USAIN Bolt last night made himself the biggest star athletics has seen since Carl Lewis, annihilating the field in the men's 100m sprint final, running 9.69sec to break his own world record....

From the humble beginnings of a small community, Usain Bolt was crowned king of the sprint world when he achieved the coveted Olympic sprint double at the 29th Olympiad in Beijing

Bolt stunned the world when he produced an exhilarating performance, as he stormed to victory in a new world record....

Bolt achieved the unthinkable when he destroyed his field by the largest margin of victory in Olympic history...

What was even more exhilarating was the dominant fashion in which Bolt achieved his victories. In both sprints, he seemed like a man with no equal, nonchalantly dismissing his field on both occasions...

A foretaste of what awaited the world, Bolt unveiled his true potential...

He went on to dominate several national, regional and extra-regional meetings, sprinting to impressive wins and setting a plethora of new records...

this was a amazing performance , probably get athelete of the year.
but he did shut down the power by the 3/4 mark of the race each time.will the new car be up to that?

maybe the "Putnam Pro-force"


(of course i'll want one, unless i win the sprinter from the JRC points drawing,mike make sure my 3 tickets are in the drawing)

I think if you move the servo out about a foot, and the reciever about 10" to the right it just might fit?? :rolleyes:

Well, the Putnam Pro-Nitro BOLT Sprint Car is finally a reality.

For those who are unaware, the BOLT offers the best of both worlds: a CW Enforcer rear end and a Putnam Pro-Terminator front clip. Cars are available in both Nitro and Electric versions.

We offer a conversion kit for the CW GBX Enforcers, (both Electric and Nitro), which allows any CW owner to "BOLT" a Terminator front end to their CW Sprint utilizing our conversion chassis and front clip.

Of course, the Putnam Pro-Nitro Bolt is available as well as a complete roller as well.

For the production BOLT'S maiden voyage, we decided to take on the best in the Nation and to debut the BOLTS at the 2008 CW US Open Wheel Champs. When the dust settled, the fastest Limited Sprint at the event was none other than our Putnam Pro-Nitro BOLT-

Check out our results thread for more BOLT race results!

Todd- any testing done with Buggy tires on loose with the Bolt Nitro Sprinter? I know NSCS country is always looking for great sprint cars.

Todd Putnam
December 28th, 2008, 12:45 PM
We have not done any rubber tire testing yet, but considering the dominance of the CW cars on loose dirt, couple that with our Terminator-style front end and I am confident we will have a winner.

With our latest "XL" Front Arm, we now offer (3) different width front arms for our Terminator-style front end. I think we have all the bases covered for rubber tire, but will have to test to make sure.

I ran one of the prototype cars (electric) on the loose dirt all summer, and ran well all summer with it. The setup i ran might be a decent starting point for ya. I would get on dynotech's website and run his long arms for the havoc front and rear, as they will work on your car. Or you can run the putnam arms... i missed the post above where he said they have them now.


Front- tc3 shocks (stock shock shafts), silver buggy AE springs, #2 piston, 40 wt. oil. Camber links in the middle hole on the bulkhead. Not a lot of droop, unless the car got loose off.

Rear- b4 buggy front shocks, 8# kipps/rc4less springs, #2 piston, 40 wt. oil, camber links long as possible and high as possible on the shock tower. 1 degree toe on both sides.

I built the prototype sprint car last year and tested it on loose dirt. It has definite potential, the long arms are a good start as well as making a battery holder to stand the battery up on the left side of the car. I would love to do more testing but need some parts......Todd????

Thanks for the input on the Rubber Tire/Loose track thoughts. The NSCS racers have been looking for some very good loose track sprinters.....would be great to see some Putnam sprinters run in the area.
