@MrNo0nekares Yea I don't think I'd try the real thing. But these cars are pretty safe. They make everyone have a lipo sock and don't allow crazy charging of that type of battery. No prop that used to be a problem. Its so explosive and lights up so easy. Just a fire waiting to happen. I raced off-road and on-road until my legs were too shot. This allowed me to keep racing for a couple more years. I still get out to the tracks but its just to make videos now.
@waszzzzz Traction. They also have a ton of VP traction compound on the track its super sticky. And they still spin the rear wheels almost to the finish line. They also put a sticky substance rumored to be made from STP and some sticky stuff on the tires for extra traction. They are good for the first 20ft or so. After that its anyone's guess :)
@griz11 If you will notice the guys with the rails always picking up the back ends off the track. That isn't just to clear out the nitros. If you let them sit there too long they will stick to the track and cause a studder coming off the line. It can cost you the race. You take a plastic bag to put your shoes in too. They aren't worth much for anything else after a day at the track :)
@jameshoffmandude do a search for team walbern or grand motorsports. They are the two big names. Lots of people make them though. You might check out people at your local track. Make sure you get something they are running a class of. Nothing more frustrating than having a new rod and no class to run it in.
@griz11 Yea walbern and grand are good guys. I know them personally. Ran both of their cars. This sport requires a little scratch building at times but its easy to get help if you don't know how to do something at the tracks. I had all kinds of things wrong with mine the first time I took it to the track and they helped me get it set up properly before I tried to run and trashed it. Its a lot of fun.
@whiteknuckles717 It will wreck the tires pretty quick especially if they get to hopping and you don't get out quick enough. Yea right quick enough when they run 1.3 :) Its like you go into another zone when you are running those numbers. Muscle memory takes over you can't think that fast. The average it takes a person to recognize something and react is .400 sec. The same time as the lignts on the tree.
@griz11 There is a scene in another one of the Worlds videos that shows a set after a run. They are eat up pretty bad. Pretty cheap though. Several people can get together and buy a big sheet the right thickness and get them water cut into doughnuts for them to share. These guys don't really depend on a company for parts they just go to the hobby shop and pick up something close and mod it :)
@ojoj626 They were but I think they moved. They have a website in Houston but I'm not sure what the URL is. The track in San Antonio is back up and running however.
@MrGrapebook not much left of them. I haven't seen a 100mph crash but I did crash mine at about 80 one afternoon and it came back to me in a bucket :)
@griz11 And we never found the wheelie bar. There was a concrete cover over a big sewer or something at the end of the track in the left lane. The track actually curved just a bit at that point and it was far enough from the traps you were usually slowed down. However my throttle stuck one time and the car buried itself under that concrete cap dug a big hole and basicall exploded. Tiny pieces everywhere. I think it was 78mph when it went through the traps and was still accelerating.
@MrGrapebook In the video I did from Lampassas there is a black rail that crashes into a cone at the top of the track. The traps said 103 when he went past. And he'd been running over 100 all day. We all call him crash. Hardly ever makes the finals but his cars are the fastest thing out there most of the time. He's a crazy guy :)
@killerbee11111111 I learned a long time ago you can't try and please everyone with the music or you'd never get a video done. Its San Antonio for christ's sake dude.
@imjustwonderful That was the nicest comment I've saw from an electric running guy on one of these videos in a very long time. There needs to be more nice people out there like you, most people just complain and nitpick everything to death on here. I love the sound of these and the old Banshee's too lol.
These brushless systems can take hell of alot of torture befor blowing up :) I tested one out just to see what there true limit was and it was about 148k rpm :) I just kept adding power till the motor could no longer hold together I finished up at using 7S lipo on a 10.500 KV motor made by tekin 1/10
@toyotalomofo There are a couple of tracks in Tx. This track is in San Antonio and its still running most every weekend. They have a thread on rcfiles com There is also a group in Houston. Check 2coolfishing com for their info. Basically you can run anything in Bracket class where the slower of the two cars gets a head start. This track is on I-10 2 exits from the real dragstrip in SA. Ask for Kip or Moo.
@bustyboy123 Yes they are wound up tight. And sometimes things go wrong. Less with the electrics that dominate the sport now. Blown up tires seems to be the big problem these days
@jackdal39 Actually the older nitro cars would beat a real top fuel rail for at least the first 50 ft. Half track times confirm this. The electrics are even faster. Not a little bit but a lot faster. The latest trend seems to be the move away from direct drive back to belts for the electric rails. I need to get back to the track for some more video but its just been too damn hot for me to get out. Hopefully I can make the Labor Day Dash again this year.
