It's just your average daily driver that runs 5.60s@125mph in the 1/8 mile.....

Hi all, New to this thread got my Rival About two weeks Ago And thanks to you guys have done some upgrades to it. Awesome truck so far just ordered my drag link as most of you have as well. I'm visually impaired so don't beat me up too much on my spelling and grammar as sometimes it can get away from me LOL

Yep, sure was. Our ramp came apart and caught the truck about half way up by the front skid... instant full stop. Even bent the motor plate it was so violent.

Dang, I was watching from the other side of the ramp so I missed it. You gonna have it ready for the 9th? I might be coming out there.

I'll have it rebuilt by this weekend, but I won't be at the show on the 9th. Round 6 of our Backyard Bash series is that night, and I'd much rather race the truck than beat on it.

Oh okay, it's a 2 hour drive from me and a Friday night so it's unlikely I'll be going but I was thinking about it. You order a new chassis from dollarhobbyz? It's really nice having a chop shop so close.

I'd prefer to get one from them, but they're out of stock. I've got a line on another one for about the same price though. Gonna place my order for parts tomorrow.

I don't think we've done the Willmar show before, so who knows what it'll be like. Sometimes those shows are awesome, sometimes they're not worth the gas to drive there.

Yeah I'm used to Monster Jam so that's probably why it wasn't that good imo. Also the weather sucked.

Video from last night's show...

+ YouTube Video

Only got a couple jumps in before the Rival imploded, but it was fun either way!

Johnny, that is some impressive carnage, bet you were having a lot of fun right before it happened. It always seems that the biggest breakages come when you're having the biggest fun.
