Hey guys and gals. Finished the restoration, bench test and test run of my 2009-2011 RC dragster. Full prep car. Custom chassis out of my RC shop. 1/10 scale with 24in wheelbase.
Body is Walbern RC nitro wedge. Power unit is period original Novak Ballistic 10.5R brushless, Novak GTB ESC. Substituted in for the original ThunderPower 2S x 5000 LiPo is a ProTek 2S x 4600 HV Graphene LiPo 'shorty'.
Radio system is original Futaba 3PM-FM crystal-control radio/receiver combo with HiTec metal gear micro servo.
Background on the car: Originally designed and fielded for the Electric Top Alcohol 2S full-prep class, she eventually migrated through Bracket Class ending her career in the 2.5sec Index Class. Too slow for T.A., too fast for Bracket, but just right for the 2.5 Class.
During her career she posted 2 wins, 6 final rounds and a career best 1.943sec E.T at 70.2mph.
This was a fun resto. Brought back a lot of good memories. Thanks for looking in. Cheers. 'AC'
