High speed G-maxx for ISC event, 100mph or bust

[Rivermaxx]

What I meant to say I was thinking making a front bumper kinda like a combo bumper splitter shaped like a wing to help direct airflow up and over and around the outside of the tires. Kinda like this but shaped better.

Hard to believe this is the record holder. but it is 72.9 mph talk about Isnt that a 10th scale esc and motor? but it is from 2007.

[_paralyzed_]

Funny that the record holder is ineligible under current rules, but good for the sport that the rules are now there.

I just have this nagging feeling that your setup sans splitter and wing(even less weight) with a swiss cheese body would outperform a normal body with the splitter and wing. I think a monster truck needs a wing about as much as a rice rocket with coffee can exhaust


This thread is going well, but just to clarify I'm not arguing or trying to change your mind, just brainstorming in text. I want to see you break 100 and be able to tell my friends I talk with the owner of the worlds fastest monster truck online! Simple joys for me nowadays!

He was discredited later for running foams and essentially a touring car body. The next guy behind him was a 3906 emaxx that went 70.1mph. He was on this board for a while. Twin 6XL's I believe on 5S. His name is JohnnyMax

Also the rules I went by are from the WFRCCC

Rules from the last time they held the event.....

So, for the 2008 Challenge, any vehicle looking for a shot at the fastest MT title will have to meet the following citeria:

Tire size: Tires must have a minimum 130mm diameter and 70mm width. Foam tires are NOT allowed. There is no rule regarding sidewall height.

Body type: Any body type that can be identified as a truck (stadium, pickup or SUV) is permitted. The wheels must be OUTSIDE the body, not tucked into fender wells or skirted.


Total car length less than 40 inches, wheel-power only (no rockets or jets), and the car must have some sort of body with a "cockpit" area so it looks like it could have a driver. That's it!
