Real slot dragster little dusty from sitting but this is something special. 1962 last year it was run at the strip. Since has been restored and it’s real pice of history. There will never be a price tag on this one will go to the grave with me 😊

Yup I'd leave her be .. Its in such good shape for its age I would be to afraid of accidently dorking something up getting her fired up..
 
Agreed and she will fire up one day but never to race. Thank you for all ur comments. It will stay a shelf queen it’s earned it’s name in the past. I have others I can beat up. Just actually bought a 1/18 scale witch is very small to me but big things are going to happen to it pics and progress I’ll share. It’s going to get broken sad to say but if I have anything to do with umm 🤔 you guys should know me.
And here is this one I’m scared to fire up. It’s on of a kind fully custom built it’s no joke and any rc guy will know if I bring this out umm chances of a race far from none and don’t make me bring out the TRAT that’s one that I have in my books that will run for it’s money.
Alway be careful what you ask for. Go big or go home that’s me. They don’t call me crazy lil Rob for nothing. Just saying lol.
If any of you can pull a front engine mounted RC I would love to see it. Most people can’t. I got started by my Rat that was believable as this my sound from a toaster all metal front engine built split header to dual pipes. Few guys here know what I’m talking about. The car is fast and it’s taken it’s beating big bock head milled down and so on. So anyone wants to give me a run for the money 💰 I’ll put that one out there and it will run ugly as fiddlesticks but nasty as hell. For a RC guy this one scares me so TRAT is the name I have because of that build. I can give some secrets but not all of them lol

This is a peek what TRAT is about and scary thing is I have built big block from a machine shop that did the work fresh engine it’s a no lie bored ect. And I my put that in this with a built 2 speed trans. All billet all custom built let’s play lol
It will be the ugliest car you will see but she’s definitely no joke it actually scares me. I’m not the scared kinda guy but this one there is something wrong with it. When you hear it it’s like poop run it’s loud and stupid fast!! It’s been in few wrecks as it killed me to have that happen but it’s a survivor and will be. I know have some cool poop and it’s people like all of you that make it happen and keep our kid dreams going. I’ll never grow up that’s just me and no reason anyone here has to just enjoy stupid things in life and ur not hurting anyone so live it.
It had to have a electric fan to keep it cool it dose want to run hot. When you put and over stroke a engine and cut the head down it means more heat. It’s not a bad thing just how you can control it. Nitro is a cooling fuel but can run very hot. How do you make it work?? That’s one my little secrets

Ok here is what I can tell you I have over 10 nitro motors here some need a lot of work. I use to drag race real life poop. You have to have ur knowledge and time/patience. I could teach you that every day I deal with bigger things in life that people would not understand let’s just say a engine over 1 million dollars one that I have to play with. It’s a life and kids will kids poop I’m 43 and I’ll never grow up.
I can teach you but it’s up to you and some the guys here might say different but trust me I’m the guy people are scared of because I can and will do it

I’m a different level guy than some will say and judge me for that and I’m good with that.
