Speed of 6. I like it

A little faster then before.( Other infraction) My new build 6s 1st time running it hard. Long way to go to catch up with others.

Making progress. Lowered ride height and changed center diff fluid. What other changes are recommended? Infraction all stock electronics.

Best thing you can do is get it launching straight. Gear it properly for your desired hit type. 0-40 you wanna gear for about 45mph. For 132’ or 188’ hits you wanna gear for 80mph. I find that when my rear diff starts warming up it will start launching sideways. Let it cool a min and it will go straight again. I can’t keep spools from breaking, so I’m running EXB LSD diffs with 500k.

I noticed the first few runs are best. After 3 or 4 it wants to go left. I gave upon spools for now. Using stock 46 center with 27 pinion. When I run I usually bring 2 cars. On occasion 3, so I let them cool down. I will drag one and bash the other. Ordered foams that is next up. I am going to look into getting better with suspension and camber and toe etc....Looking into exb lsd diffs ....now. And thanks.

Surprised by the different launches. Some full throttle and some 1/2 to3/4 for a second or so then full throttle with surprising results some runs quicker. Less tire spin I guess.

If you get your gearing dialed in, you can just rip full throttle of the hit and hold on. That’s how I’ve been able to get down to 0.940s on a 0-40 hit and what I believe is the best 188ft time too (2.690?)

I was able to pull these on the Mojave with the speedrun gearing. As I just discovered this thread, I originally did mine in 132ft on 6S.

Can’t wait to start this new drag build!!

So this is for 's and giggles...

What's the correct distance for 1/5 scale drag ??

For some weird reason they mowed a line in the field near my house so I thought I'd try some off-road drag runs on wet grass

I believe a 1/5 scale 1/4 mile would be 264ft.

1/4 mile = 1320ft
1/5 scale (1320/5) = 264ft

 

[BashingBrian]

I'll give it a go next week 264ft we need a new category 1/5 scale drag..!!

I’m in!

 

[BashingBrian]

@ABabyEater ... are you listening we need a 1/5 scale off road category added..!!

 

[Notoriousone]

How about we get the current list updated first before adding new classes.. my two best runs below with my stretched Typhon 6s drag car from a month ago.. I posted up but the list was never updated

 

[ABabyEater]

My bad guys, the last bit if summer has been absolutely whack. I'm going to try to get it updated this week, but I'm starting a huge project at work so we'll see.

 

[Notorious J]

Do I get on the list with this? First attempts at drag hits for me. 6s 6800 120c Typhon lwb

I also had a 132 ft pass buy I guess there's no category for 6s

Heck yeah! Love seeing new people getting into drag! Those are ok. Your 188ft time is kind of low but your top speed is impressive. You mush have had trouble getting it off the line. You might want to gear back down so you can get off better and work on the top end as you go. I bet you drop a full second of your ET dropping down a few teeth on the pinion.

Honestly, I was just trying it out after doing some speed runs. I noticed that it was hooking up okay while messing around and decided to turn on the GPS. Today was the first day I saw burnout tracks left by my car
