Some of you know that I'm VW (racer/show) at heart and also drag race radio control cars. Since I'm taking sometime off from building another bug right now I've got to stay busy working on stuff... I got a sponsor out on California that's currently building me a new Pro Mod '63 Corvette right now to go set some records and win some $$ in the Pro Mod class. I've already got the bad ass electronic for it from spped controller that I can control ( its like a mini MSD ignition ) from the laptop to a data logger to see whats its doing down the track. But here's the newest RC in the shop that came in last week. Its a Shredder-X Pro Stock bike. Also will post some of my older one too. Oh yes I will be working on another VW real soon.... Enjoy the pictures. :thumbs:

That's pretty neat! I've heard those things aren't cheap to work on either. What are the times, speed, distance?

Thanks ! Yes starting from nothing to something takes alot of money. Example my Pro Stock Mustang (which I sold) I had close to a grand in just the car. But its just like our real cars. More you put in them the faster that go.

My best time is 1.8's at 76mph running at 132ft which is our qrt mile.

Recorded right now in Top Fuel is 1.15

Here's a 1.17 run from Australia :thumbs:
