Finished painting this one today for a buddy of mine.

This always frustrates the locals at my racetrack.

RC drag racing seems to grind to a halt up here in the northwest in winter, but some of us are still out here grinding it out on the cold asphalt. I made this pass yesterday on 40 degree asphalt.

You can't go wrong with Factory Works products. I use many of Jeff's products on my cars and they have proven to be of the highest quality. The rc no prep drag scene has really taken hold in southern oregon. Since I first built this car and took it down to my local track, it has taken off and now we...

Welcome!

Painted this one yesterday. Its an Andy's body that's produced and sold by Sabula Tech. I have been buying bodies from Sabula Tech for a couple years now and the quality has always been very good. I've always loved the classic Toyota Race Team colors. MCI provided the Toyota badging decals.

This is my backup car so I havent put as much time into tuning it, but its doing a to b passes in th...

The problem with the nova and many other bodies, is the front end catches a lot of air and deforms past 50-55 mph. A body mounted splitter will make this worse. Mount the front of the body as far forward as possible and brace the area behind the grill with foam.
