Ok just used Brians calculator , with above set up it's showing 104mph but the motor will be spinning at 102000 rpm  they are only rated to 70000rpm that motor will disintegrate
Now if i use a motor around 9000kv with the same 65/40 gearing the calculator is showing 157mph with the motor at 66000 rpm which is within the limits .
I don't understand how using a lower kv motor will yield more speed , maybe the calculator is not working right .
I put 1/1 in the differential section since the pan car is direct drive and 2.5" for the tires since that's what foams come in un cut ? |
I had my 2.5T screaming for a little while doing some testing on that windy day and the motor is still good.The motor should be able to handle 102,000rpm, but if you're worried, just wait for my motor to come. It should have the rotor wrapped with Kevlar. I'm not sure how Brian's calculator work, but it give a high percent of speed loss with the higher rpm rating.
