I guessing that thing weighs around 30-35 lbs or 15-18kg.....so with 6 hp engine it would be a 5:1 power to weigh, or there about. Which gives you a better power to weight than a Z06 Corvette. About the same as the Ariel Atom. But either way it will have major style points.

no problem...i think it should go ok...i think it might go better if you could hook the brake up on a seperate servo so you could have like a line lock like 1:1 dragsters have and then you'd be able to rev it up and get a better launch....jmo....

and if you find it's going a lil to fast for the area your running and can't get it slowed fast enough i could do a scale chute for it...i made one befor the worked awsome..like i said let me know

ya that will be good because then you can rev it up and have like a line lock....if i build a drgster(1:10) i think i'll do that too..even if the extra servo adds a lil weight it will be worth it with the way better launchs

i think it should go better as well
 
make sure the extra servo is like on a third switch that way it only controls the front and once youve stopped at the line flip the switch locking the front wheels then when the light gos green flip the switch off and let er go
