Here is a sample vid of my car and after comparing, both cars do not look that far off from each other. I don't see the 30mph difference?? I could be wrong.......

What do you guys think??

Well, apperently the 7700 do works on 4S. And honestly i think that pass looks abit like my 90-100mph passes. So i can see a difference. Now i know that the Venom speedo isn't 100% correct but, every run i've made with the car has been very consistant. I have done the same top speed around 120mph on 3 differnt days. And compared to what speed i started at 2 weeks ago i think it would be weird if i got more and more wheel spin so to speak beacsue the speed have been increasing every time due to changes i've made.So i think it's pretty close to the real speed. But i will get a radar gun, will order one today ;) Probably a Eagle Tree system too so we can see the RPM etc. too.
Any more info on your car btw? :)

That would be awesome, and by the looks of it.. it does look like it's going that fast or close to that speed anyways.... but it still amaze me that you are able to get to those speeds with that much power.... I love the take off though, it looked pretty sweet... did you break anything...

vassmar,

My car was built with the purpose of building a 100+ mph car with 100% off-the-shelf parts and no custom parts or modding whatsoever. Here are the basics:

- TC4
- Mamba Max 5700
- 4S FP 3200 30C
- HPI Zonda F Body
- Kyosho Red Box 37S Foam tires

Sounds basicly like my car then hehe. Do you find the Zonda body working well btw?

Btw, I made a few runs yesterday and the day before on 5S. And the motor havn't exploded yet :D I reached 135.3mph as max speed, made about 3-4 runs on the same speed. And i know, it isn't 100% correct so i will verify it as soon as i get my radar gun i've ordered. I will also try again in a few days with a taller gearing.


Video:
Top quality video.. not.. but you can almost see the car lol. But you can defently hear that it is going faster than before by the sound of the motor. And as always, I did about 3-4 runs with basicly the same speed. New vids are coming in daylight.

Yes, the Zonda is working pretty good so far. I am in more shock every time I read this as I could have done this, but "they" said it was technically impossible. At this point, I am only interested in seeing one of your runs on a data logger so I can see what rpm's you are pulling under load!!
