First drag car!!

[Ritz413]

Tracking said not till Thursday....but here we are

Been a bit since I have been this excited fir a build project. Drag cars are not something I have taken a run at before.
Tracking also said there was a weekly giveaway in the box....what it really is

This certificate with a qr code for an entry into the weekly giveaway....I hear there is a $100 store gift card....I am sure I could figure out something to do with that.

That Made in USA stuff looked too good on the box to pass on this....

 

[RippingLegos]

Man, you're making me want to get one now lol

 

[Ritz413]

Step 1 complete....about the best directions I have seen so far...

 

[Tunedfrog]

Looking forward to seeing her finished.

Looking good!
One think I've always loved about the bolink/ rj speed kits are their simplicity.
Do yourself a favor and once you get a servo on there, measure and get proper tie rods/ends vs the included wire ones.

I can't remember if these kits come with proper servo mounts? On the legends I raced we just used 3m double side tape to mount them. On this nice flat chassis id be looking for some Ae aluminum servo mounts.

Motor and esc claims to be out for delivery.....but first....getting the layout how I want it.........@!/#**!!!

Really I am just wasting time, moving things around. waiting for the esc to confirm I have space to put it where I want it....

Great looking kit... good luck with it!

Let's go boys!!!!

 

[Ritz413]

Getting this out of the packaging is 1 step on its own...lol

 

[Ritz413]

The first actual problem with this kit so far....I should have some washers I can use to replace this. As far as bad new parts go this is not a deal breaker

 

[Ritz413]

My washer have slightly bigger od...

But present no clearance or adjustment issues

 

[Doom!]

Nice save.

There are actually uses for cut washers like that on occasion. Hot Trick used to use some similar 10000 years ago. Maybe hang on to that til you finish the build.

I don't know if they do or do not sell similar esc and motor... just curious if you'd tried jennysrc.com for price and avail?
They are great, the gear IS new take off, not some kid's 3weeks used 'newly wiped off' junk!

Good call with the larger washers!

Those tires look AWESOME!!!

Thanks for the parts lead! Quick run to the hardware to sort out some chassis mounting issue....

 

[Ritz413]

It's gonna be a little bit before this sees the first test run. Just gonna take my time....stay focused on things that matter....like cable management. Even so ...it's never too early to find the spot where this thing goes....

I picked up one of those sets on clearance from Tower a couple weeks back - hard to say no at $49.
