Well guys took the truck out today with the Turnigy HV controller this time instead of the HV110. One thing I was concerned about is the truck appears to have dropped 2-4mph from the HV110, BUT the HV110 was never ran in the heat. My high speed runs were done with it in temps below 55 deg. Today the runs were done in 77-80deg weather. Any reason why this would happen, is the HV110 more efficient from input to output??? Anyhow, on 8s...
8S with 17/70 gearing and HPI Phatlines - 70.2mph, backed it up with a 69.9mph run and 69.2mph.
10S with same gearing on same tires - 76.0mph, backed by 75.9 and 74.8mph as well as a host of other runs.
I tried the truck with no body on it and it ran 76.0mph as well, but handling sucked since I have no down force.
Truck weighs 17lbs with this setup.......maybe worlds fastest MT for right now??
Video will be downloaded tomm and on youtube...I will link it here. BTW, the truck is only running the 1521....hehe
