Fast FWD Grudge Match...

Jump to last page

A little while ago, Traction Event suggested a race where everyone uses the same car...the Fast FWD. I thought this was a good idea, but there wasn't a lot of interest...so, TE suggested a Grudge Match.

We agreed on any wheels, 40 grams.

TE is going to run the race when he runs the Wagon War race...so, if you'd like in on the race, just get your car to him.

Here's my entry...

Found a Fast FWD in the grocery store today. Working late tonight my mind is running way to fast. After I think and cut I plan on sending it to TE.

Hey Mike,

I'm glad that you are joining the fun! There's no real plan for this one...any wheels, 40 grams and starts life as a peg-warmer Fast FWD!

I think the cars are coming back to NJ after they race in Michigan,  but if you want to be in that loop too, that's cool...the cars can go down to Georgia and race on FatMike Speedway!

And, if anybody else want a to join the fun, grab a Fast FWD and build a car that's been hanging on the pegs for the last few years!  And if you don't get it done for the Wagon Wars race, just send it to whoever currently has the cars!

Lets Race!


  • Yeah, we can send them Georgia. I can see it now "The FWD's came down to GA" — FatMike

I just wanted to stir the pot on this match-up!

These cars will be running this weekend before the Wagon Wars get started.

But, if anybody wants to build one of these guys, grab one off the pegs and build it...TE or I will send you the cars and you can host your own Grudge Match! 40 grams and FTE wheels! I think that the cars will be headed my way after the Wagon Wars, and I'll run them on my tracks.

No dates set in stone...if you build one, you get the cars until the next person builds one! Pretty simple!


  • My grudge car is in the wagon box I'm sending TE today. — FatMike
  • Hope your cars are up to it because mine is fast for a change. I'm kind of proud of it. — FatMike
  • Awesome! We'll find out this weekend! — 72_Chevy_C10

Cool, looks like 3 are in for this race, I'll sort out some race point system up where we all race each other twice.


  • Sorry, I completely missed this until it was too late. It would have been fun. — Dadvball
  • DVB, build one...more rules to follow.... — Traction-Event
  • Any way you want to race them is ok with me. I'm looking foward to this. — FatMike

This will be a revolving, evolving series...bragging rights only at this point. This first race will be run and won by somebody... Winner car stays as is till beat by another car. Everyone but the winner can rebuild, or build another car in an effort to knock off the champ. After the race here, I will mail all the cars to whoever wants to host next. Anyone and everyone can enter, just follow the build rules in the first post.

Make sense?

This type of race will be a good way to get people into modding cars...they will get the cars sent to them so they can see how other people mod their cars! And how fast the cars are!

And, with no set dates, you can build a car whenever you've got some free time.

I k kinda like this format! :)

  I was wondering if Smitty was going to turn one of these ugly ducks into a gasser. What think?


  • that would be one short wheel-based gasser! — 72_Chevy_C10
  • i couldn't build a car like that... i just couldn't think of anything.. so 5th place should be wide open ! — model40fan

  • three cars enter, one car leaves...three cars enter, one car leaves :) — 72_Chevy_C10
  • This should be fun. I'm looking forward to it — FatMike

First one is in the books, video to follow...(short)

Attempted some slow motion for the close battles...and no matter how many lights I put in the basement..dark cars are real hard to see on the black track.

The winner will be shipped off to whomever wants to host this next, hopefuly we get a few more racers next time.

Enjoy!

  • Congrats TE! If you want to ship them with the Wagons, I'll run them here (I have another Fast FWD on my workbench) :) — 72_Chevy_C10
  • Congrats TE and C-10. Wow I finished 3rd. Guess I'll be working late nights till next race. Good job hosting, Thanks! — FatMike
  • 3rd is still on the podium... — Traction-Event
  • Yeah, I'll tell folks 3rd instead of last. LOL — FatMike
  • FM 3rd and C10 next to last and TE barely beats C10. That does look better. — FatMike
  • Good, close racing, FM! I think the cars are headed here...I'll see how they do on my orange track! — 72_Chevy_C10
  • Maybe that will change my luck. The car was fast on my blu trak but I didnt really have anything like yall's cars to compare with. — FatMike
  • We'll see, Mike! — 72_Chevy_C10

This is an interesting series...when I shake this cold, I'll keep an eye out for Fast 4WDs.  Will this be ongoing--endless?


  • I think it be going on until it runs out of steam...I like that you can build a car whenever you want and race — 72_Chevy_C10
