Speed run XXCR ... now 74mph!!! :)

[glassdoctor]

Ok... I uploaded a video to youtube... waiting on it to come live....

Last night I took an old Losi XXcr buggy and strapped in a MM4600 system and my 5000mah 4s pack. :027:

First test was in the driveway... got it crawling then gave it a quick full throttle to see what it would do.... the tires just about exploded, with a nice fluttering propeller sound :005:

Ran it a couple times up the street in front of my house this morning.

First pass... got 45mph and flipped going from about half throttle to full...

Second pass... hit 52mph with the same results... wheelie then came down then wheelie then crash.

So I grabbed my camcorder and went to an empty open street. It's very windy today...like 20mph and gusts over 40 I think. The place I ran it was mostly a tail wind but partly a cross wind which pushed the car around a lot.

I only got one full throttle pass... short crappy video clip will be up soon.

68mph

But I have to say I need to get out and do it again to see if this is right... and do it without the wind. I admit I drove there with the GPS on, and I forgot to check/reset the GPS... but I'm sure I wasn't doing 68mph in the car (45mph zone) but I did pass a guy so maybe I got close to 60's.... :005:
