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

A name and links would be nice thank you in advance.:thumbup:
 
It's a Sonic or a Fusion or a Vision. It could be by GS. I know GS Makes the Vision.

Edit: Vision has a .12

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.

if you are curious about accurate top speeds, please click the link below to review the thread when we did an offical speed test:

I know a cop personally with a Police Release Radar Gun and a regular radar gun. Both can clock my cars but Id rather not because I like believeing my savage and Rs4 can reach 40mph nad 50mph. We all know what we expect will end up being 10mph slower.
 
AT MY LOCAL TRACK THERE IS A GUY WITH A 4-TEC AND HE THINKS HE IS THE SHIZNET WITH SPEED BUT ON THE TRACK HE IS SPENDING MORE TIME HITTING THE RAILS THAN HE IS RACING AROUND THEM. THE NTC3 WILL KILL HIM. ITS' ALL ABOUT THE DRIVER..NO SKILLZ ..NO GAME..NO GAME ..GO HOME. SO YES THE 4-TEC IS HELLA FAST FOR DRAG RACING BUT FOR COMPETING I WILL PASS ON THE 4-TEC. NTC3 HAS TO BE IN THE TOP5 FOR ME.:fro:
 
jon2 - good post - but please dont use all caps - it means u are yelling, and is quite rude. Thanks.
 
oops sorry bout that one. I am so use to writing that way ..caps are off!!!
 
hmm i have a .21 racer 2 that goes est. 70mph. call it bullshit all u want but wait till u see it in person. 23/37 gearing with a .21 is pretty fast. and btw I'm not claiming i would woop anyone on a track. heh. but i bet i would spank u all on a drag strip. heh heh.:shrug: :shrug: :shrug:
 
Do you have the Schumacher? Please tell me you do. I'm dying to get an actual persons report who owns one. That, or the new CEN with the 3 speed and a .21. I'm looking for a drag machine too ;)

Hey Nitro tc3 - The new 4tech comes with a high horsepower output 15!! The rtr nitro tc3 comes with motor that is not as powerful as the new motor in the 4 tech. I would find out which motor he had in his 4tec before I raced him good luck. Oh the fastest production car out of the box right now is the fusion 21.
