

trckey2

i have a pan car chassis lyeing around, this gives me an idea cause that is fast, may look into this

M.R. Ogle

I've only put them in rail dragsters... but the mounting, motor plate and basic principle is the exact same in the GMS14 funny chassis as the dragster. I just wanted the Mamba in the lightest, longest drag car possible.

Bill Birmingham of Apogee put a Mamba Maxx /Apogee Magnum LiMN in his GMS 11 drag kit, and it just kept flipping over backwards.

Never Enough

Do you have plans of releasing a wheelie bar kit for the Grand Motorsport Cars ?

raz54

That and a drag chute that could be operated with a 2 ch. radio.

running_gag

how hard would it be to put that mamba into a 1/10 sedan? I have an old hpi rs4 sprot 2 lying around.

-Inverted-

I wouldn't go that far. A tekin 8.0 motor with a Quark 33a Pro-Car ESC and a 5 cell li-po surely would....
