Update time...

I was held up on a few parts for this for a little bit. Now that it's pretty much all here it was time to get it closer to completion. Gonna be racing it next month.

After like 4 months, I got back to this thing. Front shock fitment was at a stand still, but I decided to use Optima re re shocks. I mocked up a bunch of stuff, but the best way to get the shock in and keep it from hitting everything on the front end was to lop off the SRB mounts and make a fibergla...

After last night I was pretty motivated to get the front end set up. I kinda cribbed off of 1300GT's steering set up, but used some MIP Rc10 steering arms. I wanted to set the servo off to the side so I could move the battery around or use a long pack. I don't know where the weight needs to be. I ca...

Here are some pics of most of the parts for my custom works 92 build. Waiting on my axles to get here as well as wheels and wing and some misc hardware. It has new tub chassis, factory works towers and top deck, 2mm pitch belts, aluminum bulkheads, new associated shocks, new diffs, custom steering b...

Hiya everyone! Been in the hobby since the late 80's with my Tyco Turbo bandit and use to race it in a short lived Bandit class at the B&I Raceway in Tacoma WA and at the Tacoma r/c Raceway -> then Kyosho Outlaw raider (which I still have the pieces from) -> Team Losi JRxT truck that was convert...

On the old rocket car I had they ran a couple brass elbows off the front so they could stuff a parachute in it. I doubt it worked well, but it sure looked funny

Looking good, I'm curious to see how this transpires with a more modern and well thought out design.

I've never seen colored engine adaptors.


My car used the ejection charge to deploy the chute by grabbing a clip upon ithe engines departure from the car.

Hard to go wrong with double D's

You can bet that it'll end up with one giant "F"

Speaking as a village idiot that launched a model rocket horizontally once, you're definitely going to want brakes.

Also you might want to move the rockets back a little bit so you're not turning your axle into a rotisserie, those things burn pretty hot and it may warp/damage the axle

We only had cardboard tubes and rings as engine adaptors. That looks like a good chassis for a rocket car. Looks like a Pro Stock and a Legends kit had a baby :lol: I'm sure it would be easy enough to get Jeff to make rocket specific side plates with holes to experiment with rocket placement and thr...

I'm curious how your charge timing will work out with two parallel motors. Will you be launching with on board ignition or a conventional starter? Additionally, it looks like you could cut an eccentric slot at the front motor mount bolt, so that you could angle the mount up or down to experiment wi...
