If you have slight “surges” in power, or even a major stumble that seems to reset if you lift and get back on the throttle, try disabling your LiPo cutoff. Yes, it can be like hitting the NOS button (only you don’t press a button). Details are for another article, but let's just say it allows you to run a smaller pinion to get off the line quickly and ramp in a bunch of timing to get the speed needed on the 2nd half of the track. You can add timing electronically, with ESC settings, essentially making the motor gain Kv (Rpm) during the run. HobbyWing and Tekin (and a few others) offer more adjustments and tuning options, than let's say Castle does. Out here mid engine just hasn’t shown the speed (yet?).ĮSC: Is there black magic in the speedo? Yes, with some companies there is. These will help lighten the car, make the chassis more rigid, and make it look cool. Pro Tip: There are aftermarket carbon fiber chassis on the market. Usually, but not always, wide is easier to get down the track, but narrow can be more aerodynamic. The width is dependent on the body you want to run (see body section).
A Slash or Bandit, with an LCG chassis, is the most cost effective way to get started In No Prep Drag Racing and either is capable of being very competitive. Tires must be dry the time of your race, absolutely no VHT type traction additive.Ĭhassis: So far, most the racing has been built around Traxxas parts. No saucing tires with anything that leaves a sticky mark on the ground. Must have 4 shocks, each controlling the stability of a wheel as intended by the MFG. That said, here's some basic info on No Prep RC Drag Racing. The more you understand, the more you will know what a fast set-up is. The more you try, the more you will understand what the changes do. Make a few changes, scribble some notes, and test some more. You’ve got to roll up your sleeves and enjoy making some test hits (with friends is best). For example, there’s multiple ways of setting up shocks and they can all be fast. Please keep in mind that there’s more than one way of doing things. Much of this is based on what’s working for us, your area may be different. Please feel free to e-mail me if something doesn't seem right (e-mail info at the bottom). I may update the article every now and then. Please keep in mind this is relevant right now, as I type (02-01-2020). The kinda stuff we tell people in our hobby shop.
So, I figured it might be nice to write an article and have some basics in one place. Scanning the posts on social media, I've noticed many questions keep repeating.
No Prep? No Prep RC? NPRC? Street Outlaw? Whatever you call it, it's outlaw style street racing, on a no prep surface, with an RC Car and it's hot right now! Locally, we’ve been at it for two years now, but a lot of areas in the nation are just getting started.
