[@Livlifetaistdeth]

That is next level. WOW! Thanks for sharing this. I've never seen anything like this on this scale. My friends think I know a lot about rc and I feel like my eyes were just opened for the first time. Super cool!

[@CrucialRC]

Very cool. Glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate the comment🙏🏽

[@cctoronto]

@@CrucialRC Yeah! I had the same reaction, totally new to me. Is it regional to Baltimore? Really impressive! Thank you for posting!

[@derjoh1986]

What state are you from?

[@Livlifetaistdeth]

@@derjoh1986 Utah, we have pretty healthy crawler and basher communities but nothing like that. I only know one person with a Primal nitro dragster.

[@CrucialRC]

@@cctoronto we run in Baltimore, Philly, and NC right now but they have been building a track in NY. That will be open in 2024.

[@NicCageForPresident2024]

These black dudes are the reason why these kids need fathers in their lives. We should all be having fun and teaching our kids awesome things like this. Instead of running around on the streets you can have a hobby and meet people doing something incredibly fun. These guys are all so awesome

[@CrucialRC]

I 100% agree. All dads should bring their kids out to have fun!

[@NicCageForPresident2024]

@CrucialRC absolutely. If you get your kids into hobbies it gives them something to do and like minded people to be involved with.

[@Amtcboy]

101% 👍👍👍👍👍

[@NicCageForPresident2024]

@Amtcboy I hate how a lot of people make it sound like black men don't even want to be Father's. A lot of times it's because they have very spiteful evil baby moms. I'm half native and half Polish. Even though I had to deal with that crap with my son. Thankfully I got his spiteful evil mom out of the picture. No matter what it takes seeing a father spending good quality time with their children is the most important thing ever. This is how we build a foundation to make the next-generation even better. Something as simple as getting into RC drag racing or whatever you want to do whether it's horseback riding, going fishing and camping so many different things and so many different Hobbies build a strong foundation between the parent and the child and gives them a sense of Pride and responsibility that helped Elevate them through life.

[@MBo-fz5gp]

Why did you have to specify that they are black. Sounds so silly that you think all black people do is cause trouble.smdh

[@CarsCatAliens]

Beside the racing being extremely fast, the community of people at this event seems amazing.

[@CrucialRC]

Couldn't agree more!

[@CarsCatAliens]

@@CrucialRC I saw this was in Billsville, aka Williamstown, Are there other tracks in NJ or close to philly ?

[@CrucialRC]

@@CarsCatAliens no this was in Rockingham NC. We run dragsters in Philly when these events aren't happening

[@CrucialRC]

@@CarsCatAliens this one was in Philly off Tucony St. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4uukq2ilLKopbc

[@gabrielwhite6209]

No idea how this got into my algorithm, but this community is one of the best I’ve seen.

[@richtygart6855]

One thing I learned is that if you liked remote control cars as a boy, you like them as a man. You won't find me playing with the GI Joe at my age but you'll find me out with my Traxxas Sport.

[@CrucialRC]

So true. There is something about RC. It stays with you throughout your life. I always feel like a kid again every time I pick up the remote.

[@tonym.9186]

I did R/C racing both on road and off road back in the 80s.This is the first time seeing this! Absolutely incredible! What I did notice is one thing hasn't changed, all ages of racers and friendships.

[@CrucialRC]

Thank you for watching and I agree. I've been into RC for 30 plus years and it is a great hobby surrounded by great people.

[@craigbosko2229]

That's the way it should be in all kinds of life.

[@Smarterthanyou-mthrfkr]

On board camera footage next please

[@CrucialRC]

Haha. I'll try. I have to figure a way to mount🤔

[@frisk151]

Sadly, I think nitro is pretty much dying vs electric.. I've legitimately been flying and driving r/c everything for the most part of 42 years (I'm 50).. The smell of burned notro will always put a smile on my face.. However, even being around seriously with r/c helis and "big birds" in the early to mid 2000's, when 72 Mhz znd 35 literally disappeard and electric helis were once just a personal hobby for a few.. Nothing can compare to the output an electric motor with a good "batter" can achieve.. Its probably just a matter of time until the batteries give way to Top Fuel NHORA record sweeps..

[@CrucialRC]

Nothing wrong with electric cars and they have their own class. Believe me they are fast. The electrics were breaking records down here also. Thanks for the comment👍🏼

[@Mace1000S]

Looks like a bunch of good guy, glad to see you guys having fun. I loved my years of RC racing. I miss them.

[@CrucialRC]

The best! Get an RC and come out and have fun with us

[@kevinarmstrong6957]

Those smaller ones are insanely fast .

[@CrucialRC]

Facts

[@gerardbishop3740]

Nice video brother. The big block gave me problems all weekend just couldn’t keep it straight every pass. The good thing was no bad accidents with it.

