    Traxxas sponsors Courtney Forces funny car

    I currently own two Traxxas Spartans and I also am a drag racing fan. I could not help but notice Traxxas is sponsoring Courtney Forces funny car. It makes you wonder why? Could the first rc funny car be in the future? I think this is a great idea. Huge tire smoking drag slicks and wheelie bars to keep it on the ground. They could install front brakes so you could lock up the front end for some great burnouts. Release the brake just like a real drag car and finish the burnout. Racing your friends would be a riot. Unlike the xo1 very little room would be required to run a race. Maybe timing lights and equipment just like the real thing. If I were Traxxas I would unveil the cars at a national drag racing event and let the real pros drive them on the track against each other. The fans would love it. Is Traxxas already thinking about this or did I just plant a seed.

    Traxxas should make drag racing RC Nitro and Electric cars and trucks.
    Pin it to win it, Drive it like you stole it.

    I love the idea but form what I have seen with the XO-1

    I don't think they can compete with the drag car's that are out there.. There just too fast...

    I own a couple 1/10 scale dragster and I don't think traxxas can ever sell some thing that fast to average users.

    These cars do from 1.3 to 1.6 sec at over 100 MPH in 132FT..

    I saw a couple for sale on craigslist once and was curious about RC drag cars. It does not seem like there would be a big enough market out there for them. Your average user is'nt going to drop that kind of money on what traxxas would need to put out compete with others out there.

    Ultimately, everyone should care about their vision and want to protect it. However, there are certain groups of individuals that should especially wear sunglasses. This is for their safety, oakley outlet store and the safety of others.Find a good pair of water sunglasses, which will wrap around your head and stay in place while you ride the waves.

    In case you haven't figured it out yet, ideally everyone should wear sunglasses. There are so many different designs, styles and prices that it is difficult to come up with an excuse for not wearing them. There is simply no benefit to letting your eyes absorb the harmful UVA and UVB rays the sun emits. Be smart and care about your eyes by protecting them with sunglasses whenever you're outside. You'll be glad you did.

    It is very important that children be taught from an early age to wear sunglasses. By enforcing this from early childhood, you are creating habits they will carry with them. In addition to teaching them that sunglasses are always important, you are protecting very delicate eyes as well. Children, especially the very young, are constantly growing and developing in every way. Protecting their eyes with sunglasses from the start will reduce the damage they will pay for later in life.

    Even babies can wear sunglasses. Besides being ridiculously cute, baby sunglasses are made for a reason. Babies are, for all intents and purposes brand new, and so are their eyes. A child begins their life by being able to focus on objects only less than ten inches from their face. A pair of baby sunglasses will keep harmful rays out of your baby's young, sensitive eyes.

    Drivers are one very important group that should always have sunglasses handy. Whether you are driving your own vehicle or a bus full of people, the sun can be your enemy. Picture driving westbound down the highway at 6:00 PM, coming up over a hill and being pelted in the Louis Vuitton Evidence Sunglasses face with the sun's glaring rays. This temporary blinding could cause you not to see the traffic that stopped 50 feet in front of you. Accidents like this can be avoided by always having sunglasses in your vehicle.

    Professional drivers have an even greater need for sunglasses than the rest of us. Because they are often driving larger vehicles such as school busses or tanker trucks, their risk is much greater. If these drivers lose control of their vehicle, it is much more difficult to gain control. Again, simply by wearing sunglasses, these drivers can help avoid tragedy.

    Anyone who spends an uncommonly large amount of time in the sun should know the advantages of sunglasses. If you are particularly interested in water sports and spend a lot of time at the beach or on a lake, you could be at greater risk than most. Surfers, water-skiers and wake boarders can testify that a good pair of protective sunglasses will save a lifetime of hardship. The sun reflecting off of the water into your eyes can intensify the damage it could do.

    Elderly individuals are another group of people to whom eye protection should be important. As age progresses, the eyesight deteriorates in even the healthiest of eyes. Older individuals should always wear sunglasses when outside in the sun. Sunglasses won't stop the vision from going south, but it may slow the process. Oakley Active Antix Sunglasses Black Lemon One thing is certain, blinding sun in the eyes will speed it up the deterioration.
