Hello all. We are done with our rc drag race season here in the midwest and I'm thinking about building a rear or maybe front engine dragster over the winter months. At this point I have not decided weather to make it a tube chassis or a pan type chassis like the pro-stock and altered I built for this past racing season. I want to be able to transport it to and from the track in my mini van.....oh I mean my race transport vehicle. I don't want it to be a two piece chassis so I want to shorten the wheelbase. A good freind and fellow racer "Hank" and I talked about this and thought that 50 inches might be good. What do youo guy's think? Any thoughts or suggustions would be appreciated. Keep in mind this dragster will see competition.
By the way I have bunch of vids of our racing this past summer that I will post soon.......just need to remember how to do it.

What are you running gas at about 5 feet is good. If electric 3 to 4 feet. If this rail is for comp two peace is better in case. you hit it. And it should be a frame. 1/4 scale run 6 feet or more your start point How much power you got

full size top fuel dragsters are 300 inch wheelbase from the center of the rear axle to center of front axle whith the front wheels straight. 1/4 scale top fuel dragster wheelbase is 75 inches from center of rear axle to center of front-the front axle axle.front motor dragster is about 64 inches.

You heard from the best 64inch wheelbase start building a beast for your project. Louie.

Thanks for the replies guys. I've researched a little more and pretty much decided to make the wheelbase about 50-52" modeled after a sportman comp dragster that are 200". I'll post some pics when I start the project.
