Yeah I can too,but on one forum, everbody that races oval or road course was that will be boring..not to me ,and if they sale that timing system and if it has mph,then it could take off and i see drag racing spec classes with this car.i hope the timing system has MPH,if not at least ET.and if Traxxas sells clear bodys for it and maybe softer compaundrubber tires ,it should be huge in my opinion.
Yeah Wrenchead i would be all over that too starting a drag club,wheredo you live???....
Ok guys i have stumbled onto something.. they aregoing to do all the team force cars,mike neff,john force,robert height,courtneys car...here is how i did it, iwent to traxxas.com on the front page alittle box (serach site) the part number i heard fro this RTR funnny car is 6907..So i typed it in a a page came of of links to funny car videos..sorry they dont work..but a little box comes up and it says its beeen remove ,blahablah balh..ok from there just hit your back button and a picture of the RTYR funny car flashes up in the different members cars and it will say in the pciture like ...John force edition,or Mike Neff edeiton and the picture posted here on that ad is the RTR car at the top look at the front wheels,plaus on the littel colors cars like force where the headers would stick out its not cut out.so it looks like they are going to do all the force cars...I cant wait..be very cool if people would start up drag clubs for these cars as a spec class ,like the slash..but only oin drag racing fun.:wave:
Hey Guys all the info is now on their website.these cars are going to be badass, with a switch for doing burnouts,staging an get tis launching almost like a line lock system. the chassis looks like a real funny car chassis,the body hinges.and everything.
Suggested Retail on their site says $499..which is usually higher than what hobby stores sells for iam curious what it will be ??? maybe $399-$425 ??? iam guessing.
Ok Guys have a question/favor,,anybody ho is goingto maybe start a club to run these or know of a RC track that will start a class of these please post your info on here,where and when. that way anybody who has one orwants to get one will have places to run them.
just found the price rtr minus battery 499.00 these things will be selling like hot cakes, I just deleted my ebay watch list and will be posting some monster trucks soon
Traxxas brought a Funny Car protozoa to a local track for a few launches. Im no fan of the manufacturer, but this funny car was launching perfect nearly every time. And the numbers it was putting up were unbelievable. I don't have or ever owned a drag car but i will when this one is available. Im not sure if the car had telemetry or not but i did see one guy repeatedly check hes setup and adjusting my guess the ESC , via IPad....Wireless! I was sold!!
In the far back parking lot to the left of g normans they just resprayed it with tar its smooth and stickey chris we race in the nmb mall at leta go racing on wed onroad indoors come by and check it out
i have checked that out at the mall, i cant see spending that type of money to race those cars at the mall, running oval pan cars ,and off road keeps my pockets empty, i was thinking about the drag racing though
My buddy here in Indianapolis who is a real NHRA drag racer bought one of these the moment he saw them. "HAD to have it!" he said.
He just got it yesterday!
He sent me these photos from his cell phone. The photo where its sitting next to the 1/10th scale touring car really gives you a good idea of its size!
I have 4 vacation days next week to haul some scap and rummage through the garage to find things to sell so I can order mine next week, just like that one
Yeah i hope it does take off everywhere,can you imagine a bunch of these cars with peoples own paint jobs and running some races on a weekly basis,and maybe doing a point series for the summer!!!!!!!!! Come On people lets get these cars racing!!!!!!
We'd get babes and sponsorship contracts too, right???
Here's a couple more photos from my buddy....body off!
