Today fans at the 3rd annual Four-Wide NHRA Nationals got their first peek at the four JFR Traxxas Funny Cars during a photo shoot beside the Traxxas fan experience zone.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19597\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"John Force Racing and their new 1\/8 Scale Funny Cars\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/John-force-racing-Traxxas-RC-funny-cars.jpg\" border=\"2\" alt=\"Scale Funny Cars, John Force Racing, traxxas funny cars\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" width=\"575\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/John-force-racing-Traxxas-RC-funny-cars.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/John-force-racing-Traxxas-RC-funny-cars-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/John-force-racing-Traxxas-RC-funny-cars-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Traxxas revealed last week a collection of fully assembled, Ready-To-Race\u00ae, Traxxas RC Ford Mustang Funny Cars.

I know this is something that our fans have been hoping for and looking forward to since the beginning of the season and so have I. Traxxas really outdid themselves on these and I think they are going to be a huge hit. I can\u2019t thank Traxxas and Mike Jenkins enough for creating these for our fans,\u201d said Force. \u201cI\u2019ve always loved RC cars since I was little, so now to see my Traxxas Ford Mustang Funny Car come together as a 1\/8 scale version that everyone can race is pretty cool.
