A new build begins! We are transforming a Pro-Line Pro-2 SCB into a Street Eliminator! In this first part of the build, Ty swaps the suspension arms, turnbuckles, shocks, front shock tower, wheels and tires, axle shafts and installs extended body mounts! Soon we will be out tearing up the street and tuning our car for consistent launches and fast passes.

Part two of the Street Eliminator build is all about installing electronics, mounting wheels & tires and painting up the Pro-Line Octane body! Ty is finalizing the build and getting it ready for the first test passes out on the street!

Finally got some nice weather to film and see how our Pro-2 Street Eliminator handles the street. No prep whatsoever on our dirty road surface and it was cold out, so traction is basically non-existent and it made for some interesting driving. We did a few launches and played around with the car a bit in the street and it is a handful!

Ty also shows how the HotWire 3.0 BLE unit works on an Android phone, makes some adjustments to increase drive-ability and goes for top speed.
