Our Verdict
There's nothing else like it. Purpose-built RC drag car with a wheelie bar, skinny fronts, fat rear slicks, and a Funny Car body. It fills a niche nobody else is serving. 40 mph is modest for a drag car, and the price is steep for something that only goes straight, but the experience is unique.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- +Only RTR RC drag car on the market
- +Authentic drag racing setup — wheelie bar, slicks, the works
- +Funny Car body looks fantastic
- +Launches hard with the 2WD brushless system
Cons
- -Can only go straight. Literally just straight.
- -40 mph is modest for a drag car
- -A lot of money for a one-trick vehicle
- -2WD with low clearance, so don't even think about off-road
- -Niche appeal limits resale value
