My Slow Project

[PerformanceRC]

The car will be used for a couple of top speed runs, and then will be retired to drag racing for the people who still think their nitro is faster.

Yeah, I have a small photography business. I just used a large sheet of paper, I don't have a permanent studio yet. The picture of the video camera wasnt very good actually. Was over exposed and soft focus resulted. The pics of the car are much better.

Yeah, the pics of the RC are AWESOME!!

And you're right, the one of the camera is horrible. A disgrace, could hardly tell what it is.:p kiddin

Hey, you could loose a bit of weight by installing an UBEC. (one less thing to charge, too)

Don't know if I already told you, but thanks for sharing. (I'll think twice before I post a pic ever again;) )

[PerformanceRC]

Thanks,

I was considering a UBEC, but the RX Pack is only 650 mah batteries, it hardly weighs anything, and it helps to balance the chassis. So I think it will stay.

who needs balance at 90mph...+ ?

[Nick]

Although the faster you go, the more important balance is? Physics multiply?

(No scientific mumbo-jumbo like the helium wheels post please. :D)

[PerformanceRC]

90+, Feeling conservative today?;)

As for the balance, I'm not sure. Makes me feel better though. :)

There was a TC3 made by Hardcore Racing or somebody like that a while ago....reason I bring it up is because they had it soooo dialed that you could balance it on two golf tees, one at the front, one at the rear, and it'd just sit there. Oh yeah, it was a nitro one too if I remember right. :D

[PerformanceRC]

Bleh...Hardcore...Bleh TC3...Bleh Nitro...:p

We getting you there crazy. Should have suggested a 2240.

I'm already there. I would've suggested that but was concerned about belt and pulley clearance, otherwise i would've suggested a 3080

[nitrostarter]

Are we trying to break records here? either that or a leg if it got out of control.

Hey PerformanceRC, any news on this to share?
I'm curious where this went!

My Second 10L was broken by this project, that was the main reason for it not running.

A big problem is I REALLy need to find some foam tires for this project. The person I had working on it really let me down.

I have a sceduled run on November 5th.

I need to order another 10L from Mike but I don't have the money, I had to buy a new radio.

How do you even run a car like that? It goes so fast that you either need the Spektrum's 1300 foot range and take it as far as you can see it, or chase it with a real car and try to outrun it without getting smashed in the process. I would love to try and do the chase car method the next time I have to do speed runs, but I don't have a long enough street to do that on, and am more afraid of running over the little car in the process.

You mean like my JR R1 Pro with Spektrum?

My second 10L was broken by this project.

I like to know how you broke a 10l twice.
