62 MPH high speed pass

[revo_rob_1984]

i'm not done yet man, i have new pinions coming and a couple of new spurs to get some more speed. . .on setup i have in mind the theoretical top speed is 102.29MPH according to an rc vehicle speed calculator.


heres the calculator

That doesn't work on nitro models...

I don't see how it would matter if it's nitro or electric, but the one critical equation I don't see is drag.
That's tough to overcome...with anything, once it reaches a certain speed.

It askes about battery voltage and c rating or something like that

Revo rob . I have the same radio and can't work which way to have the expo for high speed runs . Is it plus or minus ?

Garmin Forerunner 101 = best!

U want some negative expo on ur steering....it slows the snappiness down....start with 10% and work from there

Garmin Forerunner 101 = best!

If I could find one for a decent price id get one and put it in my bash box but I can't seem to find one for a good price

I'd put a few bids in on that.

heres a link that works for nitro but you have to know all you gears
http://prettyboypullingteam.tripod.com/technical.html
it gives your speed in inch per second so you have to multiply by 60 then 60 divide by 12 then divide 5280 for mph i think someone check me on it:\

Thanks

Update

I got my new gearing today and hopefully tomorrow if its not raining or too wet out i am going to try and break 80MPH. . .with the gearing i have it should be more than possible, as long as i have a long enough stretch of road......the gearing i am gonna be trying out is a 28t pinion and a 50t spur gear

 

[Raiden101]

That will be impressive to see. Make sure you film it!

 

[revo_rob_1984]

Put in a supercharged .61 airplane engine and go for 250 mph!!

Looking forward to at least 75, you can do it.

I can't wait to see this rob! I've been working on my E-Revo over the whole winter now. Still needa just buy a motor and tires. Goodluck at breaking 80, thats tough!

Good luck to you. I'm looking forward to the video.
I have a GPS speedometer on the way because of you.
It's the Holux GPSport 260.

 

[Raiden101]

That looks like it'll what you need it to and a whole lot more
