I finished my FWD dragster last week and took it for it's first drive.
I redesigned the chassis layout with more weight to the front. Next I made the chassis plated out of 1,5mm thick carbon fiber and the battery brackets out of 9mm aluminum.
Specs:
- Full ball-bearings
- Oil filled aluminium shocks
- 66T spur gear
- 30T pinion gear
- custom steering system
- 35mm foam tires in the front
- 26mm rubber tires in the rear.
- Spektrum Z590 servo
- Mamba Max Pro ESC
- Mamba 4600kV motor
- Team Orion 7,4V lipo
I am really pleased with the result. The car accelerates very fast and goes straight as an arrow. The standard Tamiya gears have no problems in handling the massive Mamba power which was a big surprise to me.
