Brushless Vendetta 100KMH :: 62MPH

[SpEEdyBL]

It may be possible to run it at that speed but only if the space you run it is absolutely smooth and flat.

I run the same exact motor with a Quark 33 on 3s lipo in my Vendetta ST. The drivetrain holds up fine, but that was after I did a bit of shimming (I shimmed the internal differential gears that are pressed on to the outdrives). The outdrive gears have very shallow teeth, so it's easy to strip them if you accidentally spin out a few times. I simply placed very thin (.1mm) shims on the outdrives, then pressed the gears on to get the mesh ever so slightly tighter.

Drivetrain handles it just fine. I'm geared with a 15 tooth pinion and the stock spur; the car is probably only doing a modest 35-40mph, but it's a squirrely little bugger. I can't even imagine it at 60+!

Ok, so I wouldn't get the 62MPH with a 4S, and the Sidewinder can only handle 3S, so I have to change the gearing or buy another motor.
Which NEU motor would be good for 2S/3S, and I would get the 62MPH?

Thanks!

I never said you wouldn't get 62 on 4s. I'm geared conservatively so that my motor will run all day without breaking a sweat (doesn't crack 140F on a hot summer day and no cooling holes in the body).

It's a bad idea to get a mini going that fast unless you have a good, high downforce body and a few wings placed in proper areas...

Pretty extensive bl motor testing on the Vendetta ST - includes the Neu you are looking for -
