New hi-speed project

[TruckBasher]

Well you can order, its just that all of them are out of stock. Tower, RCBOYZ etc. good thing my project isn't completed so body is yet the list on my worries..

Anyway, hope to see your high speed runs soon.....

Hey Brian. I thought I would post some info of my first test runs with my converted Inferno GT so you can have an idea of possibilities.

- Feigao 7L
- MM ESC
- FP 4S 5000mah
- 21/44 gearing
- Ferrari body

We tested this setup on Wednesday night and it did quite well in my opinion. I am running 2 60mm fans, 1 for the motor and 1 for the ESC blowing right on them. No holes cut out in the body. The fans work GREAT!! They were from CompUSA for $5 each and are rated at 26CFM/12V. We maxed 71mph on the radar and easily got 10 minutes of bashing. I did not get to run it longer as I am using the RCM 2 speed adaptor and a Losi 2nd gear pinion but I did not think about putting on the 1st gear and I backed out the gear due to braking!! I think this car has the potential to push triple digits with as little as 6S!! The problem I see is getting the right body!!

They have the bodies here, but at one heck of a premium!!!!

That's nice to know, and on 4s with an L motor no less. I bet my conversion is a little heavier than yours, but I'm running a Neu 1515 2.5d on 10s lipo, so that should help.

I'm still waiting for lipos from Mike. Actually, I'm gonna get dual 5s packs so that I can use them individually in my e-Slayer conversion, and use them in series for this car. Just gotta make sure I run them both about the same number of times to keep things consistent.

How important is the two speed set up? I have a 1515 2.5d and a 6s 3700 pq pack in my inferno gt and have no yet driven it because its been raining every day for the last 2 weeks! I'm hoping it rocks with a single speed set up...I did that so I could gear it anyway I wanted to.

You should be fine. I run a gtp on 4s lipo and a kb45 8l with a single speed and it does fine. Current gearing is 20/51, good for 45+ mph...

Right on,Can I ask what tires your running? I have the stock kyosho inferno tires and I'm told that the ofna ones are twice as good...but which ones the slicks or those treaded ones? I just bought a set of proline road rage tires and theres no point in even tying to run them cause they are a larger diameter and will rub the body bad plus they are super soft which means they will balloon like crazy (I'll use em on the buggy).

I am currently using a set of wheels and tires that came on my HB Lightning Street. The are a harder, thicker rubber than the road rages, and may not even have foams. They do not balloon much if any, and offer decent grip. They work well on various surfaces, and seem to be wearing very well. I also have a set of road rage tires and will give them a try.

If you get a chance toss a picture of your car on here and lets give her a look.

Ok, the car was originally a mbx buggy. I swapped the center diff out for a solid center with the 51t plastic spur. I currently have revo shocks on the front, and need to put them on the rear too. Motor mount was whipped up in a few minutes and the battery tray was left over from the buggy. Using a MM with a fan and a cc bec. Temps are decent, the big kb can sure pull some amps, I can only imagine how the xl models are...

Cool There should be an on road section here for us road warriors!

Finally got around to binding my DX3r radio to the receiver in the UltraGTP and found a bug with the channel mixing. You cannot reverse the aux channel servo direction when slaved from either the throttle or steering. So, it looks like I'll have to keep using the DX3.0 for this project... or come up with a way to reverse the servo electronically or mechanically.

[TruckBasher]

I know you will have a mech. solution for it but maybe a temporary elec solution will work...

not sure how compatible they are with DX3r
EMS
FUTABA

or something like that...

If you are referring to the "nitro", that is a friend of mine with his Racer2 that does 107mph!! If you look under "Chamo's RS4" in the tube, there is 103 pass on there.
