Default Drag raceing T-Maxx vs REVO

I finaly got to run my Revo Vs a T-Maxx on the track.
We would drag race turn around and do it again.
Only once did he beat me and I had hit the side wall during the race. ALL other runs my back bumper was at this front bumper at the end.

My room mate came over and was telling us when to start to make it more fair. I have an almost stock revo with the 2.5r and stock gears. He was running a big block and couldn't keep up.

PS I was beating him in second gear every time. I would shift into second just a bit before him and would start pulling away then he would hit second and would gain a bit more speed but was still slower then me.


I loved it.....

Had I used a 40 tooth spur he would have beat me in the long second gear run. He and I held almost neck and neck at take off but my top end was to much for him to handle...

Also from the sound of his I think he was tuned nicely. He might have been geared a bit low. I dont think he could have raced with a higher top speed.
I dont know how the 2 speed tranie on the t-maxx is but I think the revo is made to get higher top speed in second gear.
I could beat him on the track with my revo with ease he was very top heavy and would roll if he tried to pull corners like I do.

Nice, I just went to the 40 tooth Spur today cause my Revo was wheelie happy with the stock gears and the TM, it hauls now. I can't wait to race my friend with his TM powered Revo that usually gets me everytime. I got him now.
