atomicfusion1647545515 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 So where are we setting up the new drag strip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 I think the thing uses a 1/8th scale set up, shit could get intense REAL quick with that. The $500 price tag will keep me out of the market on this until the big car is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Way back in the 80's, in the small town of Buffalo, Texas, there used to be this small shop that had scaled top fuel dragster races. I wish I recall to what scale, but they were probably about 3ft long at least. Hard to recall as I was only in the 4th grade at the time. I do recall plenty of awesome.

The $500 price tag will keep me out of the market on this until the big car is done. Is that $500 for the tree or the car? Bolink has had dragsters and funny cars out for years, they just never caught on big around here. I have a buddy in Woodstock that has been doing r/c truck/tractor pulling for years now. Some of the multi-engine setups that show up to his pulls are very intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn1647545492 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 It's $499 for the car and $199 for the tree. You can order on Tower's site and save an instant $30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewhop Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Looks like fun. So how would you figure out a scale size track for a nice race setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Looks like fun. So how would you figure out a scale size track for a nice race setup. It is a 1/8th scale care so figure out what 1/8th is of 1320 correct? I am not a math guy but it seems right to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewhop Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 105.6 feet I should have worded it better. Modern day RC cars can travel that distance in a stupid fast time. What would be the best way to determine a good size track for these cars. Is using a scale 1/8 size track best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickey4271647545519 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 The International Model Drag Racing Association runs a 132ft track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
