Hey guys, I know most of you guys are Monster Truck people, but I thought some might like to see what I have been up to.

Mike has been a big help on the project. Just wanted to say thanks. :)

It looks like it could be slow. :D Have you done any speed runs with it? How does it handle? Man that is nice. Got a video?

I did have time at a drag strip, but I had lithium polymer problems. Its running on 6S BTW. Then I bent my motor shaft, but it was a 1/8 shaft and I ordered a 5mm shaft. I do have another run on the 6th of october. I will have video and speed.

holy crap look at the gearing on that :eek: bet that thing is all top end :p

Heh, figured someone would notice those gears. Those were custom machined by Cold Fusion Racing on short notice. Its running a 32 Pinion, and I have two spurs, a 32 and 28. Cold Fusion is working on some more gears for me though.

what in the world is that?!?

stampy · 09.26.2005, 06:51 PM

its a hpi of some sort

MetalMan · 09.26.2005, 06:53 PM

Which motor are you running?

PerformanceRC · 09.26.2005, 06:59 PM

Its an HPI Super RS4 with a temporary chassis, the real chassis is being machined.

Motor is a 10L.

How do you not instantly nuke the belts and stuff? I'm amazed at the gears alone, can't wait to see that thing HAUL!

BTW, it's a RS4 Super, the top deck gave it away.

MetalMan · 09.26.2005, 07:03 PM

What material will the "real" chassis be machined from? I hope CF :).

RC-Monster Mike · 09.26.2005, 07:12 PM

Looks pretty sweet, Jack! I am looking forward to the speed run results!

PerformanceRC · 09.26.2005, 07:15 PM

Real Chassis will most likely be CF. I was considering aluminum though. It would look cool polished, and weight isnt necessarily the worst thing when travelling insane speeds.

As soon as I have my foams made, and my gears from Cold Fusion, and the new 10L from Mike, I'll make a pre-test run, and then on the 6th of October I have a run at a drag strip.

SWEET!

How many cells will it drive around?

Dafni · 09.27.2005, 02:03 AM

NICE! Is this 8th or 10th scale? I once saw those 8th scale onroad nitros, and they were really really fast. Guys told me they go like 80mph.

I like your project. This is a sensible platform for insane speeds!
