Review of Caster.... 70mph B.S.?

[glassdoctor]

Well... just wanted to post a note about my quick stab at a speed run this afternoon. We had weather just warm enough to melt the snow and dry out the streets a bit... and I had some time while waiting for the Superbowl to get going, so I grabbed my car and went to my speed run spot. It's been a long time since I did that.

I ran the Fusion, with the same Castle MMM/2650 combo that they used in the magazine article... and a set of Maxamps 6000mah packs. My packs are not the new ones.... it's the old ones they were clearing out to make space. RC Driver had the new stuff. Two 2s packs in series, just to be clear.

Largest pinion gear I had on me was a 18t so I ran that... 18/44

First pass, the car hit 65.1mph... not bad. I went farther away on the second pass, to make sure the car topped out 100%... and had some radio issues. I did mess around for a couple more passes... 64.4 and then 65.0 etc... pretty consistent.

I figure another tooth or two taller would get 70. I used to have a 20t gear... so hopefully I can find it and give it a shot.
