My TC4 already does faster than 60. With 4s lipo, 23 tooth pinion, and a Twist 42, it does 60 really quickly - actually traction limited. It blows the tires all the time though.

According to the brushed drag guys, we have some millisecond initial lag where the controller tries to locate the position of the rotor. I think they're BS and that's why I wanna go prove them wrong. Those guys are not using speedos - they're using plain microswitches so it's plain off and on switch to a DC motor so they claim they have no "lag". But, the servo takes a few milliseconds to switch the switch on!

My TC4 or Pro 4 doesn't make a good drag car cuz of the inline motor and shaft. I get massive torque steer when I gun it real hard. The XXX-S G+ was a much better performer for accelerating in a straight line. But either way, I want something with a bit longer chassis to keep it more stable.
