Building A Drag / Street Ve8 Buggy Need Advice !

[DwightSchrute]

i thought doing 100mph in a 4wd buggy was pretty easy. i did it with a 43T spur and a 26-28t pinion with grp tires and a slightly modded rc8 wing. i did it in a losi 8ight with an rc-monster motor mount. that was the only mount i ever found that could handle up to a 30t pinion. this summer, i'm gonna do a run with the 30T i got. i need to see that one go. :)

batteries....

i can do it on hyperion packs all day long. their packs are really powerful, but it took alot of tries on HK packs, and i puffed several trying to get there.

power combo...

i used a 2650 with a mmm esc.


body...i used a slightly modded hard-drive nitro body.


X-treme rc magazine got a vorza to 100 pretty easily by changing the diff gear and gearing the piss out of it.

i thought driving the buggy at 100 was pie. it was very very easy imo. once you get the suspension right (my springs were very soft) it's just correct alignment and a gentle ease up to speed with your buggy sitting very low. i never did any splitter wings or anything...imo it was not necessary.

i always did my speed runs in the summer time because imo, you get a ton more traction with a hot street.

good luck, you ought to be able to get there .
