What is the fastest Nitro car out there???

[NitroTC3_2spd]

i was just wondering if a Nitro TC3 with a two speed can out run a Nitro 4 tec?? i mean drag racing??

 

[mjime714]

What engine is in the NTC3 and what gearing are on the cars?

If you are talking out of the box RTR, I have to say the 4tec because that 2.5 is a fast engine. Take them to a track and the NTC3 will rule the 4tec

 

[NitroTC3_2spd]

they are both still rtr butta the TC3 has second gear?? I'm hopin to race on epretty soon??DRAG racing or course racing?? the TC3 sounds fast enough

 

[mjime714]

the nitro 4tec rtr also has a 2 speed.

What gear ratios should you get in order to be able to have a quick off the line start and a really good top end???

Don't count out the new schumaker 3 speed car, 80mph, I think.

4tec is just fast in a straight line. On a road course, 4tec doesn't have the balance needed I don't think. My brother had one and I was running my Mugen. His was fast on the straights, but I left him in the turns...

 

[NitroTC3_2spd]

wow? how great i don't even know my gear ratios on my TC3?? all i did was install it?? it ain't as fast though but i think i need help on tuning it?? TRU TRU its really fast on cornering??

If you got the TC3 for drag racing than you got it for the wrong reason. Besides, it doesn't take any skill to mash the trigger and go in a straight line. Find a track and go racing!!

I personally think my friends HPI is realll fast because it flys in the air when it reaches full speed(uncontrollable). I still havent tuned mine from breaking it in.

lol, if your beeing serious then he needs softer suspension :marshall: or needs ne sweep the road he is running in to aviod pebble and such lauching him in the air. I love watching my car flip because it ussually doesn't stop. It's funny.

Umm Nofx why are you posting this same post twice?
I remember seeing this somewhere else.

 

[SilentHunterKellen]

hey Nofx, are you a Ld3 obsessor? Almsot everyone of your posts is about the Ld3, even your signature. Just curious...

Here now here now! I believe I've been mistaken......

LOL!

Drag race I'd say 4tec. On a course the TC3 is the better car.

I agree. although. My NTC3 kit has killed a couple "clocked at 70mph" 4tecs.....(whats up with most 4tec owners claiming to be clocked at 70?.....they must all be claiming someone elses 70mph run)......anyway

RTR vs. RTR......the 4tec is going to win a drag. Any time there's a race, there is sure to be some drag racing in the parking lot or on a near by street. Rather than worring about a loss, just get out there and have fun.

I run a O.S. Hyper CV-x .15 and its a great track and drag racing motor. Plus these go for as little as the 2.5's .....but you don't have all the problems of a 2.5. And I'm on stock gearing.

I've noticed several things regarding "top speed".

first - i hear alot of "clocked at" quotes, now i dont know about you, but there isnt a 3000.00 radar gun stuck in my toolbox, and i dont think every person knows a cop personally. i am going to call bull on about 99% of those "clocked numbers".

second - about 3 months ago - we had a cop radar about 10 cars at our local track, and these were very well tuned, and set up for racing. most were going between 40-55mph with cv-r's mt 12's and rossi's in them. so i highly doubt that a stock out of the box 4-tec will ever hit 70, unless it was regeared and tuned so lean that it was running 320 degrees.

finally - top speed tests? so what? how long can u run top speed? 2 seconds? all about handling and acceleration, my friends, as that is what wins races, wheather it be at a sanctioned race, or just around some cones in a parking lot bash session.

What is the fastest stock sedan? I want to get an onroad vehicle, and I don't race professionally. I just want to drag race.. Thank you in advance. :n00bie:

 

[SilentGTboy]

There is a kit with a .21 and a 3 speed you should look at then
