what kit would you recommend for a beginner in RC drag racing. I am not new to RC I've been in the hobby for 20 years but I have never done RC drag racing and would like to get into it
Dragraceconcepts.com makes the the chassis in this video. They have a new updated version of it. They have electric and nitro versions of pro stock or pro mod (short wheelbase), funny cars and top fuel dragsters. They have almost everything you need to get started.
I use Clover lapping compound. I believe this is 220 grit just cause I want it to work faster. But gotta be easy on it when lapping or you will put grooves in the shoe.
It's has a 3 speed Chrysler trans. That day the trans brake was not working so he was just foot braking it tell he felt the car move and let it go. The last pass (5.40 at 128mph) the line lock stuck on, it was dragging all the way down the track, when he slowed in the shut down area the locked up. That's why the mph was down. When they get a handle on it that car will run in the 4's at the 1/8th
