Matt..... If there was EVER a case for a locked Diff - this is it! May need stiffer Shock Oil in the Rear too. I may not have done this - I've had a LOT of experience Racing 1/1... 😉 *LOVE the Paintwork!!!* 😎 Max Headroom lol. That takes me back - to High School!! (OLD man!) This looks like a lot of fun - but seems to be a LOT of prep, for "no prep". 😖 Please stay SAFE! 😷 Carmine ✈🚂🚙
Straight/fully locked sounds like it's the right thing to do, but it doesn't scale down quite the same way. It'd be impossible to control. Thanks for the suggestion though!
Drag racing is the new wave man! I'm starting a series over on my channel in a few weeks. Im going to try and incorporate some Street outlaw editing and ranking gags
I totally called it. Max headroom such a bizzare reference that I totally understand. Some people prefer a full spool, but ive been running a full open diff in a slash. Tuning these can be really touchy. But its fun as can be
My build was done with a Teamassociated b6.1d. I just got a carbon fiber no prep chassis for it. And I am looking at getting the new Barracuda body for it and will be going with a clean factory paint scheme.
Justin Wright my cars sitting pretty, cos I put in effort instead of getting free stuff and slapping it together with little to no effort. It’s nothing personal, just an observation. But please don’t let me get in the way of your name calling for voicing and opinion the same way you did. Maybe grow up champ
@@chadkyletheman41 Your opinion is just being a troll there Bud. Just don't say anything its better for everyone. If it makes you feel better about your shit car that sits on a shelf then troll on there little buddy troll on.
@@chadkyletheman41 every comment you make everywhere is just shit talking. Are you ever positive. Your mom or wife or boyfriend whoever must not love you. Try to be positive for once and you'd be surprised the reactions you get. It wouldn't be arguments i can tell you that.
Awesome, been waiting for that video, love the build!! I am almost finished my no prep drag car build, Slash chasis, 3900kv brushless,69 Chevy Nova body. I plan on painting it black with slate grey Yenko style graphics.
Spool the diff and drop and stiffen the wheelie bar. On a drag car it's job is to keep the steer tires on the ground. Firm the shocks up and add weight to the front. Launch softer as wheel spin is your enemy.
old school on road rear motor pod, live axle no diff... carbon fiber arrow shafts cut to size+shape, scuffed rough at joints then lashed together with black thread and CA for the "welds". 1.5 mm plate stock to the rear motor pod 1 cm wide strips 3 cm between the tube chassis and pod, a simple rod push+pull spring setup over the top of the pod. front plate for BoLink kingpins+steering blocks+short coil springs... 5000kv 3650 with a 3.2:1 (48/15) ratio using rugged old 32p gears... my scratch built dragster toy :)
Been thinking about building one out of my slash and was contemplating using turnbuckles in the front in place of the shocks and seeing how that would work while keeping the rear somewhat spongy so it can squat and hopefully plant some more power. But anyway the car looks awesome man!
I ordered the Associated DR10 & it’s finally shipped from Tower. I’m looking forward to taking it out to see what it can do . I’m also turning a slash into a no prep drag car . I got really nice Pro Line Octane body to go on it . I like the paint scheme you did & I hope you do more 80’s theme paint schemes .
Built a drag slash around the time your second drag vid was posted used the J concepts mustang body. Two tone black and green . Reminds me of the hulk. AND please make more follow up vids!! You are one of the best RUclipsrs out there. Love the channel
Locked up diff, and made my own super heavy shock oil, mixed some super heavy diff oil with some 30wt shock till I achieved a good result. Set preload stiffer on the side it pulled to. Don't think you need a sensor setup, just adjust start power in ESC.
yes, live axle also nicer on the launches, described my scratch build in another comment. CF arrows, a dremel, black sewing thread and CA to "weld" the chassis together. you can make ANYTHING with the method, want cross bracing? drill bit and 3 mm CF rod for the X braces, battery ladder floor, vertical posts for 1.5 mm plate to mount electronics.... the cool FUN, you get the body first then just build a chassis for it!
I have old Team associated SC10 2wd this might be worth converting for fun. Also few brushless motors in my bin. Cool thx for sharing looks fun. I like the Bugatti style body proline just released more modern twist
