the fastest emaxx does anybody know
 

what is the fast speed a emaxx has done. or landspeed records for emaxx

I think i heard of someone going 116km/h which is something like 65mph or something. Im sure it can go faster, just put a brushless set up and high as gearing cause acceleration doesnt matter

116 km/h is 72.5 mph.

I don't know, Promod might be up to something, you never know..

you should be able to get up to 100mph aye? that would be real fast lol

sure....

i have heard 86mph .truck could do more but tyres became unstable

who was it? got a movie? i allmost can't believe it.

i suppose you could use tape on the inside of the tyre to help stablise them

How come u dont believe it serum? You know heaps about brushless and electric and the power it puts out.

Because if it's true, at least one of us would of heard about it with more detail. ;)

got a link to this?

i am just interested in what motor he used and how many cells.

With a 10S2P lipo it would be possible i guess. the HPI nubz have got some lines inside the tires that would keep them from balooning.

i read it in a forum about 4 months ago . it could be full of sh** .cant remember were . i have been looking for land speed records tonight with no luck . but i remeber they said they were running 6x 6 cell 3000 pk would not tell with motor .one guy guessed it was a drill motor or something

they did say that the tyres were balloning . thats why they could not get it to run any faster

it is not possible with a brushed motor and 36 cells to get to this speed. sounds like crap to me.

with brushless and 36 cells you are not able to get to this speed.

ill put my old harddrive in tomorrow and see if i can find it .iam sure that i saved it .so then i can send it and you can pick the shit out of it . what is the highest speed that you have heard

116 km/h

This one probably isnt the fastest but would be one of the biggest lol

Is that a closet or RC?

lol I wonder how it goes? i think he must of used a table top as the chassis.

har to tell, it's ugly for sure..

don't see any use of this..

I hope it uses more than just those 5 cells... :eek:

I think it might be for robot wars .

Anybody know the current record for a 1/10 touring car.Is it 130 something mph?

Yeh, by HPI or Associated I belive. 121mph.

it looks to heavy to be to fast

Hmmm,shouldn't be so hard,i wonder if it's possible to make a little wind tunnel using an office fan and a pack of Marlboros:L:

Associated made the speed record with their TC3 at 96mph using a brushed motor with cobalt magnets and a lrp esc with 14 cells. Their pan car made a 111+ speed run with an Aveox motor and 24 cells. I believe my Evo IV can make such speed with the 1930/5 turn. I have to figure out the weak points in my chassis first, beef it up and then I'll send you a vid. G Maxx, I also read in one of the forums about a T-maxx or an E-maxx that reached 86-89 mph. Too bad I dont remember where was that thread.

The fastest speed i ever seen documented(Magazine or otherwise) was Cliff Lett of Team Associated at Irwindale raceway. he used a rc10L on road car and a tc3 on different speed runs. The Pan car ran at 111mph before it crashed and according to Cliff "he still had trigger left" on the touring car he ran 95mph in both 2wd and 4wd.

If you look closer at the pic, its using Lead acid batts, the 5cells are a BEC. Lead acid batts are by no means light. Chassis is laminated chipboard - I rest my case. My granny could run faster than that.

Are you sure? I bet you could use one of the big lehner 30 series on 36 cells in a light truck and get that speed.

The 3080 needs some 60V to give its full power. So I guess 20 lipos are quite good for that motor.

where would u find a controller that could handle 60 volts or 20 lipos

Probably connect x2 controllers to the motor?!! x2 160.40:L:

You probably need close to 10,000 watts to get an emaxx to 100 mph. I'm not joking. At 100 mph, there will be 25-30 times the wind resistance, vs. the wind resistance at 30 mph. You'll need to add extra weight to the truck just to keep it on the ground.

So the 3080 is the way to go, I guess.

would a super custom aerodynamic body shell work? I mean - bring the shell down over the wheels and just about to the floor kinda thing.....
Just to help in the aero dept for a bit more gain do you think? or would it be too much effort and not enough gain out of the idea?

ya know - just while we're on the convo of fast trucks and all...and i know that with the TC's they use 'special' bodies for high speed runs right? :)


and seriously - what controller would actually run that 30xx series??? sounds like military shit to me -lol-

It depends on the 30 series motor you get. If you get the ones with the lower kv you need more cells. If you get a 30 series and put 40 cells on it. You sure enough going to need some tough drive train.

Is this correct?? -lol-
Engine weight (3060) 1.2 kg (of 3080) 1.6 kg

And 1KW = 1000 watts - is this also correct? -lol-
Engine performance (3060) up to 8 KW (3080) to 11 KW

OMG!!
That'd have to be 4th, 5th scale applications right?? And bk don't even sell a controller that will handle 40+ cells do they? -lol-

Bk has a 5th scale controller out. It is huge. It has like 6 circuit boards in it. I try to find a pic. And yes that is right on the power and weight. My 2250 is 560 grams with up to 3000watts of power. But the torque of the motor is unreal. It makes the 7xl look like a titan. I have not got a good run on 16 cells yet either. I really need to. I will see how tough the ue stuff is. :D

ahhh - guess i was looking in the wrong place and using the wrong search words -lol- I could only see up to 36 cell controller on their site :) It'd be great if you could get a pic - i'd like to see just how big it is!

That's what i was thinking tho..... i knew the 22 series put out around the 3kw or whatnot mark....but the 30 series is like, 3 and 4 times that power...is this right??? - i couldn't imagine it!!! -lol- And the weight makes it sound so much bigger too!!! that's more than my whole drift car RTR for both 30series motors EACH!!

It is not as big as i remembered. Here is a pic though.

Well the rotor in a 3080 is about the size of a 540 xl motor. So it should have something. ;)
