im thinking with the weight savings and the torque.....65mph should be realistic.

Which setup you talking about squee? My current setup or the duall 1940?

[lipomax]

you need over 2000 watts to go over 60 mph. Make sure your lipos can give out that kind of power w/o ballooning.

Yeah, HINT! hpi Nubz have got threads, that prevent them from balooning..

i think he was talking about the lipos balooning not the tires :027:

[squeeforever]

johnny, i was talking about the 7xls. 2 7xls on 5s lipo each 60mph range should be very do able maybe more becuase you can gear higher.

LOL, yeah i guess he was Boss!

What does a hpi nubz look like? I can use a none ballooning tire myself. hard to drive at 90 mph on pizza cutters. ;)

i will need some non-balloning tires this summer but i dont think i will be going 90mph though that would be to fast for me i would be worrying about hittng a tree or running into a car

A little off-topic but; Balooning tires are actually a plus! It's like having a constantly varying transmission since the final drive ratio goes up as the tires balloon! :D

just like dragsters the tires balloon and make them go faster :026: :026:

[coolhandcountry]

But a dragster don't have to turn either. The tire ballooning is little excisive some times to. I have done the duct tape but hey it can't hold but so much pressure before the adhesive lets go.

It would have up in the 3000 + watts range with the 5s and 7xl combos johnny.

that true and it is also a good thing they dont have to turn at high speeds otherwise the drivers would be the passengers on one wild ride :020: :020: :020: :007: :mad:1
