Now if your running Sanctioned races or no prep you made need to check rules on traction additives. ![]() Such as Wd40 for rubber tires and Belt Conditioner for foam tires. Also, there’s stuff you can use to enhance your tires traction. In most cases and on most surfaces a good foam tire or belted rubber tire is going to be the way to go. This also goes back to my first tip to see what people are running. Having a stupidly fast car is nothing if you can’t get the power to the ground. You want to go fast obviously but if it’s making to much power it’ll be hard to keep straight. The second tip would be don’t overpower your car.It will also give you an idea of what power setups and tire you should be running to be competitive. It’ll give you an idea on what class or scale of car you should build. Just watching and talking with the guys doing it will teach you a lot. First would be go to your local spot and check it out.Now that we’ve gone over some chassis’ here are some tips for you if you’re interested in getting into R/C drag racing. With the most popular models being from Losi (5t, DBXL, DBXLE) and the 5b from HPI. Both electric and gas variants run at our local spot. Not as popular and 1/10 and 1/8 but still worth noting. Lastly, we have 1/5 scale cars and trucks. Most of the 1/8 you’ll see racing will be high powered electric cars. Team Losi has its 8ight and 8ight T models. Popular models from Arrma are Typons Talions and Kratons. Parts support is high for most of these cars and trucks due to their normal use for off-road racing and bashing. Very durable with tons of possibilities for go fast stuff. Lastly for 1/8 scales, you have the buggys and truggy based builds. Popular choices are from Hobao, Serpent, and Mugen. They’re AWD big touring cars essentially that can handle tons of power. These resemble 1/10 short course trucks and 1/8 buggys in a lot of ways when it comes to chassis size and layout. Examples are made mostly by Serpent and Mugen. These are typically high dollar cars and even used will still cost a pretty penny. First is 1/8 onroad cars, AWD belt is driven cars in nitro and electric that was made originally for spinning high-speed laps on a road course. We move onto the 1/8 scale stuff which is split between mainly three types. They come as two main types, belt driven cars like Hpi Sprints, RS4, Associated TC3, TC4, TC5, 3racing XI sports, Traxxas 4Tec ect and shaft driven cars like the new Traxxas 4tec 2.0 Tamiya TT01, TTO2, Vaterra V100. Touring cars can be found all over and easily acquired for cheap on the used market. Lightweight, all wheel drive cars can be made into small ballistic missiles. Last for the 1/10 stuff is what I personally run which is 1/10 touring car. Mix that with a ton of car and truck body options and you have a recipe for a personalized go fast machine. Due to their size and durability, they can be packed full of power and made to be very formidable drag cars. Next would be 4×4 Sct builds with the most popular being 4×4 Traxxas Slashes and other Short Course Truck builds. They’re affordable, easy to modify, and have a ton of aftermarket parts available along with tons of info on builds and setups. Most common are Traxxas based buggys and trucks like the Bandit, Rustler, and Slash. There are 3 main scales that race in our local scene that are most common:ġ/10 gives you a few options as far as setups and chassis layouts so we’ll start there.įor 1/10 scale cars, there are a few different popular styles. With as many choices for platforms to build on, you’ll want to choose the right car for you and we’ll talk a little about your different options.įirst thing you want to consider is scale. The concept is fairly easy, build a fast car and be the first to cross the line right? Not quite. So you wanna go fast? Love drag racing but can’t afford a real drag car?
