Called and the SHV 110 and 160 are available already but through an exculsive dealer that does Jets. So I guess I need to find out who that is. They have the rights through end of June. They will handle 20S and you have to sign a death waiver......guess the volts and amps are getting serious..lol

And I was thinking it was a joke when I saw this site a while back: http://www.bvmjets.com/Pages/electric.html. Sometimes a retailer will do it to get orders.

JZ you're doing your runs at an airfield correct? If so, couldn't you slowly spin up to speed to compensate for the high current draw at start or would that not make a difference? Also if you used Fm crystal type tx/rx would it be possible to use 2 tx's (one tx at 1/3 point the other at 2/3 point) with 1 rx for extended range?

Yeah we are at an old airport. I could do the slow spoolup, but problem is my radio range sucks, and won't reach long enough to get the truck going slowly. I need more range.....big time.

jzemaxx · 04.24.2008, 12:52 PM

Maybe that is the company that has them.....guess I will call.

If you have any more info.. hook it up... I'm in need to run 20S, just for the heck of it.

Castle should make an onboard data recorder for the SHV or Eagle Tree and BNB Products will have to come up with something.

Do you use spektrum? You could go for a high gain attenna on rx/tx to gain more range

Yeah I have a spektrum DX2.0, but I'm selling it. I need one that will handle more model memory.

I'm going to sell my DX3 (Radio only) as I'm using my JR R-1 w/ the Spektrum module. Did you talk to BVM about the SHV?

Just an update, but NO response yet from BVM on the SHV controllers that are now available. So Lutach if he answers you let me know....I have money in hand for a new contoller.

I spoke with Heather and she said Chuck was busy. I will call them tomorrow as well. If I get an answer I'll let you know. Heather told me they have some units available.

Hmm well let me know. Get the amp ratings for them if you can. CC told me if I ordered an SHV110 that I can have it custom made to be a 160 or 180 I believe. A SHV180 would be the bomb for sure....

That sounds good. I'll see what they'll say. If they won't sell any of them. I'll just get them from CC.

Ive been away awhile and was looking around for info on the Mamba MMM esc and saw your post.

I have some advice for you I was going to do this about a year ago with the XLB but decided the cost of electronics was to high at the time and my RC18B was fast enough for me at 93mph on 4s curently working on a 5s setup along with a 3s scalpel for speed cars.

Aero wise the buggy body is the best way to go it's a lot like an indy car with the buggy rear wing and adding a front wing it will allow you to control how much down force the car has and keep it on the ground at high speeds with the smallest frontal profile on the RC18 I tried a few full bodies and found they were all slower then the buggy body?

Tires? I would highly recomened Jaco foams for the Tmaxx they are the largest foam tire and wheel avalable for MT's and should work great on the XLB dont waste your time with glued beads they fail around 60mph beadlock wheels are much better at holding the bead on at high speeds.

Shocks? I found instead of using spacers under the pistons to lower the car using springs instead softens the top out of the shock and improves handling and stability at high speeds.

Chassis flex? The XLB needs a lot of help in this area pick it up and twist the front and rear of the car in oposit direction's for high speed stabilty you need to eliminate this flex.

Motor and ESC?
Duel 15 series Neu's with MMM ESC'c on 6s should be enough torque to get you to a 100mph plus?

Radio? check out the Worlds fastest RC thread for extending the range on your radio system.

Good luck I think a 100mph is very doable with the XLB. :)

Shooting for 100mph on it.....

The setup will consist of:

2 X Turnigy HV's
2 X 1527's
4 X 6S lipo's

I will keep this post up to date as I start to try to fit all this crap under the buggy body....lol

Still haven't figured out how to mount both 1527's on the single spur...but I will come up with something.....I think
