Carbon Fiber GTP
 
3 Attachment(s)
So I have finished my GTP SSG Graphite Chassis and ESC/Rear chassis brace.I decided not to use the side mudguards.I also widened the chassis on the motor side 6mm.This thing is a rocket,I did some speed runs and with the foam tires its alot easier to control at high speed.It has a Neu 1515.5y/s with mild settings on the MMM and 3s lipo..The fan only came on twice in 70f weather.:whip:

Purrrrrrty! I'd venture into some better lipos though, maybe some TP 40c packs?

How is the foam tires on asphalt surface? Does it last long? I have a 1/8 buggy that I put a 1515 1.5D and 5S with a 20/43 gear. The only tires that lasted a long time was the road rage tires. Also can you tell me what kind of tires so I can try one out. I mostly ran in the parking lot. Thanks.

You may want to give these tires a try:

They should last a bit longer than the foams and still provide great traction.

I know they are good for 103mph on a GTP....

That looks like a land rocket. Nice work on the carbon fiber.

Get the GPS on it and give us some numbers! :)

Nice car!

Monk,

Is your setup equivilant to the castle 2650 or the 2200? I plan on running the MMM 2200 on 16 and 21V geared at 20/51, metal spur of course. And I am looking for some black 4mm carbon fiber to cut my chassis. Your work has inspired me.

BL_RV0 05.05.2009 10:41 PM

His motor is 4400kv, and he runs it on 3s. That is equivelant to the 2200 on 6s.

Let me guess, he has owned a bunch of different packs from all the good names and has found through extensive testing that maxamps offers the best cells for the price!

I doubt he just bought maxamps and decided they must be the best by comparing the performance to his tenergy nimhs...

Yep,"we tried a bunch of different cells and find maxamps to be the best on runtime, power, and quality" or some shit to that nature. They still try that shit on me everytime I walk in. "So when are you going to buy some good packs?" I just laugh and say I already have them.

I guess I will have to bring the 7th scale over there and show them up with some polyquest packs!

And it is someones b-day tomorrow! With only 365days in a year and 6+ billion people on the planet I have a feeling it is more than just one person's b-day. It is also the 29th anniversary of Mt. St. Helens erupting!
