Worlds Fastest RC car record

[Rtsbasic]

The more cells, and the higher voltage you pack in there, the less amount of amps each cell has to dish out. Your probably looking at around 1500w peaks to break 100mph.

For the record there are packs out there that will handle just about any reasonable amp load without any problems. Koham 3200 20C's are one type of cell that handle large amp bursts. A 7-8 cell pack of these might get you close to what you want on the right motor. Your talking lots of $$, and in this day and age I don't see you getting these packs for free.

Btw with 8 nimh cells your not getting 90mph with your 540 6s. I have one, I run it on 8 cells often, it can get a fairly light car upto around 65mph, but no more. Any more than 8 cells on a 6s will probably kill it pretty quick.
