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

[lincpimp]

Nice looking truck.

Just a tip here, get your radar guy to stand where the truck will max out and just point the radar gun at where it will start. Closer to the ground is better. I can see him moving the gun as the truck goes by, this will produce false readings.

When I was testing my 10th scale tc for speed, I was doing the same thing, and got readings all over the place. Put the radar girl (my wife!) at the very end of the run and told her to just point the gun at the starting line. Worked like a charm, as long as I shut down at the same point readings were about 1 mph off, so very repeatable. I use the same gun you have, BTW.

I also found that moving her around would allow me to squeeze a few mph out of the car. Best run was 68mph, but I had her move about 300ft father away (more for saftey purposes) and gave the car about 50 more feet of full throttle run, gained 6mph in just 50 feet!!!!. If I had more room the car should have done 80mph easy. Don't laugh, it is a bone stock tamiya tt-01 tc with a feigao 380c 6s motor, MM, and at the time I was running maxamps 4000 20c (my ass) 3s lipos (had about 350 bucks in the whole deal). I need to rebuild her and try it out with a good lipo and more room.

In my opinion it looks just fine all black with very little decaling. Besides at 80 mph no one will really see it anyway. Just your name and maybe the ECM and SuperMaxx stickers will look strong enough. I hope that you are able to reach your 80mph goal/dream. If not the practice will do you good and you can work on improving your design and making better speeds next year. I doubt that this event is going anywhere soon. From the attendance I believe it will be around for quite a while. It is very cool just to see the improvements that have been accomplished in electric R/C over the last few years, and even more so for the things I am sure that we wil see in the near future. Great Work RiverMaxx, and good luck at the event. Keep it up.
