Traxxas 1:8 Scale NHRA Funny Car

Cubic-inch for cubic-inch, no motorsport offers as much sheer power and performance as NHRA drag racing. A single funny car produces more horsepower than the first 8 rows of cars in a stock-car race. Drivers pull more than five Gs when they launch, accelerating faster than a fighter jet. Over 300mph is achieved in about the time it takes to read this sentence!

The Traxxas NHRA Funny Car Race Replica brings it all to life the Traxxas way with outrageous horsepower, intense speed, and the unmatched realism and authenticity that only comes from being both fans and dedicated participants in NHRA drag racing. The Traxxas NHRA Funny Car accurately captures the total racing experience with realistic staging action on the start line. After your burnout, shake up your opponent by being the last one to roll into the stage beam. When the lights go green, release the launch control for a perfect reaction time. You’ve already set your wheelie bar and used the multi-function knob on your transmitter to fine-tune the launch for maximum traction and acceleration. From there, it’s up to you to keep it full throttle down the track and across the finish line.

Over the Top Brushless Horsepower
NHRA Funny Cars are famous for their fire-breathing 8000 horsepower engines that deliver massive thrust and propel them to speeds over 300mph in just 4 seconds. When the light goes green, the new ET-3S brushless power system responds in an instant and unloads a massive blast of Extreme Power that rockets the Traxxas NHRA Funny Car to the finish line. There are no brushes to wear out so you can dial in consistent times and blazing speed, pass after pass. Traxxas’ patent pending staging mode allows the Traxxas Funny Car to creep right up to the starting line without giving up a millimeter to your opponent. Launch control feature lets you dial in your torque to tune your launch for varying temperatures and track conditions.

TQi 2.4GHz Intelligent Transmitter The World’s Most Advanced Radio System
The Traxxas Funny Car is equipped with the TQi,™ the world’s most advanced Ready-To-Race® radio system. The TQi radio system arrives with a full complement of tuning features including steering and throttle sensitivity; steering percentage; braking strength; servo end points, and more. The unique 4-channel transmitter allows you to select Burnout, Stage, and Race Modes. When you’re ready to pull the trigger and race, the Launch Control switch lets you hold full throttle then drop the switch to launch. As the tree counts down use the multi-function knob to dial in the ET-3S speed control’s torque settings for the quickest launches. Tune for temperature and track conditions just like the pros. The TQi’s long-range, high-output, 2.4GHz signal combines with proven Traxxas reliability for rock-solid performance. It’s so advanced, it doesn’t even need an external antenna.

  1. I’ll be getting a new Himoto 1/10th scale buggy with the .18 small block engine. Question… I want to install a .28 big block engine in this Himoto chassis. it should be straightforward install with new motor mount spacers and adjustable motor mounts. Question… do you think I will be ok with the engine swap? Thanks a head of time for any advice. I am new to buggy nitro cars, but not new to RC engines. Arless

  2. Putting a .28 size engine in a car designed for a .18 is like putting a 8000hp dragster motor in a Smart Car 🙂 I’m sure it will fit (if there is a kit designed for it), but my major concern would be the drivetrain. That much more power can put alot of stres on the drivetrain and possibly break things very easily. I would be prepared to upgrade other things like axles and gears. But hey, that’s what RC’s all about! Enjoy it!
