m4inbrain Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 A drag light without staging lights. Not gonna get into price and stuff, but what's the point of this if you could just use a randomised timer on your phone. The most important part of the tree are the staging lights to get cars lined up properly. That should be the main feature, getting two cars lined up exactly equal before they launch - not a randomised flashlight for probably around £100 (or more). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) It's designed around street racing and no prep drag racing essentially replaces the guy in-between the cars with the flash light that signals to go (or in proper english a torch lol). So it's just a really fancy torch, though would probably be handy if there's just two of you and no one to hold said torch. Traxxas did do a full Christmas tree style light set but I don't know if they still do it or plan to bring it back.

m4inbrain Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 While true, the guy running backwards in no prep with the torch also judges whether one jumps or not. Something else that's missing here. Rules like a chase is a race exist for that reason, but well.. I guess i expect too much from a toy race light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