I have a old Tekin Midnight Pro 2 motor I thought about putting in my Grand Hauler and locking the three speed in third. Its pretty quick with the stock can and second gear. I like the Maxheadroom theme.
A lot of debris on the surface. Also I would recommend not using so much throttle when heating the tires up. If they balloon out you only heat the center.
You prolly dont care but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can watch all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my gf these days :)
Also, gearing on the turn motors can cause heating and damage issues. 16-19/84 is positive range. Top speed matters less than launch. A well balanced car will lay down faster times than an overpowered monster. The rx8 and 10 are easily programmed, be careful on timing. Over gearing can burn out esc and or motor. Good luck, great vids
I run the slash platform. I used 2 million in the diff and light 25w oil in the front and 60w rear stock slash shocks and springs no tension on front and the rears had adjustment collar so added some tension to the right rear and that helped with straightening my launches. Also when observing your runs I can see the chassis flexing. I am using the slash 4x4 roll bar from hot racing flipped 180 and the stiffened things right up.
More weight over the rear may help a bit I used to add my weights to the front of my wheelie bar. Also can place weight lil offset which will help with it pulling left or right
Wow. Looks very 1989. I knew what it was right away. That show ran on cine cine cinemax. By the way, please tell Mr Schultz next time you talk to him, to thank the guys that did the sticker sheet on the Element. I recieved my Element friday. The sticker sheet has a never seen on an RC sticker sheet before, handicapp stickers. I am an amputee in a wheelchair. Being considered is nice. As always, great work. Great vid.
Car looks awesome. The Video footage was amazing seeing that body shell flex like the real thing was sweet! Can’t wait to see more on this I’m still on the fence about building one. One thing to add might be a scale parachute 🪂 on the back.
Hey Associated has just released a Drag car and it has some sort of gyro in it, the side the car twist's either put a stiffer spring or thicker oil in the shock o the side it is pulling to. Balance the rear wheels you have a lot of tyre shake.
Set the speed control so you can roll into the power . I know you can with a castle link not sure if you can with that one and the only other thing is it takes a driver ....... like someone who can be a wheel man and blast off and steer like crazy... plus you want to set the wheelie bar so that when on the power the front tires hardly touch the ground. I did a bit of no prep and its all about tuning for the conditions..... good luck sweet car....
i´m building a No prep car on the Base of the Kyosho Outlaw Rampage. The car has a solid axle in the back which i thought was cool for realism purposes. Also helps with traction.( at least in the real world....)
Looked like weight was off to one side causing one of the tires to not have as good contact as the opposite side creating the pull. Try using a scale to weigh each corner to evenly distribute the weight.
I am wondering if lighter grade oil in the right rear shock and perhaps a lighter spring on that side would help your launches as it seems to mostly hook to the right. That way you would get more traction on that side.
John Schultz is super fast, he can share set up with you. You don't need to change shocks, but you might need heavier oil. Also TSR speedshop podcast has been going over the drag set up for the DB10. PS. What happened to the comparison between Kyosho mini crawler vs. Axial?
@@scalebuildersguild Ultimately it is up to you! I thought you said in your video where you went over the Mini Z you said you were going to compare them. Seems like a solid indoor social distancing type of thing. Even though your Axial isn't stock, it would be interesting to see.
When I first saw the paint job I thought what the.. but when you explained it all made sense, [showing my age] yes I remember Max headroom [I think got his name as it was the last thing he saw before he died, A sign saying MAX HEADROOM like in a parking lot - how high/ low the roof is 6ft/ 2m] keep up the great work
Matt, When I seen that paint job, I said oooh s**t he messed it up, lol I'm glad you got another body lined up. I just got all my parts together to put a No-Prep Drag Racer together with a Traxxas Slash chassis. I'm following the Pro-Line setup I seen on RUclips a few Months ago.

