Post your drag times here!!!! FUN!!!
Okay I want to start this thread to see how hot everyone's mods are. This is a simulated 1/4 mile drag. Scale is actually abit over 47ft so let's make it 50 for convienence sake (and because that's what the mini-z guys are doing and I want to show them that the xmod guys CAN keep up with them). Use stopwatch or lap counter. I will post mine this weekend (as long as it don't rain).
Rules....
1. Don't lie, it's pointless.....
2. Post ALL of your upgrades ie....motor type,# of teeth on gear used, # of cells, bearings, glued tires, shaved springs etc......anything that did not come in the original unopened xmods box.
3.List the surface you ran on ie carpet, concrete, blacktop etc.....
4. Just like a REAL drag race, begin at a complete stop....NO ROLLING STARTS!!!! NO RUNNING DOWNHILL!!!!!!
5.HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

come on guys, basic algebra :P
50ft/4.8sec * 60sec/min * 60min/hr * 1mile/5280ft = 7.1Mph

I haven't done any "quarter mile" runs, but my XMODS has been clocked on radar at 11.2 mph in stock for form.

If the algebra is saying that it goes 7.1mph then how come when I set my treadmill to 15mph my car has no problem going faster???

No idea. I don't see any mistakes in the math, its just unit conversion really. Also remember that the drag time is from a stop and the 7mph is not your top speed, but your avg. over 50 ft.

Just tested with my friends rsx, mods include awd and light kit everything else stock.
avg time was 4.4 sec and best was 4.35
I was very surprized to find these cars so consistent.
NOTES: this was run on a slight incline but I ran it both up and down to get an average. Did not seem to make a difference in time though.
This was run on a freshly paved asphalt road, so it was only slighty bumpy.
Hope to see a stage 10 time!

I think RedRSX is right, you don't scale time. So your 4.X times are exactly that for 1/4 mile time. And it makes sense to me because Xmods look like they are going faster than their 1:1 counterparts would (11mph = over 300mph!).