@sean1649 132ft 1/10 scale. The real deal used to be 1320 ft now they are racing 1000 ft :( But we are sticking with 1/10 scale so the track is 132ft.
@markljesse No such thing as scale mph. Its a marketing gimmick. Doesn't make a difference how big the car is going 100mph. 100mph is 100mph no matter what. They are going even faster these days. Last Nov I think the top speed was 118. I think they are up to 122 or so these days. Brushless + lipo = awesome speed.
@Phitzgood They are pretty simple so it doesn't usually take much to get them back in action. I have totally written off a rail one evening though. Everything on that chassis was bent or warped or just plain gone. I never did find my wheelie bar. Broke the car in half. Enough parts made it to the lights to get a time and a trophy for the night though :)
why in hell has the models got all sleek and slim line body then theres a huge aireal stickin out the top corsing drag ... use spektrum radio reicver has got 4 aireals on it each one no longer than an inch
@RotorHead2652 Some of them do run the spektrum system. I had it on all my cars. But most figure why spend money on a radio that is only used for a couple of seconds at a time. They buy performance parts instead. It does look tacky though.
I do some slo mo but no speed up. They are running much faster. Last Oct the top speed was 118mph Check the World Finals video from 2009. Makes these seem slow.
@mugaMeL They are the hardest thing I've tried to film. Photographers come out all the time to try their luck. Some of that is the image stabilizer trying to kick in thinking my pan was actually an error. I try and keep it off but when I'm doing handheld its pretty much necessary.
Thank you for correcting my mistake on the footage it is 132 feet, i guess im just geting old and not paying attention like i should LOL, i keep forgeting to remove the zero from the 1320 to get a fast 132 feet or to devide 10 into 1320 feet, sorry i dident mean to upset the apple cart, ill go now again thank you David*
i was jokeing im fine, i like jokeing about my age, im very mentaley alert and healthy for a man of 60, but thank you for trying to make me feel better, but im ok David*
1/10 scale track footage is 120 feet 1/8th scale is 135 feet im not sure what 1/4 scales is, my math at 60 years old and doing this stuff for 35 years has deadened my math skills and spelling lol:) ive forget more then most will know he he?
Almost. A quarter mile is 1320 ft. So a 1/10 scale track is 132 ft. Quarter scales do run but the only ones I've seen ran on the 1/10 track. 1/8 are usually mt's and other modded on-road or off-road cars usually in bracket or bucket class. Its a 1/10 scale sport for all intents and purposes.
When I was still running a .21 nitro was the biggest. You could run any size in extreme though. Now its all electric so I haven't a clue. Check the imdra website for the rulebook
I had a rail pro mod and funny car. The rail and pro mod were nitro and the FC was electric. The Plazma Rat my pro mod was in most of the R/C mags and even made an appearance in Hot Rod Mag in Nov of '07. Only the 2nd time in history that an R/C car has graced the pages of Hot Rod. The other one was a 1:4 scale car. Mine was a 1:10 scale.
Its all 1:10 scale so the track is 132ft. Getting close to time for the '09 Worlds. I'll be there all 3 days this year checking out the action on the newly restored all concrete track.
Yes they have servo driven steering. However the geometry is way different than what you would run in any other car. You set the servos slower and limit the range for drag racing especially in the beginning. But yea you gotta steer them and its not easy at times especially when the front wheels get in the air.
i got a tamiya m-03 mini tuned up don't ask me what its got as i bought it from a freind but its good for around 75-80mph still no wear near as quick as these things there beat real life top fuelers man thats hectic!!
Last year the fastest run was 119mph. This year with the super smooth and level concrete surface there is no telling how quick they will be. In the past hitting a small bump etc usually blew up the rear tires on the electric cars. The Extreme class and the Electric Doorslammer/Pro Mod class is probably the two quickest classes.
Bring that bad boy to the World Finals and line it up. No better way to find out. I've seen a few Pede's running at LiteSpeed. Bracket class. They do quite well actually. Once you get some slicks on them and enough weight in the front to keep the front end down.
First weekend in Oct the IMDRA World Finals would be the week to go. They start on Tuesday and race until Sunday. Its on I-10 between Houston and San Antonio 2 exits from San Antonio Raceway where they have the SpringNats each year for the IHRA crowd.
By the way last year a buddy of mine from Dallas went 119mph on this track with a brushless lipo system. This year people are talking a 1.1 second trip down the new concrete track that is freshly laid.
Actually no drinking for the drivers. Spectators no problem. The cars can do a lot of damage traveling at the speeds they do and require a clear head to get down the track. So if you drink you don't drive.
Look up Team Walbern Grand Motorsports and check the imdra website for lots of info. A lot of them are scratch built. Litespeed is another company that makes them,
Lmao notice the fastest car in Texas is a nitro! Electrics don't have the torque that a nitro has.

