can you really charge that a123 Pack in 15 Minutes?... ur using the 2300 or the 4600 mah pack?

I usually use the original charger to charge them to 36 volts and then I use my Astro 109. I charged them at 5amps and they seem to take it with easy. The pack is a 10S1P.

Today I blew the capacitor on the esc. The truck ran strong for around 5mins and then the capacitor blew.

New pictures of the truck. Now it has a 3695/MicroCar, Hacker ION-X motor and 2 36 volts packs in parallel. I will make a video of the truck running with the 16/65 gear and then I'll make one with the 22/65.

Lutach,

Dual 36V packs?

I'm impressed and scared at the same time! LOL!

I did run it for a little bit. The truck coggs at low end, but then when it gets moving it is kind of scary.

Is the power "out of control" ?

Seems like it would be outrageous to me.

It has a ton of torque steer. The packs are on the left side and when it goes it wanders to the right.

I guess that's not surprising really.

Crazy project! Fun to see!

I just came back from a quick test with the 16/65 gears and decited to put the 22T pinion back in. The truck is fast with the 16T, but I need to go faster. I also ran the truck for 15mins. to see if anything would over heat. The controller was warm and the motor was just a bit warmer than the controller. I'm now charging the packs and after 15mins. they still had 33.45 volts left in them.

Nice!! got to love the Power!!

New video of the truck 88MPH!!!!
 

WOW!!! 88MPH out of a 15+ pounds truck. The video says everything.

If anyone has any tips on how to make it faster, please let me know. I want to make it go 100MPH.

I just got finished reading RC Car Action that showed the 2006 speed event and the fastest truck was a Savage that went 61+ MPH. I guess I have a new record then.

Yes you do my friend... Very nice video...

Is the radar in MPH or KPH?.. it's looks like KPH..:)

Thats is just incredible. Congrats on the record!!
