Doing some testing with the new Jag Hobbies DR-1 chassis.
Similar to other E/T's posted by members here the stock chassis out of the box was running mid to high .7's @ 18 mph. Time for some modifications. I changed out the 7/25 gearing to a 8/20. The pinion is from BSRT. The crown gear, I'm not sure, it was in my parts box and I was able to trim the back side flange to make it fit. I removed the traction magnets and like others, glued 2 neo disc magnets which gave the chassis better down-force. I used wizard Delrin rear wheels, jel claw buggy tires and trimmed a little bit of the chassis around the traction magnets to slam the body. Front wheels are 1/24 scale Pro Track wheelie bar wheels. After lapping the gears, adding braid to the pick up shoes and a wheelie bar.... this car was running consistent .49's @ 29mph on 20 Volts.
Jag Hobbies did a great job with this chassis and the modifications are endless. Narrow rear end, long wheel base and inline motor makes this a great chassis for HO drag racing.
I was playing with 3 traction magnets (too much DF) and no wheelie bar before dropping back to 2 and adding a wheelie bar.
