This looks fun.

 

 

I already have a motor I can strap in this bitch and wreck shop :gabe:

I want one

I want the tree... I'll take on anyone for $20 with my corvette.

So where are we setting up the new drag strip?

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.

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.

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.

It's $499 for the car and $199 for the tree. You can order on Tower's site and save an instant $30.

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.

105.6 feet

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?

The International Model Drag Racing Association runs a 132ft track.
