Six , you just gave me an idea. I have an old old RS4 and I think that .28 RB needs a home. I think that 2mm chassis might not be up to the challenge .

well the old nitro RS4's that are belt driven are great because there is very little flex in them around where the engine sits if you get the Al or graphite rear brace. Mine never had gear striping issues and if you bolt a good torque rod from the nose to the rear of the car it stiffens things up plenty. ohh and to run 1/10 truck foams on the back of the RS4 you need the NMT rear axles A549 or easier yet TM racing makes bolt on foams for TC's 30MM x 2.650" Tall. seriously put a wing on the back possibly even a small wing on the nose, aim the exhaust outlet up. aiming it down actually will push the car up into the air especially if you remove all the front drive components.

Bigdangerous , we try to run classes , and this time we are getting alot more serious about it , the way it should have been in the beginning (from when I started this year) 3 strikes and your out . bring what you got , get it running and KEEP it running or 3 times is unlucky for you .
Geno says try to pre register so he can put it on the board , like bracket racing . Judges do NOT RUN their cars til after event is done . There is more but its late and I wanna go to bed If you cant be an athlete , be an athletic supporter .

ohh yeah.. the really fast nitro top fuel cars are silly. I believe in the 132ft they hit around 1.6 sec in the 75-80mph range. I just watched an auction end for a walbern pro stock car. over $500 for it RTR and the guy is in chicago. I wish I had $500 to blow because I would have bought it.
in fact there is video of some sick 1.6sec runs here.. http://litespeedengineering.com 1:1.. 01 Z28 Camaro A4 Sure.. its stock. 1:8's.. K3, Inferno GT, and a straight line beater car 1:18.. RC18t Mamba and 3s lipo

electric drag kits are pretty cheap and with a BL it would fly. the fastest 132ft RC's go back and forth between BL's and nitros. both in the 1.6 sec time in the 80mph range.
