Looking for a traxxas funny car

[RCBoaterGuy]

Lighten up -- it was intended as a joke... not sure why you got all bent outta shape??

BTW: don't have an ignore list, don't feel the need for one.

Hey Guy, do me a favor, if you can't stand someone who owns a swimming pool, I urge you to put me on your ignore list.
This is a boat Forum, not a political Forum denouncing middle class people in America!!!

Good day!

Not being a Smart Feller but we all have an ignore list built into this very nice forum that Mr. V provides.

Scott created this thread to find a Traxxas Funny car that is in Tip Top Shape, let's do so.

Yup, agreed!
I don't know what to do, now I feel that they are going to discontinue, and I will kick myself later, but I really have no plans for it.
It is nicely engineered, I like the fact that they built a suspension and differential, it is that much more practical to drive on the pavement.

So this thing does 70ish on 3s in stock form
what all are you guys wanting to run motor wise in this thing ??

[RCBoaterGuy]

Don't wanna be jerk or anything, but if you look at the majority of the post (#29) that I was quoted (misunderstood actually) it had to do with the subject at hand. Wasn't my intention to stray off topic or offend anyone - honest.

Said it before, say it again... the first sentence was intended to be a joke, it was a carry over from another thread that obviously got taken the wrong way.

I'm some do have an ignore list, mine's external. Came here to learn, and that I have!! Hard to do if you keep seeing "that post is hidden because..."

I have seen some video, at that speed, unless you have really smooth pavement, it is going to be hard to control the car.
I actually don't know anything about the stock motor, is it another CC motor Traxxas borrowed?

[ray schrauwen]

The motor is a Castle 1415 2400kv motor with 1/8" shaft. You can install a 4074 motor as I've seen and use other Traxxas 5mm pinions.

The most you can fit in the batt tray is 4S but, then the battery cover will not close. I'll di up the video, lots of info...

[ray schrauwen]

Good info, long but, says a lot.

All great info., thanks Ray!

[ray schrauwen]

This seller rockbottom rc sold me a roller chassis and now has wheels with bearings plus bodies at really low prices. bodies have the bumpers inside still too.
$40 shipped for a John force body: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151416719726...%3AIT#shpCntId

[ray schrauwen]

His stuff goes fast, no other cheaper place to get this stuff I know of. Hope my brother doesn't freak bringing this stuff back to me from FL.

[Scott M]

Hey Ray, thanks for posting that link I was looking to get ahold of the seller to buy some stuff but I can't find the link on eBay. Do you happen to still have his info around? Thanks Ray!!

I thought I posted the link to his sale of parts...... Here is his store. Go down the list and click on traxxas funny car

[Scott M]

Thanks again Ray, I tried emailing him through eBay, to try and get a deal on a roller and he responded to buy all the parts separately from his listings, he also wouldn't deal outside of eBay. I'm still going to hold out for a better deal. I doubt the car is going to be discontinued. I think they'll just update the bodies, but I could be wrong.....

[Spartanator]

I have bought from RockBottomRC before on Ebay. Solid seller that already has low prices, if not the lowest on Ebay. I am still keepin' an eye out for the right one with enough shine for ya! lol

I think it will be re-vamped somehow, maybe with just the bodies... Traxxas is tight lipped....

Here is one but it ain't too shiny....

Ebay

Looks like it has the "actual" Castle motor vs the Traxxas/Castle 1415 2400kv....

I never realized that the wire length between the motor and ESC were that long.....
