I considered a drag car during one of my last binges on speed, but the parts are few and far between. I also like the idea of the "land speed record" style, where you just run all out, building up...

Vehicle types for high speed runs.....

I've had the speed bug hit me again (it comes and goes), and I thought my 18T would do the trick. For whatever reason, the lust I had for the truck going super fast isn't cutting it, I need more. ...

My ESC's in both of these vehicles are Quarks, and I do have the failsafe mode enabled on them. I had it enabled when I was testing too.

So I just got a new Nomadio React, and a Spektrum Micro Rx (Nomadio can read both DSM and the new faster Nomadio mode), and I am amped up, I had SO much space saved with that setup in my 1/18th truck...

I figured it was 8 pounds loaded with the nitro stuff, so if you dump the engine/pipe/tank, servos, etc., then add in the electronics, I was thinking about 9 pounds or so.

RPM for MGT - save your dough

It isn't bad in any way, it does what it says, but the stock ones do the same and cost less. Also, there are issues with suspension travel limits with the RPM arms, you need to grind them, or Dremel...

Truck was 10.6 pounds without motor, mount, ESC, BEC, and battery. So, you can probably get close with a guess. I'd say 13.5 pounds. It's heavy but not ridiculous, I felt a few all aluminum trucks...

I ran it a few times in test with 1 x 9.6v pack, and once with 9.6v packs in series for 19.2v. No melting, Lexan is tough stuff.