Straight/fully locked sounds like it's the right thing to do, but it doesn't scale down quite the same way. It'd be impossible to control. Thanks for the suggestion though!
@@scalebuildersguildtry 1 million weight diff oil. It reduces the amount of opposing wheel over turn, which helps keep it straighter.
Another inspirational video Matt! I think I’ll have to get two bodies; one to build my skills, the other to shine on the podium!!!
Cheers
Doc
I welded the diff on my no prep car and it helped it go straight
Drag racing is the new wave man! I'm starting a series over on my channel in a few weeks. Im going to try and incorporate some Street outlaw editing and ranking gags
I'll check it out!

I love it!!! I recognized the Max Headroom inspiration immediately.
Love the no prep coverage! Car looks great man! Keep up the good work!!
I love it, the paint, the look, the stance and especially the Ford sticker. :)
You and me both!
Love the Max Headroom style!
SlowMo footage looks sweet man. Killer paint job too.
That paint job is lazy and looks like a child did it with one eye closed.
Wheres your car? Or content for that matter? The only child here is you loser. Get bent.

Tow in slightly/ \ on the front just ever so slightly stiffen up that rear diff and springs and Lower that wheelie bar should be awesome
Killer paint job!!!looks sweet and that slowmo whooo lit!!!
I recently have been trying to film my rc s and I have to say the slow motion looks great on that that car
Love this series please keep going with the no prep
Wow!! What a blast from the past, I haven't seen that show in so long I almost forgot about it!! Great job on the body, looks awesome!

Most events require 4 shocks that have at least 1/4 of travel in them
You got skills brother
Nice job with the decals 👏🏻👏🏻

It's definitely looks slick. Great work Matt!
Thanks!
cool paint concept... you are that guy
I've been waiting for this build looks Awesome definitely remember Max headroom the 80s were cool
Glad you liked it!
Absolutely incredible build Matt 👍🏻💯
Glad you like it!
Pull diff centre apart. Fill spider gears with blu tack or something similar as it's reversible. And put back together.

Thanks John, lots to learn from you!
I thought it was a tribute to Josh’s traffic engineering history
Love the stance. Nice and low.
Thanks 👍
Nice job on the paint matt. Been a loooooong time since i seen max headroom lol
Awesome work man.. im in the middle of a slash build with the same body.
Nice paint scheme 👍🏾
Glad you like it!
Used your rear spring preload to get the car to track straight
It's gorgeous.
Awesome built i just started on my traxxas build car keep up the good work 👍 😎
Hey Associated has just released a Drag car and it has some sort of gyro in it, the side the car twist's either put a stiffer spring or thicker oil in the shock o the side it is pulling to. Balance the rear wheels you have a lot of tyre shake.

Thanks for getting me interested. A few friends are trying to get me into no-prep dragging...
You should!
I was close. I was thinking something from early mtv
i´m building a No prep car on the Base of the Kyosho Outlaw Rampage.
The car has a solid axle in the back which i thought was cool for realism purposes. Also helps with traction.( at least in the real world....)
CAR LOOKS GREAT SIR👍
I locked my Diff and I keep twisting my u joints out on my Slash based car....I don’t care if it’s fast as long as it pulls cool slo-mo wheelies!
Also thinking of job weld to lock diff up.
Looked like weight was off to one side causing one of the tires to not have as good contact as the opposite side creating the pull. Try using a scale to weigh each corner to evenly distribute the weight.
Matt I would change out the shocks.there might not be enough weight transfer to the rear.
80 weight in the back and half 50, half 30 up front will help with a 4pbs+ ca. keep it up brother, awesome build.
Thanks! Will do!
I am wondering if lighter grade oil in the right rear shock and perhaps a lighter spring on that side would help your launches as it seems to mostly hook to the right. That way you would get more traction on that side.
I'm an 80's Kid. I get it. lol. Paint Scheme looks "Live and Direct!", Lol.

Great video. I have same build dialed in. I run 80wt in the shocks all 4. Yes the factory dB shocks. And gearing needs to be adjusted
Thanks for the info!
Use your slipper clutch for smooth power delivery
Great video content 👍🏽. Try 500 k in diff. Firm up rear shocks
Have you tried a gyro on your steering servo.?
It would be a big help.
Not allowed in no-prep.
gyro's are for wimps! I RWD drift without one too

You're absolutely correct.
Dude...LOVE the livery👊😎
Thanks a ton!
I need to start building one, I can’t decide if I should get the DB10 or build from scratch
Cool car!😷
Nice paint job! What about using spektrum AVC to keep the missile guided straight? Just my first thought
Very cool......interesting...👍👍
Looks awesome 👍 cool paint job.. How much would you say you have spent on RC's each year on average Matt?
I'm trying too build one up from a traxxas nitro buggy frame converting it too electric but I'm limited to a 66 spur gear because of the rear end
It definitely looks fun, but I'm just a irs fan for dragsters, but you never know, it might just win me over
Looks great! Certainly unique!! Was curious about the trim around the windows... did you paint from the outside?
Stiff up the Front shocks , that will stop the rollover Problem.
Leave the rear shocks soft, the setup should have a Bit of sag when ständig still
loved max
No Slash, but i have a Bandit, maybe i should build it into a dragster, heh
Are you going to make a self-driving no prep dragster?
Take revo shocks and put them in the car my man...perfect length and tune
Love ur paint job nice 👌
Thank you so much 😀
80-100 weight oil in the rear shocks
Nice Moves:)
Warm up your tires some of us use a piece of carpet ,, doesn’t waste the tires as much .. and blow off your track with leave blower
Great tip!
Always luved Max
... very cool ! But guess that means I'm just showin my age .. lol
