Last of the three-run series planned for the 17.5/2s power unit in the R1E chassis. Best speed I could accomplish was 35.67mph. Not much of an improvement over the last run session. Think she's peaked with current set-up. Which is o.k.
That and I was pitting out of the back of the Kia...
You know, Wolf, thinking you were right the first time in recognizing the PB. Resetting my PB to track along with Rusty's new numbers. Like starting all over again.
Looking to one more session prior to the holiday to set the speed baseline. Intent was to retire Rusty to the glory shelf after...
Thanks, Greywolf. It's Rusty's PB. Mine is 82mph. From back in the day with the R4E Top Fuel Electric. Take a while to work up to that with this combo. . .
I'll keep pecking away it thought. Cheers. 'AC'
Made it out to the geometris site today for a set of runs. Sharon went along as a spotter.
R1E laid down an official personal best speed of 33mph. That after a gearing change up to 24/78//3.25 and swapping in a fresh 2s x 4600 HV Shorty. Fastest that little bracket racer has ever gone...
Hey pug. Thanks.
Power unit is a 2s x 4600 60C LiPo Shorty pushing 8.4v power through a XR10 Pro ESC to V10 17.5 sensored brushless motor.
Radio system is an Airtronics/Sanwa MX-V linking to a ProTec 100T steering servo.
Located a suitable site close to home. Industrial area. Low to no traffic on weekends. No residential homes, dogs or kids to concern over. Good surface-not too smooth; not too rough. Straight and level. Bit of a crown takes only a touch of ST trim to get a straight run.
