I Tried Building the Ultimate Rc Drag Car… Big Twist

Building the ultimate RC drag car didn’t go to plan. This USA‑inspired £2000 build took a big twist when the chassis I bought was wrong — and Scorched Parts came to the rescue. This full build video covers everything from unboxing the Hobao VTE2 1/7 Extreme to transforming it into a serious RC drag platform. We sourced premium parts from the USA for this project, aiming to create a sub‑2‑second capable drag car with no expense spared. Things took a turn when the chassis we were sold in the USA turned out to be incorrect, forcing a complete rethink of the build. Scorched Parts stepped in with their drag‑specific chassis, completely changing the direction of the project and saving the entire build. In this video we go through the full teardown, donor conversion, electronics setup, and every component that goes into a high‑end RC drag car. No running footage in this episode — this is all about the specs, the parts, the upgrades, and the full assembly process. If you're into RC drag racing, speed builds, Hobao VTE2 conversions, Scorched Parts chassis setups, or extreme RC projects, this video breaks down everything you need to know. This is one of the most detailed RC drag car builds we’ve ever attempted, with over £2000 invested into making this machine as strong, straight, and fast as possible. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thercstore please feel free to support us by buying us a coffee and keeping new content flowing. simply click the link above.
