. I haven't seen 60mph yet, so my set up is not as good as yours. Great job on setting that new record. Get a radar gun and get some reading with that too in front of the camera. I think most people would honor a record with a radar gun.

We did the radar gun already. I have a bushnell, and its right on with my GPS. But at these speeds its getting very dangerous. Last week I ran the truck and lost it and almost hit me and my buddy. We have to get close to the truck to get accurate readings and its just getting risky. Losing a limb is not worth it....

Ok cool. I might get a little tripod and mount mine to it. I've seen some guys do that and all they do is use rubber band to hold the trigger.

Can't say my setups are better than yours, I haven't even seen 10MPH yet either.... no GPS, no Radar gun... Gotta get me a GPS... a buddy of mine have a radar guns.. I'm still working on some high speed stuff, but I'll be using Monster trucks tires...

That's awesome man... and those runs were with the 12S100A ESC right?..

Yeah Turnigy ESC.

I tried the Monster truck wheels and tires....problem is ballooning. Can't keep the suckers from turning into pizza's even with taping and gorilla glue to hold them on the rims. I had no choice....

12S and 20T pinion are now ready. This weekend we should have a new Monster truck record again. I hope to destroy my 76.0mph pass....I'm crossing my fingers for 80+.

I can assure you that there will be a lot of guys waiting to read your next post and see the next round of videos to catch you breaking a new record

. From the sounds of things you have a sure competitor for next years fastest R/C contest

. I think you picked a great truck to do this with

. I still think you should try running a spoiler on the front end to help with keeping the truck on the ground for better control

. Good luck with your testing and not hurting yourself or anyone else.

I hope not to get anyone hurt or killed...lol. Went back out yesterday with my buddies Stampede to break the record which is 71mph held by one of the guys on the traxxas board from Atlanta. We got 73.2mph with an 8XL and BK9920 on 5S. I have some pics I'll post today.......ugly accident on the last pass of the day which was the record setting pass.
