That's what ~90% of what my buddies rustler/slash driving is. Considering lots of those bodies fit the slash (and a rustler isn't far off from conversion)... it makes sense. The power they make these days is overkill for most platforms... so this seems like a good transition to actually using it. Judging from the pics... looks just like a SC10. May be a good second life for lots of old stadium trucks. https://www.associatedelectrics.com/...ucks/DR10/RTR/ Last edited by chevy42083; 01-24-2020 at 01:25 PM. |

"tell us what body you want to see on this?" uh how about a Dodge Dart/Plymouth Duster Man does AE ever license bodies? To me the coolest part of the drag car scene is the real licensed bodies... which this is lacking but close. EDIT: I should also add I do like this release, It is cool to see a purpose built drag car from a big manufacture. Last edited by HumboldtEF; 01-24-2020 at 09:01 PM. |

| Re: Are Dragsters are the next big thing? Associated It's hard to imagine it becomes 'the next thing'. It might on DragsterRC.com? Is crawling 'the thing' beyond this slowly- fading obscure site? I joke, but I am sure I would enjoy some RC drag racing on occasion. I would likely get into drifting sooner |

RC Drag racing on youtube is kind of funny to me. You see them take off like a bat out of hell, only to somehow loose control and smack into a curb or something at 60mph. I dont get it.

| Re: Are Dragsters are the next big thing? Associated Yeah, I doubt drag racing becomes any more than a fun new use for those abandoned SC trucks that almost everyone has laying around. About a pack worth of runs and I'd probably be ready to put it back on the shelf for 3 months.

This was my first RC drag video I watched. My immediate thought was oh hell no. That's just not for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATS_9uLsba0 | |

You don't see it as much with sanctioned racing because those are dominated by the guys who put in the time and money to do it right, but since virtually all of the drag events you're seeing on Youtube are informal parking lot races, you get a much larger volume of amatures. Watch youtube vids of guys racing on backyard tracks and you'll see video after of video of out of control, poorly set up RTR trucks crashing constantly. | |
