How to get into RC no prep drag racing for cheap

[@DFthepolarbear]

I got my husband into RC racing after having wa baby and covid still creeping on us. I wanted him to get out the house and have a fun hobby. His brother in law has a team here in NJ so hubby joined . I went to a few of the races and now I’m hooked and I wanna race too.I would be the first female on the team and in south Jersey but I don’t know all that much about cars or RC cars yet so I’m trying to learn as much as possible that way I don’t look clueless lol plus I wanna have fun and win money!

[@triplexrcgarage1499]

I'm just getting back into this. This is definitely good for getting away from the misandry in the world right now staying mechanically inclined and ready to build a winner.🏁

[@toddbertram6556]

A little tip, if you use skate bearing or whatever on your wheelie bar you can clean the bearing and slowly add tool dip to the outer race to create a nice little tire. I do it all on my lathe but it can all be done with a drill and some sandpaper. Mice soft rubber that can be sized and replaced at will. They have a bunch of colors if black isnt cool enough. Ha. Anyway, easy way to do a rubberized bearing for cheap.

[@triplexrcgarage1499]

Wow that’s a great idea but I already bought the Traxxas replacement wheels I have to keep that in my mind on the future. Thank you for watching and thank you for the tips

[@warmfreeze]

I just wrap a layer of electrical tape around them..

[@dondagy9109]

Thanks for taking up your time to show us this. A bunch of great info.

[@mildtowildrc7343]

Man I love the no prep and have the same gearing(76/31) in my C7 promod and fast as you want and like you said just watch your heat!Gets hard to handle on the top end but fun to drive and launch is incredible.

[@triplexrcgarage1499]

Heck yeah sounds awesome. I’m loving the no prep also

[@rcmindset2876]

Love that you go for it. Respect everything you do.

[@triplexrcgarage1499]

Thanks sir

[@mildtowildrc7343]

Also use wheel weight and put on the chassis behind the front bumper to help keep on ground.

[@gpaje]

Nice video thank you! You may want to considering going 32 pitch spur and pinion, more durable, easier to set mesh, and cheaper overall. Leave the cover off, not needed with 32P gearing on slashes. We run that way in the sand, not an issue on the street.

[@tingokuman]

I'm with you friend I never understood bashing. When I was a kid back in the 80s it took us wayy to long painting tamiya bodies for us to tear em up. Love that blue nova body !!

[@robertruiz5417]

It's truly an amazing category of RC racing your video is excellent

[@flyingfortressrc1794]

Another great video, Thanks. I'm totally loving the new Jconcepts Grand National body for drag cars..

[@triplexrcgarage1499]

Yeah i saw that 🤔 I may have look into that one.

[@cows1990]

Wow I bought a wheelie bar from the same guy on ebay. But it broke in a crash so I need to get another one from him. He is looking at making aluminum ones with sliding door wheels. Great video i SUBSCRIBED. My channel is new I uploaded a Losi video but my heaqd was cut off most of the time. I'm still learning, I do photography for SHELDONS HOBBYS. Rock on dude.

I like the nova...my nova is same color 👍 i just got into it also

[@triplexrcgarage1499]

Awesome it’s fun

[@astronomysandwich375]

If your running a 3.5t motor you will be better off and and have alot more tuning ability if you run a 90t spur and a much smaller pinion and then use the motor timing to get some more speed back in it

[@mikeinvegas1]

I bought a fully built bad ass drag car.. havnt used it yet and think I'll sell it. Has nick bell r1 system. After watching a bunch of videos it looks complicated. Set ramp on the m17 all the programming. Only couple passes in full battery. Plus tire prep. Seems takes alot of time. Not just picking up a remote and having fun.

[@lloyderc]

I’m going to try to run 80 rear and 40 front in shocks. I also put front shocks on rear. I can’t wait to do some test hits. Waiting on diff locker and rear extended shock tower

I would recommend watching src KZbin channel. They say run a body your not attached to. Test then run good body but the shocks have to be compressed and let rebound back to ride height.

[@dougvance-k6k]

Fyi on diff lockers. The Hot Racing diff locker for the TLR losi 22s drag car does NOT fit properly. It's too short. You'll end up spinning one end out. I did, twice. That's when it hit me. I took the two lockers with one good end and one bad end on each one and cut approximately 1/3 of the bad end off of each one, then milled (sanded rapidly...lol) them down a little at a time until they both fit perfectly, cut end to cut end and put them both in diff. Originally I got 2-3 passes out of each one before they stripped. I've had these both in for a couple of months now with zero issues. Just good info to have I guess. Maybe you can pass it on.

Very cool, I may look into these. Was into crawlers and short course a while back, sold all my toys. Looking to get back into crawling and then started noticing these drag racing ones, seems pretty simple too and its more about technique and tweaking than 'buying the best parts'. my only critique is i had the laptop sound and the youtube volume all the way up, could still barely hear ya! ^_^

Used to drag race a fox body before everyone started going turbos or nitros. Still love racing so might get into this after I'm done with a camaro project car. Anyone in the 601 area code doing this kind of racing hit me up

[@jdev2144]

How much would you charge to build a one of these for someone.

[@ronwingfield8739]

Where can I find NPRC rules & specs re chassis & suspension design, components & fab? Are there limitations on the motors & power supply? Can RPM & torque be adjusted independently? Are there any motor builders that will build a motor to custom specs? I'm thinking about the mechanical theory employed in the fastest & quickest standing start race cars on the planet. It appears that earning potential justifies a substantial R&D investment and I'm bored and I've always felt that winning requires innovation not imitation.

So a slash or a bandit. What about a rustler? All I have is revos and rustlers.

[@toddbertram6556]

If you run a locked rear end your tires must be the exact same size, just like in the real world. Most guys have to shave or cut tires to keep them within a couple thousandths of one another. By this point you will most likely be running foam tires

[@triplexrcgarage1499]

That’s good to know. But no no prep drag race rules restrict foam tires

I haven't tried to build a RC Drag car but I looked at some rules and watched your video. Are you using a Cap Pack? I would think ripple would be a huge problem in drag racing. Not just to make you go faster but to provide constant voltage.

I’m looking at getting a XL5 Bandit and Slash LCG chassis, already have bearings I can use as well as a VXL System, get the MJ body mounts for the Stampede so you don’t have to try and source the proline mounts AND don’t have the big hold down nobs that look like big, ugly warts in place of body clips. The only thing that might get pricy is the body and rolling stock. With the XL5, you could even run the standard radio since that one doesn’t use the gyro system in it.
