Speed Update. 3S 50C EC5

Zeee 5200mah @ 9 punch BLX185 on road full throttle... pretty snappy too. Not enough to wheelie...like 4S.

Very smooth not noisy and controllable 43-45 MPH consistent over 4 runs and easy 50% braking in 100 ambient temps. Mimimal tire bloat. Excited to see my tweaks pay off. Few small 1 ft straight jumps no chassis slap. Flies great lands great too. OK super fun. Nothing broken no flips... super fun. Most precise in weeks. Super fun. Tracks straight ever since toeing slightly in front.

! Motor esc 120-24... pinion only 108?
Usually 145-50 and pinion 125.
Plastic spurs no more.....

I'm planning to slowly reverse the lousy current ECX 80% fix 20% play syndrome to more like 75% play 25% service/fix ? Hahaha ...of course improve driving skills too

RC car fun to all you good folks.

4S acceleration run... just because it's so fun... right?

Avr 38 MPH at 1/2 throttle max ...wheelies too easy to execute at any speed. Held back...

Well, 4S 50C 2200mah EC5 lipo is a solid sweet spot for this monster sct.

Blx 6/9 punch. Very smooth. Sooo torquey...! [45T+14T. 1:4 diff ratios]

Goodnight.

You're getting 72MPH on a 4x4 Torment!? ?

Nicely done @VikingRC. You gotta post some video soon!

Lol... surprisingly and very scary fast... perhaps only 2 secs enough for gps to register. Did it twice? 2nd time was fraction less.... 67...didn't want to crash. Very smooth... also that wasn't even full throttle... maybe max 2/3. Given wide road and longer... 100mph attainable... with front rear spoilers

Rem this is a 1/8 3000W 2600kv 5mm HW motor on a 14T steel pin and steel 45T mod 1.0 drivetrain.

I'm not really interested in slicks....just for fun. Lol
