luisranza,

Who is your friend? Are you talking about parking lot drag racing? I've been running in the parking lots in Gretna, and in buggy class, nothing even came close to my Turmoil. After one night of running, I took the buggy apart because there was no competition.

Truck class is a bit more fun and if you keep the setup kind of mild, you can leave a lot of room for competition, whereas driving skill plays a larger part in winning. You will soon find that if you make your car/truck too fast, no one will want to race you.

In a 10lb or so truck, this is what works for us. First, we run GRP tires. The Parks work very well and don't ballon much. We stuff the front and rear diffs with 100,000 diff fluid and the center diff with 500,000, which essentially locks the center diff. You have to do this or the power will unload to the front and cause your truck to wheelie. You'll also want to lower your truck. Slam it to the ground as close as you can get it.

As for the motor, the 1512 can Neu motors work the best. They have the nuts to get the truck moving without too much torque and they spool up quickly. We are also using the Compro controllers. Through playing around with the gearing and programming the esc, you can get to a point where all you have to do is grab a handfull of throttle when you take off.

A Neu 1512/1.5Y on a GOOD 5S lipo pack running around a 46/20 gearing with monster truck tires should get you about 50 mph, which should be fast enough to compete in a 132' race. If it isn't, change the gear ratio some.

I just want to warn you, drag racing is rough on your electronics and the thrill wears off quickly.
