MY RC Drag Car - Testing today

[blacklight0304]

Excellent man what scale is that  if you dont mind

[Mudgrove]

@blacklight0304 Hi

I was planning for quarter scale, but it's somewhere closer to 1:3rd due to getting carried away!

[1950dodgefan]

Were did u get the differential at or is it home made I want to build one

[Mudgrove]

@1950dodgefan Hello

there is no diff. Solid axle with sprocket & chain.

A Skellenger is way too much money for me!

Seeing as I won't have to drive round corners, who needs a diff anyway?

[Heirokos]

There's no such thing as stupid questions....just stupid people xD

[skaterloganhunterwil]

wat is the reason for the wheelie bar

[Mudgrove]

really? isnt it obvious.........

[ReturnScroll]

lol at that question

[sk81630180]

@skaterloganhunterwil ummmmm lets see its pretty self explanitorie wheelie bar ... to stop the car from doing a wheelie IDIOT

[johnyfido]

very kool. again i know nothing about drag cars, but i take it that not turning much means no need sor servo saver on the steering?

[Mudgrove]

I hope I can get away without a servo saver.

Time wll tell I suppose.

No need for a diff, that would just do my head in...kept is all as simple as possible.

[Mudgrove]

Forgot to mention, We're up to 35kg these days with the body & wing. She's getting fat.

[johnyfido]

maybe 2 chainsaw motors would help with the extra weight?

[helerrr]

hi

why not buy helmet camera

like ContourHD 1020p

its best for incar or head helmet camera

plus its HD too..

nice rc car!

[Mudgrove]

Can it handle the "shakes"? The helmet is on top of the cykinder head, motor is solid mount, so there's lots of vibrations

[g0fvt]

Not being a hater or anything, but looks like wheel balance is going to be an issue. Lovely project, well done.

[Mudgrove]

No probs, it was balancing there, so wheels wobbled quite a bit. Front wheels have been balanced, rears might need a little fiddling with, yeh.

[hairyalien]

Was that you cursing at the end?

[Mudgrove]

No mate I think I coughed up half a lung.

Lots of smoke, eh

[hairyalien]

Haha ok.

Fair enough.

[420witchdoctor]

Hell yeah man, can't wait to see it move.

[Mudgrove]

Thanks...I know a bloke who is handy with the camera; when we get together, there will be some pretty good footage.

I gave it a run in the street today, the turning circle is OK (wide though)

Gave the throttle 2 stabs (one after the other) this has more poke than I thought.

Broke traction both times.......cool

thanks for watching

[420witchdoctor]

Nice man, cannot wait to see. Are those kart tires on the back? Maybe try experimenting with different tire setups.

[30GB]

try to get someone help film it
