New project going to make it light as possible for next seasons Drags..................................................

Teaser shot:

Some updates waiting on some parts I thought I had...................................This thing is super light so far cant wait to weigh it out as a roller...

Working on the Stealth trans now need to swap the shaft to the other side and put some bearings in her........................

Trans is fresh added a Pink gasket to match the vintage Pure Tech battery strap.







Modified motor plate









Looks good.................................

Rolling chassis is complete need a different scale very curious how light, my scale stops at 500g.

Waiting on the body you guys are gonna love it. I’ll get better pictures tomorrow with some sunlight.

Getting ready to mount the body.....................................................ProStock

Got the body cut out and dropped it off with Andys Paint, cant wait to see it...................................








Still waiting on my new digital scale, very very curious what she weighs as a roller and complete car..

UPDATE

Major update on weights, acquired a 4 corner scale and got some new numbers. Above numbers are invalid and I will edit accordingly.


Fully loaded with all electronics and battery minus body

1140 grams or 2.57 pounds

RTR body weighs 165 grams
1305 grams or 2.87 pounds

My 68 camaro mid mount DS that I run now is 1624 grams or 3.58 pounds.

Waiting on photobucket to get back online so I can post pictures.

Alright back in action:







On the scales:

Went to the first SDRA Drag Racing TNT for the new season and the DS did quite well. Mind you I have never ran foam tires before dont know how to prep them and all the other things that go along with it lucky for me all the guys there are very helpful. Borrowed some tire sauce, cleaner and went at it..........................

First 3 passes went great slowly crept up with the timing and brought the punch up to max on the first 3 passes, tried something different on the last pass with the suspension and gave it more timing that didnt go so well off the line with the suspension mods...........................................

1st pass: 2.81 seconds @ 50.2 mph Punch level- 7 Timing- 0*
2nd pass: 2.42 seconds @ 49.7 mph Punch level- 9 Timing- 3.75*
3rd pass: 2.39 seconds @ 54.2 mph Punch level- 9 Timing- 7.50*
4th pass: hard right............
