Yup. Buying a Suzuki Cappuccino soon. Just saved up about enough for it so i'm going to be checking out some auctions. 63hp at 1550lbs.

Indeed, my last stationwagon before my current one had 100hp 😆

My current daily is a 72 220d with 59 hp.

Maybe he can use it as a skateboard..

Isn't the same

I can't imagine being RIGHT next to 2 at the starting line! They shake you from the top of the stands!

Top fuel is awesome, the noise, the fumes, the vibration is just mental for us spectators, God knows what it's like for the driver.

Note, turbos and 4v dohc is banned in top fuel. They could be much faster, but... many tracks in the us are too short now, even @ the shortened 1000', and the NHRA does not want them to go faster. If modern engine configuration was used, tf would be much faster.

YES! The shockwave!

I say this to as many people as possible!

He wont respond to logics like this , dude is not to bright with physics .

So what if he isn’t into that he probably knows stuff about rc’s than you ever will

I get the feeling you're going to run into ballooning issues there, and I think, especially with how often the current tires are being completely destroyed, it's not going to be cost effective, I think the current technology needs to be refined and I think we need to stick with plastic wheels but design them so that their structure accounts for the crazy forces that their experiencing.

How about aluminum wheels with spikes? Milled from solid

Very short spikes, so that he only gets good grip

Exactly my thoughts. Put 2 cameras under the body to monitor driveshafts and diffs

Hé can.. better drive also with a fr

​@@superfeschiRaz Schifrin does exactly that to test parts

​@saransmith8773 that just proves what a good idea it is.

Insta 360 is small and clear enough yo do it now. Camera technology has definitely gotten better since gopro came out. You couldn't fit those in small spaces.

Yeah, it is always 420 somewhere😆

​@@freedom8480Sounds good but you must be high if you believe that true. 😂

I’m here in New York too but it’s not 4:20am for me, it’s 4:45am for me.🤷🏻‍♂️😊

​@@peteroman4297true it's not 420 anymore, unfortunately it was only 420 for about a minute when I typed my comment lol 😂

Yup, ny here too. Had to see it before sleep 😂

Do forget ear defenders, it’s loud but that’s the experience

Yea I agree, far too much traction for the drivetrain to handle with all that power. Rolling start for next time Kev :)

I am almost 100% sure that the problem was too much traction, all the power suddenly went to the drive shaft which simply couldn't handle it. Under normal conditions, the wheels would spin and the power from the engines would be distributed. It's one thing to withstand the power transmission at high speed, and another thing to withstand the power at the start, especially from the electric motor which provides full torque from the very beginning. The cause of the car jumping is also too much grip, this is what a wheel behaves when it has too much grip.

Except skateboards are not driven by a motor. They just coast.

Thanks fro glad you enjoyed it

@@KevinTalbotTVwhy don’t you glue ur tires

Filmed about 2 weeks ago. Can’t run the other way we might hit the building

They do run drag rc cars on prepped surfaces

​@@wyldcardsamare they as sticky as Santa Pod is. We did a human powered race their at bugjam. And it was very difficult to cycle on the sticky bit

It's a good thing they didn't go the opposite way! 2 cars already overran the track... they would have hit the building and not been invited back. Think about when these cars blow out the tires before hitting the prepped surface... Better to hit dirt than a building / flat wall.

I know very little about RC cars but seeing how the wheels are like a "sponge" material I feel like the glue just rips the tyres off their rims, it's just too sticky.

Exactly

thats epic for open wheel!

@@KevinTalbotTV thanks man. Those 2028 1700s are no joke. Kinda hooked on speed running now. Im gonna turn my infraction into a GT speed car. A hobao is on my list too!

salty boy jealous you dont have any cool friends

No such thing as too much traction in drag racing. Wheel hop is caused by the driven wheels pushing forward and losing traction. On an IRS setup you see an increases in toe angle which causes the wheels to slip. Once the traction is off they snap back to their normal position, bite back in, slam forward again, rinse, repeat. It happens on live (solid) rear axles when the whole diff assembly rolls forward, compressing the lower trailing arm bushings to a point where they cannot move anymore. The sudden bump as the diff hits limits causes it to break traction, which allows the diff to fall back, wheels to bite back in, push forward again, also rinse, also repeat. The answer is always a stiffer bushing in your lower control arms (IRS) or sturdier trailing arms for live axle racers. Considering the twist visible in the lower control arms at the end of the video this is almost certainly whats happening. I would be putting a solid control arm at the front instead of a damper as Kev speculated. Hopefully he'll have a look at some drag car info for advice.

100% that's why. The prepped surface helps with traction but it also prevents the wheels from rotating by increasing rolling resistance and since it isn't consistent, you get wheel hop.

Maybe alloy lower arms?

@@KevinTalbotTV no, just stay off the prepped surface, it's also weakening your foam.

Boom!!

@@tum83you mean Mr. Talbot?

What about a solid resin wheel you could make it on a lathe

@@KevinTalbotTVHi love your videos

@@KevinTalbotTV Kev, I know it would make a lot of difference, but have you thought about a considerably taller tire/wheel combo, since the larger diameter spins much less rpm's @ 200mph and are harder to break traction getting to 200mph? Just a thought. Oh and also ditch the fancy smancy CF drive shafts. The hollow tubes create terribly destructive harmonics.

It has 100 hp the weight don’t mean shit

omg i was thinking the same. maybe pro alcohol. we know he wants a loud car haha.
