Thanks for the heads up!

[@12R1rcbashr]

Awesome freakin car man it looks amazing very nice been thinking of getting into the RC drag racing I have a Slash 4x4 vxl sitting around collecting dust would love to build it but 4X4 thinking of the DR10 & start there oh well happy bashing bro.

[@FullThrottleRC]

Thank you! The DR10 is a great starting platform

[@forrestrc7461]

Thanks , great simple upgrade. That YENKO look Freaking great, good job...👍😎

Thanks for doing the experimenting so we don't have to! Worked great!

[@FullThrottleRC]

Sure did! Thanks!

[@chuckbareika5478]

I took some rubber tires off a 1/43scale nascar die cast inside of some bearings they even say Goodyear eagle #1 on them and have not had a problem with them yet

[@Bakatanabe]

Them tires! Genius bud! Overall great video. Appreciate it!

[@FullThrottleRC]

Thank you! I found the idea for the tires online so I can't take all the credit 😜

[@norcalrc]

due to the shortage of tires available lately , i had been thinking about trying the 2.2 ‘s . Thx for the info, i feel more confident in experimenting with some other sizes now

[@FullThrottleRC]

Glad I could help! I like the 2.2s for No Prep

[@morris4069]

How did the tire balance change after you belted them? I used to race touring cars on asphalt with rubber tires, even the factory mounted belted or capped radials tires were needing balanced. Seems like not being balanced would show its negative effects shortly after launch. Even in 1/10th scale aerodynamics plays a big factor on how a car handles. The flat n square front will be faster pushing the air out away from the body, IF, you can keep it down. The more wedge or rounded bodies will create more downforce with more drag, slowing you down. Tune to the body you plan to run, changing bodies will not have the same handling characteristics even with like type fronts ends. Run “x” body, and have a spare.

[@FullThrottleRC]

The tires are still pretty balanced after adding the belting. The start points of each layer are 180 degrees apart so that one side isn't heavier than the other. I did try balancing the tires afterwards and the difference was so small I didn't even worry about balancing when I replaced these tires. As for the body situation, I find the Nova body produces more drag with its blunt nose, but the main difference is in the launch. The C7, with its pointy nose, keeps the front end down while the Nova liked to wheelie until I added a splitter. Downforce is actually really important in drag racing. At high speeds, we need a lot of force pushing down on the car to keep it from "taking off".

[@barneymiller7894]

Cars leaving straight and staying off the bars 👌

[@FullThrottleRC]

Yep! Going to try to get a little more wheel speed off the line

[@UDRC85]

Awesome vid. Just got the new dr10 drag car. I love the no prep stuff.

[@FullThrottleRC]

Thanks! It looks like an awesome platform. I've been pointing everyone asking me about no prep builds in the direction of the DR10. May have to get my hands on one, one day.

[@UDRC85]

FullThrottleRC thanks fir the info that you put out also bro. I subscribed to you channel because of how you explain your work.

[@UDRC85]

FullThrottleRC I did a quick unboxing of my dr10.

[@Cobalt.tarkov]

This is a great video I’m trying to get a slash or bandit so I can build a car but no luck so far so I’m gonna keep looking

[@FullThrottleRC]

Thank you!

[@Haugalandet]

Hi. Great video. What was it with the belted tyres that did not work for you? I was looking for belted tyres but now I'm not sure anymore....

[@FullThrottleRC]

I just felt the belted tires were too stiff. They work well when you get up to speed but for me, there was no give in the tire for the launch

[@nd4656]

I love the pro mod bodies! You should get a 41 willy's pro mod body, those are my favorite.

[@FullThrottleRC]

Thanks! I don't believe anyone makes those just yet unfortunately.

[@danielsmith-ze3wy]

✝️🇺🇸👍 good looking car

[@FullThrottleRC]

Thank You

[@andrewwhite2863]

What did you have to do to make the c7 pro mod body fit? I am having problems fitting it on my sc6.1. The front wants to hit the hood.

[@FullThrottleRC]

Im not sure, I didn't have any trouble. I've used the SC body mounts and the DB10 mounts and they both worked fine

[@customfastrc7671]

When you say torque limiting, do you mean the punch control settings. There is a torque limiting adjustment also in the castle programming.

