70MPH ZX5 and a rather big jump

[bdebde]

I could get my RS4 up to 100mph with that! lol

Geez, when I first saw that second picture, I thought it was a helicopter.

:D Somehow I feel like there is something wrong with shooting your poor buggy that high into the air. But the fact that you just blatantly have no care about busting up you buggy is great. Wish I had the guts to fling a lipo that high into the air. :p

I like the little 2 speed thing though. Simple and effective. Isn't that similar to the gearboxes they use in electric airplanes? I wonder if a heavy duty one could be made for 5mm shafts, with 2 or 3 outrunner gears for extra strength. Theres room inside that housing to fit them.;)

I wouldn't do one with a high speed vehicle, no brakes

[bdebde]

...no brakes; that would SUCK

[BP-Revo]

Damn...I don't think 5 of my biggest jumps can equal that.

yea the 2 speed does disable the brakes and reverse but on that day i was running in with the motor jamed onto the spur gear really hard because the spur was stripped so there was enogh drag to act as an effective brake.

Thanks for the comments all.

Oh lord, 70 mph with a draggin' gearmesh?? That's sick! :eek: Keep going! :)