[@CrucialRC]

Always a good day if no accidents🤨

[@ModelA]

I've been doing R/C since the 70's, and NEVER knew this existed! Thank you! Looks like a great group and a lot of fun.

[@CrucialRC]

Any time! It is a different level. LOL

[@jordancoleman2402]

Has come a long way since the day's of nicad packs and brushed motors for sure.

[@ModelA]

@@jordancoleman2402 No kidding!!! I remember those days all too well. Pathetic by today's standards.

[@CrucialRC]

We had to start somewhere

[@ballsacksniffer420]

there was rc in the 70s?

[@annoyingbstard9407]

Watching from England and this looks fantastic! Does anyone know if this exists this side of the pond as I’d love to give it a go?

[@CrucialRC]

I don't think so and I would like to know this also. Thanks for watching!

[@Stock2SS]

How do I source parts and chassis to build cars like this? Looks like a nice hobby to get into when we’re not racing the real cars.

[@CrucialRC]

If talking about a 1/4 scale dragster, there are 2 ways to go about. 1 is what I run and it's a Floyd Vick chassis. He can be found on Facebook messenger or by email. The other is Primal RC. They sell a rtr kit.

[@dezbigguns1072]

I was there at Rockingham. These had better races than the pro mods on the big track beside them

[@CrucialRC]

Haha. Thanks for tuning in and commenting bro. Wait until you see the next video

[@TimothyDee1965]

I think this is a great hobby, to keep everybody off the streets and do something positive there should be more activities like this …

[@CrucialRC]

I agree 💯

[@AmericaFirst-1]

@CleetusM & @1320video needs to see this! This is wild.

[@CrucialRC]

Please share!

[@brian-te4xs]

Way cool, a good day/weekend with friends having some friendly competition with highly impressive dragsters.

[@CrucialRC]

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!

Theres some really professional set ups there. Hello from australia.

[@CrucialRC]

Wassup bro. Thanks for tuning in💯

[@paulmartin8212]

thanks for posting this. I'm retired and live in Ohio. I will be looking for next years schedule to come see a race or two. I follow NHRA and attend 3-4 of their races a year.

[@CrucialRC]

Nice! Thanks for watching and hope to see you at one of the races!

[@tallpaul9475]

These look a little difficult to keep straight down the track.

[@CrucialRC]

They are. Lol. It takes a lot of practice

[@peeposadboy]

Gonna be honest, never knew so many black folk were into rc top fuel dragsters. Lmao. But this is the shit that I like to see, not hearing about young brothers out in the streets shooting each other over some petty beef or a street corner, and some colored bandana’s. Hopefully more of the younger generation can get into hobbies like this

[@CrucialRC]

💯🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@Alex420DT]

This is badass. I wish people did this around were I live.

[@CrucialRC]

Thanks. Where do you live?

[@randyblankenship8206]

As soon as I learn what I have I'm moving up into drag racing I'm learning to crawl first then I'll run love the hobby so much thank you for your utube channel

[@CrucialRC]

That's how you do it. If you go back 3 yrs on my channel you can see where I was crawling. But being around the knowledge and fast guys I've been picking up really quick. I love the drag racing. Thank you for tuning in and commenting!

[@Tacklefinlures]

That was awesome. What’s the best engine to get for a Baja dragster and what gearing should I start with. Great video

[@coloradostrong]

Ask Greta the Urchin.

[@CrucialRC]

Depends on the track length and class. Most will run a 34cc from Bartolone, OBR, or esp and run a single speed around 19/55 to start then go up or down from there.

[@chrisd3884]

This is so cool. I had a COX Dragster (string line) as a child, but his is awsome! The drivers should pull that mat back out from under the wheelie bar!

[@CrucialRC]

Thanks. I agree. There's usually a mat guy that does that but he was a little distracted.

[@Railrider765]

I had Ford GT. Let dad fire it off till got old enough not to be scared of it. That sucker would MOVE!! Clocked at 0- 45MPH on 125' string! oh the days. 😐

[@CrucialRC]

@@Railrider765 nice!

[@dawhoda1]

I always wanted to get into rc on this scale as a kid but just never knew the right people to teach me the trade, as a teen I had decent money to throw down too so that wouldn't of been a problem.

[@CrucialRC]

Never too late. Come on out. Plenty of guys that will teach you.

Never knew. Didn’t take me long to hit subscribe. Keep ‘em coming, way cool!!

[@CrucialRC]

Thank you for the sub! Appreciate the comment!

[@christopherknight1851]

Im from Maryland and i have a dragster but its old lol im 40 now so its been a while but i would love to get my 15 year old boy into doing this. I spent a lot of childhood at 75-80 my mother had a pinto tubed out with a 302 that ran 11's at the track. now she has a 70 chevelle 454 ls6 and in the 25 years she has had it, its never been to the track. i miss that old way of life and your video brought back a lot of good memories. who knows maybe one day ill get the old RC out and dust it off lol

[@CrucialRC]

Hey Chris. That's cool and thank you for the kind words. I live in Maryland also. What part are you from? There a lot of old dragsters that run. Bring it out. I will help out anyway I can. Unfortunately the onroad season has come to an end but we could link up some time and get yours running. I'm 45 and been in the race scene also. I have a 67 Lemans w a 454 in it. You can email me at [e-mail]

[@active1508]

The race @28:00 then the slow mo replay! If you listen close to the car in the near lane it actually has the cadence and cackle of a real top fuel car at idle. You can literally watch the car go into tire shake like the real deal. Then the Pro Mod 57 Wheelstand. Not too mention being held at the home of the super bowl of no prep. Nitro Funny Car @20:16. Love the NASCAR Track in the background too BTW. @Just too FU*%ING COOL all over!

[@CrucialRC]

Thank you. I truly appreciate you tuning in and commenting!

[@riddledj3468]

What are the rules around engine size and modifications? You could go wild with it and have a bunch of fun doing so. I imagine there’s some rules, although electric one was in the middle of gas ones I think. Have to say, gas ones seem more alive than electric. Not hating, but if I was into this I’d go gas for sure.

[@CrucialRC]

There are all kinds of rules depending on class. Just like full size NHRA. For instance the 1/4 scale outlaw class engine size max is 34cc. Extreme class is any size engine and can use NOS if you want. Anything goes in that class.

[@madsgrandad5558]

Never seen this before. Always loved RC stuff, but didn't know there was Drag Racing of this type. This is next level! Love it!! And the people are top notch.

[@CrucialRC]

More to come!

[@aswarrior6365]

This looks like a fun hobby and community to get into. Never really seen anything like this before but it all looks so dope.

[@CrucialRC]

Thank you. Hopefully you can come out and see it in person one day.

[@sdb3039]

My thoughts exactly

[@SevenWelt]

Hello, Very cool video!👍🏎 Nice greetings from Germany!🖖🍀

[@CrucialRC]

Thank you and thanks for the visit

[@mapexzildjian6361]

Do y'all use camber caster or toe in and out on the front wheels?? Seems a slight toe-in would be very helpful.

[@CrucialRC]

I try to get as close to zero toe as possible. There are no camber adjustments on my cars. Everything is zero camber.

[@mapexzildjian6361]

@@CrucialRC Just curious, some cars ran a perfect straight line and some were off. I assumed the ones going straight had a slight bit of positive toe in.

[@CrucialRC]

Possible. You also have to make sure the car is pointed straight down track and the wheels have been centered. If not you will fight the whole way down.

[@importantvideos4529]

What's the length of the track? This looks like it'd be a blast.

[@CrucialRC]

132'. Come on out and enjoy it with us👍🏼

[@NicCageForPresident2024]

That would be cool if they had parachutes that pop out

[@CrucialRC]

Oh they do. Check out my buddy Smurf dragster. He has a beautiful car with a parachute. He uses it all the time. He wasn't able to make this event but he's in all of my older videos of onroad drag racing.

[@the_g9456]

This video showed up in my queue. This is incredible. Are these guys all engineers or what? This stuff blows me away.

[@CrucialRC]

Great! Not all engineers but all enthusiasts. None of these cars are raced right out the box. All take a little modifications to be able to achieve these times. Thanks for watching

[@TheMichaelBeck]

Absolutely amazing r/c cars. Good to see guys out having fun. Cheers.

[@CrucialRC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mattdrewes1096]

This is absolutely insane! I've only owned a rock crawler rc. I can't imagine messing with this stuff. They have more power than a go-cart it seem like 😂

[@jordancoleman2402]

I got into racing short course trucks at a local dirt/outdoor track years ago and gotta say the RC community is filled with some the coolest most welcoming people I've ever met.

[@CrucialRC]

I totally agree 💯

[@johngalt97]

Are any of these 2 strokes using some sort of variable exhaust pulse timing like YPVS, or rotary valve intake, or intake resonance?

[@CrucialRC]

Not that I'm aware of but I don't know everyone's setup.

[@mustnotsleepmustwarnothers6463]

That kid pedalling when the other car crossed lanes was sweet, future driver for sure.

[@CrucialRC]

[@tacofry4768]

At this point im waiting for them to roll up with a line locker on the front wheels 😂👌

[@CrucialRC]

Haha. Primal RC actual has a mechanical line locker for the front wheels of their body car dragster.

