I just order 2 bodys :
Proline slipstream:

Jconcepts illusion lost 8t 2.0 body:

Which one do you guys like?

BP-Revo 09.14.2009 02:30 AM

It is of my opinion that the slip stream will be faster. The illuzion is a nitro body, so part of it is designed to provide airflow to the motor and what not. Also, just looking at it, it's not exactly the most aerodynamic body.

The slip stream is designed for an E-Revo, and it is extremely close to just being a huge low profile bubble, which is very good for reducing drag.

Good luck, 100mph on 6S in an MT would be quite an achievement.

Rivermaxx 09.14.2009 03:43 AM

I was thinking the illusion would be good because of the low roof design. I also thought the ramped front will provide the necessary down force needed to keep the front down. 100mph on 6s with a MT is definitely going to be a challenge.Thanks I will probably need the luck.

I believe jzemaxx. I've followed all of it. I imagine you'll hear from him shortly, he should have some good advice. Good luck.

Rivermaxx 09.14.2009 11:07 AM

I am sure he did it also. I am just saying the video could of been a little better. His setup is double my voltage with 12s compared to 6s with a bigger motor and I am sure a heavier truck. Anybody know what esc he was using for 12s. How about batteries? Speaking of batteries anybody have any sugestions? Obviously I need a high c rating with alot of mah. I want to keep them as light as possible yet also I dont want to break the bank and be able to use them later with the Silverback build.

Kcaz25 09.14.2009 11:17 AM

One of these two I thinkCLICK CLICKY

Hyperion G3 VX's true 35C rating, up to 6500mah...

He used a castle creations hv110.

A 1515 just doesn't have enough power to reach 100mph, especially limiting voltage to 6s. For a realistic chance you need a 1521 atleast if not a 1527. I've got a 1521 you could run on 12s:whistle:

I have been 140mph on gps in that boat and it will go faster ~160mph but not with me in it.
All I am saying is the video basically sucks and really doesn't prove he did it. Harold can you see the speed on the gps I know I cant. 95000rpm 1521 1.5d is awfully fast I thought 60000 was the limit.

The sound of the blowers when the cam lobes over gave me wood. Will you build a motor for my chevelle?:intello:

Can't see the gps, but I can read people and situations and followed the progress of that truck all along. IMO he did it to do it, and then he moved on, no BS. He spent his time trying to make a truck go fast, not trick people on youtube.

60,000 is the companys safe limit for neu's. many push them beyond that, and I don't doubt at all that he used a 1.5d on 12s for his speed runs and they lasted. I myself have ran a 7700/kv castle motor on 3s. While they will certainly fail, for all out speed runs you've got to push the envelope.

It's only 68,000rpm at 3.0v/cell!!!

That blower surge gave me wood as well!! I love dual big block boats. My Uncle has 2. A late 80's 29' Scarab Panther with 2 502ci at 600hp each. She's a heavier hull than newer boats but cuts waves with ease, tops out at about 75mph. His other is a 36' Eliminater with 2 572's, not sure which drives, but i've been 104mph on the gps in that boat. That gave me wood as well!

Nic Case was running 12s on the 1521/1Y, just a tad over 70,000 rpm.

Harold ,That erevo hit 91.7 with a 1515 1.5 d on 6s. Buggies are hitting over 100mph with a even smaller 1512 1.5d on 6s. Why do you think its not possible? My truck is lighter lower and more compact and I am definatly going to have better lighter wheels and tires . I also have a little higher gearing. I dont see why it is'nt plausible but we will see. This reminds me of this guy named craig a blower guru @ BDS (Blower drive service) . He said I wouldn't break a 1000hp with my setup no matter what. Well on the dyno I surpassed it by 80 hp and it was still going up pulling past 6500 rpm. Just goes to show you anything is possible.
Since nobody is noticing they different parts on my truck. I am going to give some of them away. Look at the arms dont they look a little narow ? Those are the first gen narrow rpm aarms that were made for original maxx trucks. I figured those will help make the truck more compact. Also if you look closely those are UE titanium cvd's to futher reduce weight (lighter than the current stock plastic axles). If you notice the longer extended hardcore titanium skid. I wanted to lengthen the chassis without using the heavier monoblock. I am going to make a lite weight carbon fiber top plate also.

You definitely have the recipe for sucess. You're just at the limits of physics! You should have had a few sets of wheels made, I'd have bought a set.

I like the looks of the JConcepts body, purely aesthetic, but I like it.

I can't wait to see the speeds you pull. I'm no doubter, just playing the devils advocate, if you will:diablo:

Pretty sure he told me that he used the Turnigy I linked for the XTM speed runs in question.

YESSIR:yes:

Rivermaxx 09.15.2009 06:46 PM

Those wheels and tires are not going to be cheap. Totally custom special made. Nobody else will have a set.

Buy a gyro for some steering stability
