Drag Racing

[Shovelnoserc]

Drag racing is not oval racing. You asked for suggestions, so go with the recommendations of folks who have never done it......




.

I know most of us here do not participate in Drag races, and mainly do Oval racing. So do I, this would be a new avenue for me as I enjoy Oval Racing.

I asked for suggestions to get as many opinions as possible and make my own decision once I am ready to tackle this new challenge. I'm sure some of the guys here have valid input on a proper hull and setup for a Straight A Way run.

Will you be going from a dead stop?

I have a 1/10 scale drag boat that I sell. When we run them they we have a rolling start and have a spotter at the end of the pond to determine the winner.
This is one for the boats I built 24 inches long

I'm still waiting on a reply from the district leaders and reps. On how the Drags are going to be ran

Yes I saw your hull, looks good.

Does it come with the BIG BLOCK?
Will a pair 4s Battery Fit in the Tub? Maybe 4000 or 3300's
Any videos of it running

I just noticed F1rogers Avatar. That looks like a "dragster"

The dummy motor is a Parma Hemi They do not make then any more. I am going to build molds from the spare parts I have.

@ Randy, that's a lot of Cells. Looks like it might fit some packs.

The yellow one has rear sponsons, how are the differences between the two?

I also have a runner bottom and the new jet drive will work great in it. Or run it witha prop for more speed.

It is a older scratch built hull from the NiMh days. The rear sponsonets make launching easier, legal in any drag class. I am working on a 1/6 scale drag boats too (38 inches long) but it will be about a year before I am done with that mold.

Those are some cool looking hulls.