RebelForce8 2 years ago
Different weights for different classes. I think the rails are 40 oz min. Don't know about the regular cars.

whats the fastest or biggest and baddest engine that can be put on a funny car?
jayheezy07 2 years ago
When I was still running a .21 nitro was the biggest. You could run any size in extreme though. Now its all electric so I haven't a clue. Check the imdra website for the rulebook

why limit yourself to one
Joelepp13 2 years ago
I had a rail pro mod and funny car. The rail and pro mod were nitro and the FC was electric. The Plazma Rat my pro mod was in most of the R/C mags and even made an appearance in Hot Rod Mag in Nov of '07. Only the 2nd time in history that an R/C car has graced the pages of Hot Rod. The other one was a 1:4 scale car. Mine was a 1:10 scale.
griz11 2 years ago
Its all 1:10 scale so the track is 132ft. Getting close to time for the '09 Worlds. I'll be there all 3 days this year checking out the action on the newly restored all concrete track.

can the rc cars turn?
eamonnteh 2 years ago
Yes they have servo driven steering. However the geometry is way different than what you would run in any other car. You set the servos slower and limit the range for drag racing especially in the beginning. But yea you gotta steer them and its not easy at times especially when the front wheels get in the air.

thats cool but dont show them in slow motion cause they look like toys

i got a tamiya m-03 mini tuned up don't ask me what its got as i bought it from a freind but its good for around 75-80mph still no wear near as quick as these things there beat real life top fuelers man thats hectic!!

Cool this one made Featured Video Status :) My first vid to get that high up on the pecking order.
griz11 2 years ago
its hard to tell how fast there really going in a small video, in real life i bet its wild
illbethejudgeofthatb 2 years ago
Last year the fastest run was 119mph. This year with the super smooth and level concrete surface there is no telling how quick they will be. In the past hitting a small bump etc usually blew up the rear tires on the electric cars. The Extreme class and the Electric Doorslammer/Pro Mod class is probably the two quickest classes.
griz11 2 years ago
i really feel as if my brushless 3s lipo stampede with good tires could beat most of these off the line
illbethejudgeofthatb 2 years ago
yeahhhh no
Wich car u could beat of the line? give me the clip start time

thats funny
mattman1515 2 years ago
i think i can acutally beat them, i'll just have to run the 4s HAHAHAHAHAHA
illbethejudgeofthatb 2 years ago
the vxl can barly hold a 3s w/o overheating or burninout the esc when geared for drag racing and 4s will ruin ruin your truck if not upgraded
mattman1515 2 years ago
Bring that bad boy to the World Finals and line it up. No better way to find out. I've seen a few Pede's running at LiteSpeed. Bracket class. They do quite well actually. Once you get some slicks on them and enough weight in the front to keep the front end down.

how much does theses cost
grahamhorgan07 2 years ago
They start out pretty cheap about 100 bucks or so for a chassis. Check Walbern or Grand Motorsports for kits.
griz11 2 years ago

First weekend in Oct the IMDRA World Finals would be the week to go. They start on Tuesday and race until Sunday. Its on I-10 between Houston and San Antonio 2 exits from San Antonio Raceway where they have the SpringNats each year for the IHRA crowd.
griz11 2 years ago
By the way last year a buddy of mine from Dallas went 119mph on this track with a brushless lipo system. This year people are talking a 1.1 second trip down the new concrete track that is freshly laid.
griz11 2 years ago
Anyone have any idea how much these things weigh? 1.33@100+mph is fast for anything
drz400e332 2 years ago
I think the minimum is around 45 ounces
griz11 2 years ago
Its 38 ounces for the nitro top fuel cars and 40oz for the electrics. Other classes are similar
griz11 2 years ago

faron592 2 years ago
Koford on the tires and lane choice on the track

Finally a motor sport you can do drunk!
Massively quick cars and good video edit. keep it up
discoape 2 years ago
Actually no drinking for the drivers. Spectators no problem. The cars can do a lot of damage traveling at the speeds they do and require a clear head to get down the track. So if you drink you don't drive.
griz11 2 years ago
like around 2:39 that car was fast as hell
