yea that might not be a bad idea...I also need a 100% sure-fire way to align the chassis'...because I dont want to get the Chassis' glued/puttied together than have it drift...I don't know....
And for how "complicated" this was...I still dont know how to lift a body, lift the suspension, or add a telescopic anntenea to MS controller

First, The truck body is just for now....Untill I can figure out how to make my own dragster body.
Second, The wheels turn at close enough speed for now, I'm not running it a whole lot (for fear of it burning up) but I'm thinking I might want different drivetrain distribuision, like, 70/30% so its more FWD, so on launches it grabs better, and doesnt wheelie, but i dont know if that will screw up the full speed driving when the front tires stop pulling but the back keep pushing..(if that made sense)

well, to be honest, I dont know how to lower it...so I'll just have to wait and see till' i finish the body.
Thanks everyone for the positive comments...I will post up many more details when its totally done. (right now its kind of a mess...I got it running, but its not wired perfectly, and I'm afraid i'm gonna fry it, so I gotta re-wire it with fresh wires and good solder...+ i have to add 1 more cell and fit the body correctly..
Time for bed now though! Good night!

There is no steering hog. He basically took two rears and transplanted one on the front.

You should try to put it together with a slight pivot point in the middle. Then you could hook up a 3rd motor to the pivot and steer it. Since it is a drag car, you could make the pivot VERY slight, so it wouldn't turn much at all.
P.S. Don't put 4 cells on there. Stop at 3. i put 4 cells with 2 motors on my Zap. It was the fastest thing I have ever seen. Both motors were in the rear. After 30 seconds of use, it was fried. What fried it was putting extra drag on the motors ie... holding the wheels under power, like pushing an object.
Stick with 3 cells man. Or do 4 cells with one motor. That would be a whole different project, though.
Good Job. Sorry bout the death of your steering, though.
