My RC Drag Car

[pengashwebb0121]

looks amazing!, what wheels do you use? and how much did the whole thing cost?

[Mudgrove]

@pengashwebb0121 Rear wheels are from go kart (fronts) front wheels came from an electric scooter.

not 100% sure of cost, as so much time was spent making stuff for it.

[pengashwebb0121]

@Mudgrove thanks im thinking of making one witha chainsaw engine, mainly for fun and scale looks. r u on rc burnout forum?

[midnightneonmatt]

@pengashwebb0121 i was just gonna say before i read what the owner put...go kart tires!!! haha killer

[Mudgrove]

Thanks - no it's not for sale right now.

[zachbmxskate]

looks sick u selling?

[coolman603]

awesome song man !!

[Mudgrove]

@coolman603 Thanks!!

its Judas priest "heroes End" from album stained class

[balak121]

nice how did you find a chain that would fit the chainsaw clutch.

[Mudgrove]

@balak121 I cut the saw chain teeth off the clutch bell, and welded a 35ASA sproket on.

[vickishortland]

U should get one of them RC V12 or V8's in that. Would sound alot better than a single cylinder petrol motor.

[joshdadrumma362313]

i got a drag camero

[Mudgrove]

well done!

[thenaturalone1976]

That is NASTY as hell man

[Mudgrove]

Thanks, man. I took it out for a little run the other week...not bad.

Some little adjustments, get the chute finished, and cameras will roll....

[420witchdoctor]

Link up 2 brushless 5.5T motors to that bitch and hotwire them with lots of juice, since it's only being run a short distance. Insant power cut as soon as you let off, too. That would be sick.

[hairyalien]

Yah oh yeah.......

Put electric motors in a 7 foot dragster.

That would be awesome.....NOT!!!!!!!

A beast like this needs to ROAR.

Electric.

Pfft.

Would be like watching a movie with no sound.

[420witchdoctor]

Wow, you obviously don't realize that electric motors have an insanely wider torque curve than a gas/nitro engine. And yeah, the Tesla supercar? That kind of shit can be done on scale. I don't know much about electric motors in RC cars, but I do know that it would haul ass if it's built right. Learn something before you denounce anything.

[hairyalien]

Yes I do know that electric motors have huge torque and are fast if geared right.

I never said anything about that.

Just that it would be lame to have a large scale RC car like this one without the noise of a 2-stroke engine,

I (unlike you) know that this car is being built as a long term project and as a working model - not to break any speed records.

I also like how you say you don't know much about electric motors in RC cars and then tell me to "learn something"

[420witchdoctor]

Alright good point, and I take back what I said. You're right that a well-built 2-stroke is almost unbeatable on the acceleration. I would know, I like dirt bikes :D

[Mudgrove]

we'll be going for a spin soon enough

[420witchdoctor]

I'll be watching avidly. Rail drag is sweet!

[rccarkidcrazy8]

bad ass you should driv it

[lilrichie582]

[karlsonvomdach1995]

nete schlechtz

[TheSpartanHunter]

nice

[xbox4life952]

wow man nice car

[JohntheHarleyGuy]

What song is that playing in the background of this video

[Mudgrove]

Hellrider by Judas Priest

[ArticFox48]

u should put like a dirtbike motor in that then it would fly!!!

[bbgunfun08]

r they go kart tires the rear 1ns they r huge on that thing

[Mudgrove]

Yeh, front Kart wheel/tyres are my back wheels.

I made the hubs from billet, & the axle is S/S steam pipe

[quattro19tdi]

nice..!

[arow884]

where did you get your front tires n rims? the rears look like the small road go-cart ones, correct? im currently looking at building either a dragster somewhat like you have there, or a buggy, 1/4 or 1/3 scale

[arow884]

oh, and what about servos?

[Mudgrove]

Fronts are from an electric scooter called a techno.

Smallest pneumatic tyres I can find.

Servos are Hi tech 1/4 scale jobs with Aggressor FM radio system

[Mudgrove]

Gday colin,

should work at hi torque for lo RPM to get my "hole shot" after that, revs will be double that of a chainsaw (engine used Poulan 44cc)

[colintheshit]

outstanding! the pipe tuned to wot rpm?

[clophie]

What's up Muddy, some people don't realize that you built this whole car from scratch. Talk to you later. FuNkY mOnK QSL

[Mudgrove]

Thanks mate...your cars look way cool, too!

[Mudgrove]

Mate, been 'glassing a body shell; it's starting to become flat. I'll make a quick vid soon of where I'm up to.

[clophie]

What's up Muddy, some people don't realize that you built this whole car from scratch. Talk to you later. QSL
