I haven't seen a lot of people speed running XO1s, but there are a few YT videos with some big numbers and others with big crashes. They sent me a teaser email and it looks pretty good. I noticed they have an option to mount the servo on the center brace, but it's kind of a goofy mount. They...

It's going well, but I'm taking a bit of a break at the moment. Some health issues have limited my time and energy for extra hobbies. Been playing with the crawler a bit more because it's less time involved. The Limitless is solid and I'm hitting the limits of my road and ability. I need to...

It's definitely exciting knowing that you can throw you wallet out the window in about 1/2 a second. I was at my spot a few weeks back and there was another random speed runner there with his daughter and watched him crash at 100 something MPH into the curb, then fly into the bushes. The...

On 2S it should be fine on 48p. I put in a big motor and run 4S and the 48P didn't last long once I was getting some of the power to the ground. Then it was time for the Mod 1 gear change. It's a complete custom setup at that point but it runs much smoother and I'm not worried about munching the...

I've made some progress. I went with the Arrama Limitless. It seems to be gold standard, not that it's better, but the most popular. I did a build log on Arrma forums there are a lot of cross over people between this forum and that one. They are both run by the same people too. If you want to...

@Edough13 Two things. I remember something about installing a chunk of nitro tubing in the drive shafts as a bumper. But I don't recall if it's the center drive shafts or the axles? The center drive shafts are pretty sloppy and I can see why they would be an issue. - Suggestions? I think...

Yeah, spicy is one word for it. Or it could be I don't want the feds knocking on my door. . . again. ;) -- Just in case the feds are reading this (like I need ask), it was a JOKE. Edough set me up with a center mount that should allow me to install everything without cutting and rearranging too...

I've been in there many times and purchased a few RCs and upgrades. They don't have everything, but I try to keep them in business when I can. They also have better point system (value) than Amain too. I'm figuring out my LiPos with Edough on a PM. Nothing secret, just did not bore everyone to...

Quick update: I went to Norcal Hobbies (Support your local hobby store!) this afternoon. Picked up the Limitless, XLX2 ESC, servo and some QS8 connectors. I'm waiting on the 1717 and the CastleLink stuff to come in. It's getting put together soon.

For the radio. I have a FlySky GT5 and it's good, very good for a crawler, but the range tested only a little better than the Traxxas. The Futaba had good range and is super nice but $700 is a little steep. Does anyone know if they 4PM gets similar range? I've seen it boosted to 1,800 feet...

Slightly off topic. My other thread trying to see if we can finance it. If we had access to a dragstrip in Norcal, would anybody be interested? https://www.rctalk.com/forum/threads/norcal-go-fast-fun-event.133459/ Click like on that thread if you are. So far - Zero, Ziltch, nada interest. I'm...

For the radio, I'm thinking Futaba, Radio Link or the Dumbo all good choices. On YT UKTU did a bunch of tests and the look pretty objective. They all looked pretty good, but there was one mishap with the Dumbo RC when it lost range. I'm not sure if this is common or if it's one time thing, may...

Lassen, that explains the smoke. Although we got hit so bad a few years back I couldn't see down the block. I've got a buddy that retired up there, supposed to be beautiful and not a lot of people to get in your way. :) Wow, thanks for the details, it's very helpful. Geez that's a lot of...

That's awesome and it sounds kinda like a jet too! Not to be nosy, butow far north are you, i.e. what area? Looks like a bit Gardnerville NV. I'm reading your build thread as well. It sounds like you swapped motors at least once. My build hasn't started yet and it's still on paper. There are...

For a location what about Hammond Way in Milipitas? I'm not sure what it actually looks likes in person, but it looks OK on Google Maps with about 1/4" mile of straight pavement and not entry/exits...

Looking at the Vendetta wheelbase it looks like it's the same chassis as the Infraction V3? @Edough13. Thanks this is very helpful!

Great info and thank you all that replied! That's what I was looking for, I didn't realize the V3 is a smaller platform. I also wondered about the flying/exploding XO-1. It probably good in stock form but go-fast mods are more difficult. I know it's not cheap and I'm hoping for $1500 but more...

I'm toying with the idea of building a high-speed car and have a few questions. First is what platform are people using? Arrma Rebodied Limitless. Infraction V2 some are rebodied. However, it seems expensive because I would probably throw out the electronics. Infraction V3 which comes with...
