No Prep to Dirt Drags!! | Building an Offroad RC Drag Truck!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ย. 2022
- Since I picked up the Associated DR10M I've had the old SC5M based chassis sitting aside, trying to decide what to do with it. I played around with some crazy wild ideas including throwing some 2.6" monster truck tires on it...
But as you might've seen in some of my bashing videos, we have a good bit of room in headlands and fields around here that could be really fun for some offroad drag racing of sorts.
To turn this old no prep car into an offroad drag racing machine, the first things to do is setup the suspension and get some wheels and tires on it.
This is going to be a fun build and I already know it'll be a challenge to drive on the dirt so make sure to follow along for more build videos in the coming weeks!!
Hope you Enjoy the Video!!

I hear a heavy cajun accent.... cheers 🍻 from New Orleans
Hahahah never thought it was that heavy until I started TH-cam and everyone started calling me out on it!
I am on work, nightshift but it's great to see a video like yours 🇩🇰
That is going to be a fun truck to run! Looking forward to seeing it in action
I really think it'll be a challenge to drive which is what I'm hoping for. I'm excited too, thanks!!
Y'all have a badass day 🤘
😁
Very nice setup. I'm doing something similar with my DR10 and it's really adding up on parts. I really like the body you picked out. Cant wait to see this car in action. The 2wd cars are so much fun to modify and drive.
I can definitely see parts adding up trying to build something like this. I'm trying not to break the bank with the build but also have something really fun to drive!
Gonna be a sick little dirt drag truck !
I'm hoping so! Should really rip through the dirt!
Looks good sir!
Magnetic mounts for sure
Thank you!!
Awesome
Thanks!!
Very cool build!
Thank you!
I'd stick with body clips. I don't see magnets holding all that well. I'd also suggest u install a nice long smooth bottomed wheely bar and u probably will need to add some weight in the front. One or the other , or both. U could use the proline screw on body post, but it sux when u lose one. They do work good though.. gl
I've been thinking of maybe trying velcro instead so I could have a no body clip look. As for the wheelie bar, I'm not sure if I'm going to run one. I think it'll be fun to try to control and drive without one. Definitely some weight going up front though. this will need to be 50/50 front to rear on weight or better for sure.
@@FullThrottleRC if u ever get that ride into serious sand. U will find out how good a wheely bar is to have. Sure u can feather the throttle , but I predict that ur gonna wanna go faster than that will allow. I run my rcs at the beach more than any other place and these are the things I have found work best. And with u shortening the chassis , it's gonna be even more pronounced.. BUT, if ur running on a hard packed surface, u may be ok.
It’s a cool idea.i had a bunch of axial parts laying around.i built another crawler.👍
Thanks!! Although challenging, these are my favorite types of builds!
Cool !!!!!!!! I want to build one !!!!!!!
Thanks!!! I'm excited to get it running and see how it is to drive
Cut the fenders off and cut the rear wheel well bigger so the back sits level and set the front down and let shocks sit through 2 cutouts on each side of the hood
I decided to keep the fenders, just couldn't go through with cutting them off. I like the look of it! Make sure to check out the latest videos on the build!
I did something very similar. I took a drag slash and put on the jconcepts animals and the front rib tires. I'm also running a Baad racing long travel kit
A long travel kit may be in the future for this. Just need to figure out those rear axles.
Keep it clean
It definitely won't stay too clean unfortunately in the mud and sand haha
Remind me of a gasser by the way you should put a functional parachute on there
That sounds really cool but having to repack it after every pass for an RC car does not sound fun hahaha
@@FullThrottleRC you could do a fake parachute
I throw paddles on some of my drag cars and take them out in sand, it's fun but it's really hard on axles
I don't think I'd throw paddles on my drag car like the DR10M. Thinking about all that dirt in that car makes me cringe hahaha
@@FullThrottleRC ahh it's all toys, i just hit it with some compressed air and move on with life lol
👍🏾💯
😁😁
Sounds like a Lafayette La accent.
Hahaha pretty close! About an hour and a half to two hours out!
@@FullThrottleRC Baton Rouge is where I’m from. When I go to Lafayette area, the accents get thick lol
how do you think a no prep body would fit a 2wd slash with traxxas bf goodrich rally tires? im considering using the 1980 malibu for a vintage rwd rally/hill climb build but plan on running it with a full size rally tire and little ground clearance and travel? ive never actually seen one in person. THANKS! WILL SUBSCRIBE!
Those tires should be roughly the same size as a standard SC style drag slick. Maybe a little taller with the tread pattern but it should fit under the body. There may be rubbing though, I still have rubbing with my slicks. But they should still fit.
Great videos. Do you think there is any merit to running a rear sway bar in drag racing?
Absolutely! My DR10M has a rear sway bar and this one had one as well when I ran it as my no prep car. I've removed it for now for the build but it'll likely go back on when I start running.
@@FullThrottleRC Only one I can find on the market for slash 2wd is the Hot Racing. Do you recommend?
@@mattster197 I don't have any experience with the slash so I can't really recommend anything as I haven't tried any myself. I do know drag race concepts makes some stuff for the slash though. You could check them out
@@FullThrottleRC I'm gonna have to say no to the DRC stuff. They want you to replace A arms, the shock tower etc. to use their stuff. Going to give HR a shot.
Gonna be a RIPPER , NO PREP Dirtster ! Great Build
I'm hoping so!! Hoping it's a handful to drive!
Longer wb, cut the fenders and let it rip!
I'm actually liking the short wheelbase the more I look at it and work on it. I know it won't be as good for performance but it looks sweet.
I've seen a few ppl taking there old nprc cars and doing sand drags with them. Why did you not leave the ride height the same and put the paddle tires on? Just wondering? I have a old car I've been thinking about doing g the same with.
I wanted to have more of a long travel suspension setup. I'll use it as a "sand" drag build in a way but I also want to run it as a sort of dune buggy, hitting rough terrain and jumps and such. I wasn't really sure how to get the long travel I wanted without the ride height raising
@FullThrottleRC that makes sense. Like I said I have a old car and the sand/mud drags looks like a blast.
I would of kept the longer wheelbase, no bumper magnet mounts and as close to original look as possible. Kinda had a gasser feel with the longer wheelbase and nose up attitude.
I think it'll still have a gasser feel to it. But I think I'm wanting it to be more of an off road truck, sort of the sand dune racer look. I might play around with the no bumper look though. We'll see.
Hey man I know this video is super old but I’m getting a dr10 and it has no wheels what size front wheels do you use 😅I’m not worried about the backs ima get some slash paddles on there
This is a dirt drag build so you could run a bunch of different things if that's what you're going for too. I'm using 2.2 wheels up front, the standard buggy size I believe that you typically see on drag cars. And then I actually put a set of 2.2 truck tires on them to give them sort of a sand dune tire look
@@FullThrottleRC sweet I’m gonna make it a sand build as well I have a dirt road and 1/4 of it’s all soft sand I think it will be fun thanks man even after a yearof this video being up still answering questions is amazing love to see it you just gained a sub and probably a long term supporter I don’t plan on getting out of rcs ant time soon
@@kamrinehart appreciate the love! Good luck on your build
Tonight on street outlaws:
Hahahaha, might have to open up the first running video with that!
Are you in Louisiana?
Yep!
I need to stop watching your videos lol you got me into no prep and now this
Hahahaha thanks for the support!! That's how I got into rc in general and how I ended up with almost every one I have. It all started with watching videos!!
