| How do you feel that $1300 (USD) is high??? convert thet 975 english pound to USD and see what you get... I will say that it will be more than the $1375 that they go for in the US...
You can buy a Henseleit for under $1000 maybe but then add a engine, muffler & header and governor and see where you are... 'bout a trade off... No mess and no noise with the Joker...
Heck for that matter match up a Vigor CS or any of the top of the line, all options included, helis with engine, muffler, header, & governor and you've spent probably more than the Joker with its motor/esc...
Helinut, Your "dragster" is, I'm sure, quite a nice purpose built machine... But then you want to compare it to a stock, out of the box machine... What a cowardly thing to do (it's normally called comparing apples to oranges, not afair comparison)... I'm not into drag racing any more (got that out of my system after 12 years of racing funny cars) but what we need is to find someone to build a 60-80 size e-heli "dragster" (what a joke to call them a dragster) and see how it fairs against your "piece"...
Make plans now to be at IRCHA next year, and maybe we can see how a purpose built edrag heli will do against your world beater...
BTW, were you at IRCHA this year, I don't remember anyone just walking away with the drag racing... I believe Ron Lund won... That's not you is it???
