How are your temps after a few passes?

Some of these triple digit buggies should try making it to the ISC events this year. Run them in open wheel class and blow away the 81.75mph record...

i believe RC car just did a losi speed project in the latest issue using the castle conversion. i think they were geared 45/23.

(*they were also using maxamps packs, a 2650 and an mmm)

they only got to 82mph because of downforce issues. the driver said he could have gotten to 90mph with little effort, but he didn't wanna catch air at over 80mph and crash so he backed off.

it was a cool article though.

Hmm, sounds like an excuse for pack limitation...

Did you end up uploading any videos?

I want to try something like this with my 8ight. I'll start off with some smaller pinions though ;) Thanks for sharing guys.