[@lawrenceannunziata2849]

I have it on one of my Rails already

[@importantvideos4529]

What sort of speeds were the smaller ones hitting, as they certainly seemed like they were flat out hauling. Impressed, I've never seen anything like this before, feel like I've been missing out. haha

[@CrucialRC]

Haha you have been missing out. The small ones were around 100-115mph

[@lawrenceannunziata2849]

The small cars can reach speeds up to 100 mph on a 132 ft track

[@tomcoryell]

They must be difficult to steer at those speeds.

[@CrucialRC]

They are. It takes a lot of practice.

I started flying RC in 1969. I have to say this is very exciting and fun ! Just keeping the darn thing going strait down the track looks like a major challenge (:

I used to race gas powered cars back in the late 60's and early 70's in Tustin, CA. We called it Larwin Square International Raceway. We ran them down lines and had a starting tree and trip lines at the end. We used to drill out the ports on the little Cox engines and used model car bodies on custom built chassis. Lots of fun for us kids at the time! I ran a Volkswagen Van.

In case you didn't know, as of January 1, 2024 your small gas engines will no longer be 4 sale in the state of California. That's the First step. Pretty sure if Democrats get their way, you will be using electric motors or rubber bands to do your racing before long. I own a small engine equipment shop in California, I will no longer be able to buy any small engines 4 sale below 725cc (25hp). Per California AB 1346. Google it. They are coming for our fun in America. Choose wisely when you vote...you get a thumbs up from me. Bad ass sport

[@CrucialRC]

Unfortunately I've been following that closely and am upset with what has been happening in Cali with small engines. I'm not sure what I would do if same happened here. 🤔 Would I get an electric dragster or make a 725cc one??? I think I would go for the 725cc😂

[@mikemacdude]

The boys are serious. Wicked. Had no clue this sport existed. Gotta share this one with the bpys

[@CrucialRC]

Thanks!

[@jameslownds2053]

Very cool to watch. Controlling these cars looks very difficult. What I want to know is what's the official length of the track and was some prep applied to the track for extra traction?

[@CrucialRC]

This track is 132' and was prepped similar to an NHRA track. Rubber was applied, tires dragged, and chemical track bite was sprayed for multiple days. Thanks for watching!

[@Paufit]

@@CrucialRC 132'.......is that scale to the cars same as 1/8 mile or 1/4 mile??

[@CrucialRC]

@@Paufit 132' is 1/5 scale of an 1/8 mile track.

[@Paufit]

@@CrucialRC so the cars I see in video are all 1/5 scale ?

[@CrucialRC]

@@Paufit no there are all scales in this video. 1/10, 1/8, 1/5, and 1/4. 1/4 mile is 1320' and 1/8 mile is 660'. You can make a variance for 132' from all of those scales. Another example is 132' is 1/10 1/4 mile(1320'). So the 10th scales are running equivalent to 1/4 mile.

was that the fastest?? and are they all in different categories?

This video is only qualifier races. People are not always going their fastest. It's all about getting a time for the next days ladder head to head races. Yes there are approximately 8 different classes.

[@HarmonRAB-hp4nk]

electric are much faster considering they have almoast an unlimited supply of torque.. gas engines tend to spin because they have to be at 2000 rpm to develope any torque :-(

Sounds about right. Nothing like that snap crackle and pop gas gives you tho. Thanks for commenting!

IDK why ppl aren't converting the mini V8 or mini v12 engine's for drag car's and RC cars.

[@CrucialRC]

Too expensive and I believe 2 stroke is more power output size for size.

[@myleghurts3546]

This is my first time seeing this event and it looks so much like the best time ever a guy can have! Can the lanes be a bit longer perhaps?

[@CrucialRC]

Thanks for tuning in. Depending on the area the track can be 132, 165, or 330 feet. This event is a sanctioned IMDRA event and most of their races are 132'.

Come out and race with us.

Dude, I am beyond a beginner!! I've never owned an rc car in my life yet. #2- I'm on the other side of the continent. I'll keep watching for certain. One part which really moved me was the father and son team...they win every race for me just for showing up together and enjoying the same activity.@@133levi

Track lengths vary depending on what event you're going to for example, IMDRA events are 132 feet, BROOKLYN, large scale, and angry great events are 165 feet, St. Louis STL drag racing is 330 feet each track requires different set ups for your car

That was really cool! So no one is doing great with the battery cars in rc drag racing? Though their where more powerful then nitro? Note hating here..👌👍👊❤️

[@CrucialRC]

Yes there is one guy named Ken that has an extremely fast electric dragster. I don't think I was able to record his pass because I was busy getting ready for my Qualifier pass. Keep in mind this was only a qualifier video. The head to head is still to come.

Too cool

[@CrucialRC]

Thank you and I surely agree 💯

[@RobsRocketTimes]

That's some of the coolest drag racing I ever seen. Miss my bolink dragster bigtime.

[@CrucialRC]

Thanks. Get yourself a Floyd Vick chassis or Primal and come out with us 👍🏼
