The hobby shop was Bandit's in Darlington, I raced pro mod years and years ago, then the track got a buckle in the left lane. Not sure if the owners ever fixed it.

Clean If you're affraid to lose it because of a wimpy switch, why dont you use a switch-trigger from one of those 24V dewalt or "insert other company name here" drills? those would-should be heavy duty enough to handle that much power.

It's not just the fear of a switch sticking. With the Mamba I can program everything. I can control roll out just like 1:1 drag. I have a lot more options with the Mamba. It doesn't really effect weight. This truck is just a tad over 43oz RTR. 40oz is the legal minimum in my class.

I have had a peddal fest before! If I had been running just the switch that wouldn't have worked!

Here is the old body. I moved the stickers around on it. I started to do the rivets around the windows and wing when I said bump it, time for a new body! But here, this will give ya what you want to see I bought the same body. I'm still masking it off and waiting on some mask to get here so I can paint it.

Thanks guys;) But remember I didn't build the chassis, I bought it that way. I just turned it into a drag truck Changed the wheels and tires, all electronics, new body (Almost done!), wheelie bar, new bearings, new rear axle, new spur, aluminum hubs in rear, and a few other things;) But thank you for the complements!
