That's awesome JZ. Hey B4Maz found a great place to have the speed event. I contacted the lady that does the Texas Mile event and she sounded very interested. She even said it can be done in conjuction with the October event. They use a airport and it has 2 huge runways. If the runways can't be used, you guys might be able to use the roads next to it. I posted more info in here: http://www.radiocontrolzone.com/showthread.php?t=248408 and http://lincit.myzen.co.uk/rcspeedfre...wtopic=84&st=0.

Yeah I have been watching those posts. Some of my customers run on that strip. It is a nice place to run and the pavement is decent. Should be fun....


I will try to make the event if they decide to have one...though this year will not be a good one as my wife is due our firstborn around that time of year....so I may not be able to make it. But I will see....


I have some other ideas for this truck as to see if I can get to 90mph. Getting it into these higher speeds is getting tough....aerodynamic brick wall is what I feel like I have hit.

Early congrats on your firstborn. I might not make it as well. My daughter's grandma didn't give me an answer yet. A wing in the front of your truck will do. It will be enough to get the air to flow over the front of the truck and that will reduce drag.

so whachya got ni mind there jzemaxx??

Wouldn't it be nice to have something belted? Also, have you tried sealing up the holes in the rims so the tire can't breathe? I'm thinking this may limit ballooning.

I could certainly go for some belted tires. I have some on my 1/10th touring car, and a set for my 1/8th buggy for speed runs.

These will be completely different from any tires you've seen. My uncle only uses the best rubber as they make protectors that goes inside truck tires. With the excess he's already making all kinds of stuff. He made sandals and ashtrays. I have attached pictures of the rubber ashtrays he made.
