"Has anyone souped up a Vanessa's Lunchbox? I have one and found
it races well with a stock engine (drag racing on smooth concrete).
I have a race coming up with a rather formitable opponent, he has
a MONSTER BEETLE, I am not sure what he has for a chassis, it may
be stock. Not sure of the engine either, I suspect it's aftermarket.
Has anyone got a recommended set up for this application. I have
until Dec. 18th to get my act together....Thanx,
Dan

HI DAN,
MY NAME IS ANGEL AND I'M ALOT INTO MONSTER TRUCKS. I ALSO
HAVE A VANESSA'S LUNCHBOX (SOUPED UP). YOU HAVE BETTER
CHANCES IN SOUPING UP YOUR TRUCK AND WINNING THE RACE.
FIRST OF ALL VANESSA'S LUNCHBOX IS A LIGHTER TRUCK THEN
THE MONSTER BEETLE. BUT IF HE HAS HIS TRUCK SOUPED UP, HE
COULD WIN THE RACE IF YOUR IS NOT SOUPED UP.
HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU COULD DO TO SOUPED UP YOUR TRUCK.
REPLACE MOTOR WITH A TRINITY PURE GOLD OR A TWISTER 2WD
TITAL OVAL/DRAG MOTOR (TOWER HOBBIE HAS IT ON SALE FOR 44.95).
REPLACE MANUAL SPEED CONTROL WITH AN ELECTRONIC ONE (ARISTO-
CRAFT SP0900 W/REVERSE & BRAKES). INSTALL A HEAVY DUTY
FRONT END. SOMETHING ELSE THAT WILL HELP IS TRY TO MAKE
A LONGER WHEELY BAR SO IT COULD KEEP THE TRUCK FROM DOING
HIGH WHEELIES.
YOU'RE GOING TO NOTICE THE SUPER SPEED ON THE TRUCK IF YOU
DO THESE MODIFICATIONS.
GOOD LUCK WITH THE RACE......
ANGEL
MONSTER TRUCK MASTER
