[stevew]

I'm hoping that someone might know of some rc drag racer's around here.

well I found a guy that has like 4-5 dragsters I am going to build or buy a drag bike. I think we could find enough people to have some fun with it.

Sounds interesting, I would build or buy something to drag with.

I used to drag..it died out here through the late 80's and the 90's...mine was a pro stock on a modified RC12 running 18 volts and handmade silicone tires...the chute was my favorite part of the build and it worked everytime....Id probably get back into it with enough guys and a location to run....too bad we cannot get onto the old Stapleton runways. ROcket cars are a freakin blast too...4-5 D motors and a little luck and maybe your rig wasnt a lawn dart. The bigger short burst high thrust motors you can buy now would be much better...come to think of it I can still smell what burning L.A. Gear's smell like..

They still rc Drag in colorado. Goto either COLPAR HOBBIES. ive seen flyers there. Or if i were you ide build an RC PULLER which is HUUUUGE in colorado. Goto 5280pullingclub.com my crew just helped TIM CASE (who co-ran the hobbytown west rc crawler comps with mad success) and they had 40 plus pullers It was the most fun ive had iba long time... My crew is in the process of building a puller to compete with them boys..

[stevew]

puller's look fun but i want to go fast for once.
oh and thanx for the heads up on the flyer's

With all the crawlers and pullers around, maybe there would be a interest in sand drags. Look up "rc sand drags Kapaa" on youtube. Looks pretty cool!

[The Crawl Space]

Those sand drags are pretty cool! Gotta hand it to the hawaii boys for comin up with something fun to do in the sand CHEE-HOO!!!

The MRC axle, i was talking about before, setup with 4 link. I still gotta mount the shocks and cut a slot for the driveline to come through the back of the chassis, and then mount a locked pede tranny on it. Then Im off to work on the front end, I got a couple plans for it so far but nothing concrete.
