I got rid of my rc18, which I'm sure would have been the fastest thing out there. Identical set up has done upwards of 80mph! I just didn't have the aerodynamics figured out. That being said I think my cyclone with a 10t will move on 2 cell lipo. Ryan if I were you I would do something with your 12th scale. Lots of downforce on that one. Still up in the air if I will make it, will know shortly.

Default RC Drags

We only have 4 drivers that registered, and are definitely coming. If we don't get more registrations over the weekend we will have to cancel. The Drag Wars Committee are somewhat disappointed that the RC Community in G.P. are reluctant participate and do a show. Monday, we will cancel if necessary, hopefully more drivers will register over the weekend.

Unfortunately we need definite registrations this weekend or we will have to cancel, we only have 4 drivers registered and that is not enough to put on a good show. If we get more drivers registered this weekend we will do the RC Drag Races.

Well, just blew up whatever was left of my center pulley test driving my cyclone drag race setup. Doubt I'll have the parts in time to run it, but i'll still run the XB8.

Unfortunately the RC Drag Races have been cancelled due to the low registration. We only had maybe 4 drivers.
