There are a handful of us down here that have started to get serious about our drag racing. We've been meeting up a few times a week and doing test runs and some arm drop racing. Starting to get dialed in pretty good and everyone seems to be getting faster every time. I think it won't be long before...

It looks like Casey is officially calling out the 541. Can't wait to get up north and race with you guys.

Do the CI foams cut down on the tire expansion as well as the bands? It seems like we're all trying to get the same result, but I've seen a bunch of different ways to get there. I tried a ring of gorilla tape around my foams. I was very exact about being doing it, but in end, it took a ton of weight...

Thanks Jeff!

Yeah, a buddy I race with just got some. We plan on testing them soon. They don't have one listed for the DE phenom tires yet. I ordered some foams from crawler innovations and im hoping they will give a similar result.

I received my Fantom 4.5t Pro Mod Drag motor last week. Got it installed and made some other upgrades while I was at it. Mostly just swapping out traxxas parts for RPM parts. The motor is everything I was hoping for and then some. I have a very mild tune on it and a bunch of softener on the bottom e...

Finished the new wing today. I really don't think the one that came with the nova body was doing much.

It's sort of funny when you think about it. Weeks of stressing over parts shortages, countless hours of planning, building and testing. About $1000, and the ol'lady is frowning at every penny. In the end it all comes down to a moment less than 3 seconds long that ends with your toy car being just a ...

Pic of me and and a buddy of mine caught at the finish line.

absolutely.

So there was a good debate discussion at my lhs yesterday over the "interpretaion" of the 2021 rules for NPRC. They seemed pretty simple and straight forward to me, but there was a about a 50/50 split of opinions over the "4 holes anywhere on the body not to be more than 1/2" dia...

Welcome to the forum

It's on backorder, like everything else, but is supposed to be in stock by the 20th. I'll let you know how it goes.

The super light cars seem to be too erratic. We had some pretty good wind gusts during yesterdays race and some of the cars were getting blown out of shape or worse. My heavy pig didn't notice a difference. I just need more horsepower to move that weight to the finish line a little faster. I just or...

lolol. nice
