I'm not showing off by any means, but if you look at the people who were looking for speed records, I am one of those wierdos, and I once posted a thread in this forum that is named : My dream E-Maxx, just to make my friends over here have a picture of the Captains mind. The E-maxx of my dream has always been a full aluminum/ titanium/ steel truck all over with a ceramic bearing kit and two Schulze 40.160 each one is worth $ 600+ and each one would be coupled with a Lehner 2280/9-10 turn motor and each motor would be fed atleast by a 10+ cells li-polies. This is, but a dream of mine that would cost me at least a $6000 and I would not ask any people to sponser me, because they simply cannot sponser me and because they need to sponser themselves first. The RDX will not tolerate the extreme torque of a brushless motor at a high cell counts, since the belts will wear out faster than you may think and they will slip alot during accelerations and brakings. The 4wd that was used to accomplish a 96mph speed record is a shaft driven touring car. The motor was a reedy Sonic with cobalt magnets and 12 turn rotor. My guess is that if the car used a Neodym brushless motor at 16.8 volts it would not stand the power and what you will get is a bent center shaft and worn out crown gears. The brushed motor went easy on the transmission system, since it is a precision liteweight system designed for 95-190 watts rated motors. If you want to reach 100 mph, then go for a pan car like a rc10l3 or go for a 1/8TH scale onroad machine like a Mugen MRX-4 and convert it to an electric car using a 500 size brushless motor, at least 10turns and a 3295 controller supported by 10 cells lipos. This is only a point of view I wanted to share with you so dont take me wrong if I said something awful. Cheers.
