Carbon Fiber GTP - 05.03.2009, 10:51 AM
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.

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

Get me back into RC!

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....

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.

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!
