RC Funny Car

Jo_Tang_13 Sunday, 4/12/2026

I've always wanted the Traxxas RC Funny car but it's pricey and I have nowheres to drive it. So I made a 1/64 RC Funny car using a Hotwheels RC I found on sale on Amazon.

I had to remove a lot of plastic to make the Mustang Funny Car body fit but it was worth it! Super fast and much easier to drive with the diecast body.

Thanks everyone :) I'm going to conduct some tests to see if it's speed is scale to a full size funny car. I'm thinking of doing the tests on orange track and some smooth cement. It's a handful to drive just like the funny cars in the latest NHRA video game haha


Nice!

I conducted the first round of speed runs on cement and was able to complete a 1/64 scale 1000 (15.625) foot pass in 2.8 seconds! Which is faster then a full-scale Funny Car. Here's the video of it: youtu.be/m64Abh7POWI?si=X4NAJ_hhNqNAC9RP

I have a plan to make a more to scale speed 1/64 rc funny car soon just waiting on the parts :D
