Nice, will have to check that out.

That looks like a nice fresh drag strip. They are building a Dollar General right behind me. I hope the lot is big enough we can "borrow" part of it every now and then 😉

Wow. You have got a lot done in my brief absence.

Man, the Exotek sure is impressive!

A Bandit/Pinto is our next build 😉

It is for no-prep, but it is designed to fit the Traxxas Bandit or Associated SR10 chassis. Chuckworks RC is supposed to be coming out with a chassis to fit the Pinto, but it will be using Bandit parts.

The Pinto body wheelbase is 11.25". You'd have to have to get a different chassis.

That looks a lot better!

Actually, having very little contact on the front tires is best to lower rolling resistance. Typically, in drag racing, you air the front tires up as much as possible to lower the contact patch.

Play with some spacers on the upper link. Actually, looking at the geometry, you won't be able to dial out any camber that is added with suspension travel. The upper arm is traveling at a different radius. So it is always going to add negative camber as the arm travels upward. But camber isn't...

You don't need a servo saver on a drag car really. I mean if you crash, it would be good to have. But the body will absorb most of the blow anyway. I don't run servo savers on any of my buggies, and they are open wheeled.

That is just bump steer. Your front suspension shouldn't be moving that much anyway. Bump steer isn't going to be too detrimental on a drag car since it will mostly only see flat surfaces. You will want a bit of droop in the front suspension so the front wheels can try to stay planted as the...

Can you make a video of what you are talking about?

Looking good man. I spent the last 2 days prepping and masking the body, and I still have a lot of masking to do. I decided to do the trim around the windows in chrome, so just masking that all off with my old eyes has been a challenge. Still have to mask the bumpers in, so hopefully tomorrow I...

My very first car was a 65 Mustang. It was missing the grille bars in the front grille that extend off each side of the horse corral in the center, and I was too poor to buy new ones, even if I could find them. My dad had a badass woodshop and lots of high end hardwood. So I traced the shape of...

That looks much better! I may have to chop the spoiler off ours now!

That looks awesome.

Very cool. So the sway bar obviously helps, but is it adjustable? Like can you increase the tension with some adjustments? Love the white as well!

I kinda like the idea of slowly building a car from parts. I think if I were going as far as you I would have grabbed the DRC chassis and built it from there, then grabbed any stock parts I need from Jenny's. But you will end up with darn near a second car out of this, so that's a bonus to...

Awesome. I haven't messed with anything on my son's DR10 yet. Probably after we get the Slash done we'll give it some attention. Just watched latest vids. It was hard to see the numbers on my phone. Will check it out in a bit. Did it look better with the sway bar?
