Man that Savage almost had you ... NOT. :smile: Nice video.

What excuses did the nitro owners have for losing afterwards? :lol:

Great video, nothing like seeing the other truck being pulled backwards at 20mph to know that you've won. :yipi:

Loved watching the Nitro getting Pulled Bass Ackwards !

they took it like men... Lol
 

Thanks for checking it out. The funniest thing is my truck was geared at 26/66 and in 2nd gear! Lol. I have a guy who called me out for this Sunday. He has 2 nitro trucks. 1 with glisterin (or whatever it's called) and the other is HUGE with a HUGE motor. I'm not toying with him. Next Sunday I'm lowering my gearing majorly, turning my tires around for more traction, adding weight to the front, lowering my suspension, and welding a aluminum hook near the bottom of my rear skid plate. If he outpulls me after all these adjustments, I will bow down gracefully!! Lol. I'll post the new video Monday/Tuesday latest!!

Nice one. I'd like to see the two of them vs your one truck. I still think you would kill them.

In fact, maybe see how many of them it takes to outpull you. 2, 3, 4? Bet a diff blows before your truck would go backwards.

In the video your truck was kinda far away to tell, did you have any tire spin at all ?
If you didn't, maybe turning the tires around wouldn't even be nessasary ?

Good Luck and keep us posted !!

:lol:T-Bro, i saw a video on You tube with an E maxx full options with neu 1527 :D
That was you ?

@Finnster lol I thought of the same thing... I might do that if I win all my pulls Sunday. @Bondunutz I dont think there really was... My truck weighs over 17 lbs so the wheels dont spin too much. I'm adding about 2 pounds for this Sundays pulls so maybe I will be ok.
@Nuz69 Yeah thats me.

Yeah man. Win all the pulls 1st, then put them all to the test. I only see you losing from losing traction, not lack of power. Weight is your friend I would bet, esp w/ their clutchbell and low torque powerplants.

Yeah BL domination of course. Nice pull, silly nitro.

You guys are so cool... I took some extra photos to show you I'm not playing you on the upgrades...
First photo shows my new (lower gravity aluminum hook) I welded onto my skid plate. Also a weight I threw together I'm going to hang on my front bumper. (dont laugh at my welds... I was in a HURRY) lol.
Second shows some of the added weight I will have in this pullout. (I'm putting my old 9 cell 3700 nimh pack on the other side to help balance weight and add traction!
Last photo shows the change in my gearing. From 26/66 to 16/72 (I'm dying to see how JUMPY my truck will be with gearing this low... lol.
p.s. if you look close, my 26t pinion gear finally shredded after the second pull. I popped a wheelie to show off... then my truck slowly rolled down the strip... lol!
The best thing about that.... NO OTHER DAMAGE!! I'll take a shredded pinion gear over a shredded tranny or diff gear ANYDAY!! lol. My only other worry was pulling my bumper off, but now that I have a pulling hook, I'm worry FREE!
So, tell me what you think??

Impressive!! I was actually thinking that the welds look good. The truck is what 19lbs now? HAHA! With that low gearing I would really watch motor temps. It would suck to have it fry. I don't think I would bash with it like that much at all.

If you place the towline as low as possible, below the axle line, it will actually add some tractive weight, without adding weight. Theoretically it will spread the load better between the F & R diffs, and should keep both trucks from hopping. But too low (say ground level) could also transfer too much to the front and that would work against you... just thoughts.

I was pulling my daughter around in her wagon the other day and found the best place to hook up was at chassis level. If I hooked higher like at the wing brace, the front would lift. If I hooked up lower than the chassis, the rear didn't hook up as well. So, redshift's theory does work.

Haha kids these days have it made. I had to tow myself around, or find a hill lol.

Yeah you could do a static test by tying up to an immovable object, trying various mounts, and apply a little throttle to see how the truck reacts. Or you could fake him out and have him tie up higher than you, that would assure a win hehe. But we're brushless, we don't need to cheat do we?
