High speed playing

Hey guys,

Some of you may have noticed that I've been away for a while. I've had a lot of stuff to sort out with the new work arrangements, but I have been tinkering around with my cars a bit. I tried to find my other thread on my high speed projects, but couldn't find it.

I just thought I'd post here and maybe it'll spur some amusing conversation.

When last I posted on the subject, my buddy and I were working on a Kyosho Inferno on road car and we wanted to see how fast we could get it to go. We removed the center diff and mounted the motor in line with the rear diff and ran it two wheel drive. We used a Neu 1512/1.5y running on a maxamps 5S 5Ah pack. The fastest recorded speed that we got out of that was 93 mph running the GRP Rally tires. Those tires are great for going fast. Well, all of that was fun for all of the two minutes it took to get the car to do the 93 mph, but then got boring quickly, since the car was just about good for nothing else.

Now we are putting our sights on parking lot drag racing. Last weekend, I went out and ran my Sportwerks Turmoil with a lowly Mamba Max controller on 4S powering a Feigao 8L geared 44/18 and spanked everybody. We're going to try something new for next weekend. We have an Xray XT8 and Neu 1515/1.5d coming in tomorrow. We're going to throw that together with a Compro and a Neu 5S 4.1Ah 30C lipo pack and see what it does.

Does anyone have any experience with the 1515/1.5d?