[@FullThrottleRC]

Not the punch control. There is a torque limiting function but you have to perform a motor test before you can use the function

[@customfastrc7671]

FullThrottleRC Thanks for response. I am familiar with both settings. Nova paint job came out awesome. Ive been racing the Slash 2wd for a few years. . You inspired me to go with associated platform. Went with the rc10 b6.1DL and bought the sc6.1 chassi. Took the same path you did. Very happy with this set up. Mid motor seems to be better. I will find out in the spring. Thanks for inspiration.

[@FullThrottleRC]

@@customfastrc7671 Glad to hear!!! Thanks for the support

[@jayroberts1297]

good job on them tires what do you think would be a good more powerful motor then the trinity one?

[@FullThrottleRC]

Trinity makes a few lower turn motors but I think this motor still has some more power in it!

[@sammygonzalez7627]

You can use the glue that comes with bike patches kit

[@FullThrottleRC]

That's the stuff I was trying to find but couldn't find at the time!

[@MoBay876rc]

Like #106 great video

[@FullThrottleRC]

Thank you!! 👍

[@MikeyDolan]

Where did you get those bead lock rings? I have the same rims but the red ring! Your ring is soooo dope!

[@FullThrottleRC]

The wheels in this video are the Proline Titus 2.2 beadlocks. These rings came with the wheels, they are black with Proline, USA machined into them. Proline #2713-15, unfortunately they are discontinued, but the 2.2 Faultline is very similar. The main difference being they require a center hub.

[@bigbendrcdragracing3538]

Looks great!!! What are you hoping for 2.5s ET?

[@FullThrottleRC]

I'm not really sure. I was topping out at around 47mph with the old motor so I'm hoping to be in the 50s at least. Not sure what to expect ET wise yet

[@bigbendrcdragracing3538]

FullThrottleRC I just tested my Drag slash for the first time, with 2s fastest pass was 2.81 @ 49 mph, I did have a 50 mph pass but was slower ET

[@petecasano9631]

Got another question bro. Can you make one of those rear shocktower extensions for a b6.1 rear graphic tower?

[@FullThrottleRC]

I don't have a b6.1 so I wouldn't be able to make one unless I could find a model of the tower online to design it around.

[@manuel39164]

Hi brow how do You brint The weeli bar holter for The b5 how i Fount them i haven't a printer thx Good car

[@jeffbryner5355]

I just bought the mamaba x controller but have yet to get a castle link. What does the torque limiter do?

[@FullThrottleRC]

From what I've noticed, it helps reduce the amount of torque the motor can apply which helps with launches. I didn't care for the launch control function much but maybe I just needed to experiment with it a little more.

[@jeffbryner5355]

@@FullThrottleRC oh ok. I race dirt oval with a sc6 and some supersoft de tires and they turn into pizza cutters real quick lol that should help me coming out of the turn to the straight away. Once i hit that throttle it gets squirrelly unless i ease into it.

[@FullThrottleRC]

@@jeffbryner5355 It very well could. I'm still learning what it can do myself. Good Luck

[@petecasano9631]

What compound are those primes you are taping? M3 or m4.thanks bro

[@FullThrottleRC]

I'm running the clay compound which I believe is MC or M3

[@MTCKIE68]

You need to let contact cement dry first. It holds way better then.

[@FullThrottleRC]

I guess it's because this was a cheap kind but I found it wouldn't hold the drywall tape in place if I let it dry first.

[@MTCKIE68]

@@FullThrottleRC Maybe so. If it doesn't feel tacky when it dries I wouldn't buy it anymore.

Thank you!! You are 100% correct about it being a guessing game. I try to get the best footage I can so that viewers can try to see what I'm doing, but there's no way for a viewer to get a feel for the weight of my car or how that weight affects the car. I will say slow motion video not only looks cool, but it's a great tool for tuning!

[@FullThrottleRC]

That esc is wired to run 2 batteries in series, meaning you could plug 2 2s lipos into it to run 4s or 2 3s lipos for 6s for example. If you wanted to run a single battery you would need to remove those connectors and replace them with one connector using the red and black wires coming directly from the ESC. Hope that helps!
