What a drag...
 

Charger body for the Savage and a handful of HPI parts. :mrgreen:

Thats awsome!!!!

will it be nitro or eletric? im thinking brushless.

Nice. But I still think that body would look better without the poop scoop on the hood.

It'll most likely be powered by a Novak brushless...if I decide to yank it out of the FM1-E. :lol:

is it gonna be a dragracer or a road car? looks pretty sweet.

what chassis are you using homemade ot store bought??

Agreed!

I thought about doing something similiar but was thinking about using a maxx diff on the front with drive shafts and attaching a disc brake (from a t maxx possibly) to the output shaft on the diff and using a servo to lock up that disc/diff similiar to line locking so I can light the tires up :mrgreen:

Looking Good jason.
what chassis are you using?

Im thinking of getting this one.

not really sure Im going to get it , only time will tell

Sweet ride! I say paint it up like the one on Joe Dirt.

LMAO. I shouldnt have showed u all this :D

looks awsome bout time we see some chargers

Frakk,
This will be something to drive around in the street and make a few runs against the local guys with thier "Nitro is better than electric" cars. ;) Not a dedicated, full-on drag car, but just something fun to goof around with.

The chassis is from the HPI Super RS4
Rear suspension is made of narrowed parts from a HPI RS4 Mini
Front suspension is mostly from the RS4 Sport (and still needs to be narrowed)

The rear suspension will be locked solid and I'll be using a 71 tooth belt from the Pro 3 instead of the standard 54 tooth rear belt. This is so I can move the 2-speed farther forward and clear the tires.

Oh yeah, there's also an electric 2-speed going in. :lol:

rindean,

I'm just using the Super RS4 chassis. Didn't want to drop a ton of cash on this so I'm just using what I have available. What I don't have I'm making. ;)

How fast do you think it'll go?

Not sure. I'll have to put the GPS on it when I'm done to find out.

...and no, I won't be taking it off any sweet jumps. :lol:

how about a 7t cobalt in that bad boy? :D

Here's my GMS Funny car I just finished last week.

This thing is sweet, in my opinion I would go with a really low turn motor and and a novak h8-28 ESC (I think thats the model name). It can handle anything from 8 to 28 cells, or maybe a tekin 420g2. I have learned that in clod buster drag racing that typically in a short distance the brushed motors spool up much faster then the burshless motors. Just a couple of weeks ago at the Monster Bash in PA, I was watching my friend Brians clod buster called "Dragula" raced a brushless emaxx, and his truck was killing it. He ran a 10 cell matched pack and 7 turn motors on a cyclone :shock: trucks is rediculous fast.


If you are going long distances then go brushless but if you are going scale down 1/4 miles go brushed :twisted:

BTW the 2 speed sounds SWEET :mrgreen:

I've got a 6 single here but don't want to use it in this car. Want it to be driveable. :lol:

This isn't intended to be a full-on drag car, just something that will be quick enough to hurt the feelings of the local nitro guys. I used to race RC Drag cars years ago but got out of it. So much money to spend for a 3 second run. :lol:

Here's the 2-speed. :flipoff:

Now that is sweet, That thing is definitely going to be putting a hurt'n on the Nitro guys ;-)

Jason, How many cells do you plan on using?
