Glad you like it!

[@Guitars_n_RCs]

Can you do a Video on how you cut an insert the foams for the sweep tires?
Apparently from what I'd read is there is some trimming etc to do for the best performance

[@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne]

The inserts Travis had were prototypes so they needed adjustment. Sweep have produced the correct size from Travis' recommendations and available here: www.hearnshobbies.com/products/sweep-drag-tyre-open-cell-inserts-blue-dot-pair

[@Montrell1982]

I love this video, what is your favorite drag racing battery?

[@josephcaruana9165]

Kindly what do you add to the water when you do the burn out because I didn't understand you?

[@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne]

Tony uses Get Stuck OG prep on the tyres before a run.

[@josephcaruana9165]

Thanks fir the info but unfortunately we do not have it in Malta maybe I try to find something similar!

[@lynstonioarmstrong1083]

What is the website to order one of those chassises?

[@mikebianco7854]

[@noelbrockdorff1507]

[@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne]

Thank you for watching! The HQ is a kit you can get to build srchy.hearnshobbies.com/?type=product&options%5Bprefix%5D=last&options%5Bunavailable_products%5D=last&q=dda%20hq

[@joekrim6557]

a dragster cage with an "action figure" driver might tame the directional stability of those "massive" launches. hope a vega gt body soon.😊

[@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne]

Yes, it might. Then again it might not but sounds like fun!

[@josephcaruana9165]

We use 4wd Arrma Limitless that weighs about 6.5 to 7kg with batteries. We tried the Skyrc gns, but I don't think it always give a reliable result because my car made 128km/h with 2.02 g and made it in 1.18 seconds and another car made 112km/h with 1.9g and made the same distance in 2.01.
So I can not understand how my car was faster with more g force, but it was slower in the 40m, which is about 132 feet!

[@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne]

Sorry, I don't know without reviewing your graph.

[@Kettenhund75]

2:36 That explains why all the performance car guys are running open diffs. 🤨 Ever heard of a one wheel wonder? The ONLY reason I would consider not running a spool is because it would make the car hard to turn around at the end of the strip and its hard on axles.

[@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne]

Yes, there are many diff setups possible and best to set the method that works best for you.

[@slashraptor9317]

My car is as basic as you can get I have a dr10m it’s been 2.0 dry tire with sweeps and voodoos but I do have to say the hardest voodoo is stickier then the softest sweep

[@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne]

Glad you are enjoying your car. Tyres suit different surfaces and temps.

[@slashraptor9317]

@@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne thank you for replying back I’m hoping you enjoy your car and racing like I do

[@1980chardison]

For your information you can reuse I see five IC3 plugs

[@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne]

Thank you for watching!

[@ThaLs1thatcould]

[@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne]

[@davidwright4460]
