Truck hits 60mph today...video on rc10talk Facebook page

Started to place electronics. My Novak 1 is pretty close to the correct time period, little older than the car but close enough. It also fits fairly well and the wiring is basically headed in the correct direction. I tried several other ESCs that I have but it was this or a Futaba MC230cr. The Futa...

Only 61mph , I know a guy who's Bruiser does 60

That's what we were saying yesterday after the Bruiser ran!...lol....both his car and the Bruiser are a handful at those speeds

Small update...Chassis has been picked...converting an old RJ Speed Nitro Pro Mod ...body has been bought..67' Camaro...2 sets of of rocket engines (D and F) on the way....2 engine mounts have been purchased...one single, one dual...both mounts will hold F and D engines with reducers...just gatherin...

Alot left to do, but here is the basic chassis setup with the dual engine holder in place....wheelbase is 12"....rear width is 6.8" with tires on...fits the body I picked out perfectly! 20230421_144827.jpg 20230421_144845.jpg With the "D" engines mounted 20230421_145817.jpg Pic o...

Don't the rocket motors shoot a charge out the front once they burn to the end? The rockets with a "0" at the end (ie. F15-0) have no discharge for chutes..the rockets I am using are all single stage rockets with no discharge...basically the only question is how fast is it gonna run, can ...

Got the car all done except the parachute system, chute timer, body....everything has been tested and works...including the rocket igniter from the transmitter...weighs 2.01lbs with ProMod body on it...I converted to single engine for now, will work my way up to the duals...this is serious stuff...I...

Great stuff, when is lift off..... err... I mean launch ? Hopefully in a week or so for initial testing! Please tell me you're recording it's launch. I want to see this thing haul ass. Yes sir I am!...but I have alot initial testing to do first.... Plus "E" engines have entered the mix......

We might lack a lot of big city stuff but the positives outweigh the negatives.
