Now I have a chassis that fits any touring car body and I can run any 12mm hex wheels up front.īody back on with new front end installed: I designed them around some HPI Pro4 steering knuckles I had laying around, then I just used some Pro4 axles without the bone portion of the CVD's as front axles. The mounts also widen the car an extra 50mm to get me pretty close to the 190mm mark. They also move the front wheels back 13mm to make the wheelbase 257mm which is the standard touring car wheelbase. I designed up and 3D printed some new front suspension mounts that bolt into the existing chassis holes. I settled on M-chassis wheels and tires which are slightly smaller than touring car wheels/tires. I know that's not ideal for drag racing but I'm going for more of a street car look than an all out drag car. My first mockup of what I want it to look like, I also want to ditch the front ball bearing wheels and run a 12mm hex so that I can also run any touring car wheel up front. The front end is really what needs to be changed significantly to fit a 190mm body better. The rear axle is pretty easy to widen slightly. While there are a handful of bodies that fit these chassis's perfectly I've always wished they made a drag chassis that uses a standard 190/200mm touring car body, the touring car body market has a TON of options to make a cool drag car.

I opted for no wheelie bar, I'm trying to go for a more street car look than a full on drag car look.Īfter doing some research on RC drag cars you quickly learn that they have a very narrow track width and vary in wheelbase quite a bit. I liked the layout and it looked like a quality product to start from.

It was difficult to even find info on the different drag chassis available, but in the end I settled on a Drag Race Concepts pro street chassis. I don't have any RC drag tracks near me so there is a good chance this one never sees much action besides up and down the street in front of my house. I should start off by saying I have zero experience with RC drag cars, but with that being said I've always wanted to build one.
