I Want to Build a Go Fast RC !

[snellemin]

I keep my driveshafts parallel to the ground. The body will sit lower on mine. I have no clue how stiff the body will be at high speeds. But I might have to add body stiffeners behind the front fender well and in front of the rear fender well. The rear wing will be my main issue. I'm just hoping the Hacker can deal with my nonsense.

Post some photos guys

I only have parts for now. Roller shipped today. The seller put 4 new driveshafts on it before shipping. Can't complain there.

I will say, I have the GRP tires in soft. They are some sticky!!!

Would it be to much to ask for a linkypoo ?

I was checking out Dynamite brand 1/8 scale street tires yesterday at the LHS, they're inexpensive and very soft. The price kinda scares me tho, consdering they might just vaporise with the set up I'm plannning on ?

Those will be too sticky, unless you dragrace or run on a real dragstrip for your speedruns. If I would get those, I would need to invest in the RCM slipperential.

I second that!

I purchase the Soft compound.

I saw them blow up not too long ago.

You mean lincypoo? I thought it was the concensus that he was my lincypoo. I guess I'll share, but I'm watching.

It sucks that the group you're with aren't being responsible. I hope the driver that hit the bystanders gets to pay for that guys hospital bill.

When I see that kinda crap I take it upon myself to tell kids and bystanders to stay out of the way. I'm actually a dick about it, but it gets the point across and keeps people from getting hurt.

I also tell wreckless drivers in no uncertain terms that at speed r/c's are more of a weapon than a toy.

Speak up dude! Instead of losing a good spot and a good time step up and organize things. Most people are followers and won't even mind

That is what I do. It's hard to find a good spot to do speed runs, so step up. Put up boards like I do. Keeps the goofballs in check. And it's true that most are followers and will end up helping you. When I do find time to race, I setup the boards at my LHS parking lot. People just offer to help setup and tear down. The longest part is sweeping/blowing the dirt off and spraying soda down.

I'm hearing what you guys are preaching but I only attend this scene a couple times a month plus the crowd is mixed with a bunch of wanna-be thugs/punk ass kids whom arent gonna want to hear this. I couldn't possibly consider wasting my time with these jackholes. Last night was a lesson learned by the parents whom had younglings in tow, the kids were chucked into PU beds after that incident. A lot of people (whom had a some common sense) were shocked to see how these guys were hurt and I'm sure their driving habits and RC courtisey will hopefully improve ?
The action comes in waves, sometimes there will be a 20 or more idiots going at it doing their own thing all together and five minutes later no one is running. I'll just have to carefully pick and choose when I run and when I test it'll be much earlier when the crowd is thinner. I just need to get my own radar gun so I'm not dependant on the other guys.
