Default Xmod Dragster
this is my fully functioning dragster prototype. the frame is put together with aluminum rods i got from the hardware store. all the pieces are fitted together then bolted tight. i dont know if these are the wheels im going to stick with but ill post pics at every stage. i have been looking at a few different bodies and have a good idea how im going to cover the front . but i dont want to make anything permanent as im going to go with a 2 cell lith and some other suspension upgrades. hope you like it so far.

not so far....i dont have much room inside so i cant go full blast but it handles really well, i was really surprised with it. of course it has a wide turning radius but functions like a regular xmod. hopefully i can get it out to run it wide open soon. i have a ton of ideas for the body ... if i didnt have to pay some bills, id have this thing 100% by monday..lol
