Wow, I'm wondering what kind of jumping you'll be able to pull off going 88-100mph. Hey quick question I went for the full FLM savage kit, and you once mentioned I need more power for the weight....how much more power do you think I should acquire?, so far I've mounted a stock picco/boost .28 to it, but I haven't run it yet...no fuel!

The picco boost will have plenty of power to toss that bad boy around!

I'm just wondering now if you can get a ticket for exceeding speed laws with an R/C car?

Holy moly that thing is fast!

 

[DreamMachine]

This here is my interpretation of a full out speed savage. This truck is completely built for one thing in mind and that is insane speeds that no savage has reached before.

The Sinister Centurion

You know, I think you've got something there.
You just cut out a HUGE amount of turbulence and drag. You do it!!!

 

[DreamMachine]

the truck could have passed 100 last time if it had the gearing this one does. But I can't do that now cause that truck was totaled lol. I'm shooting for 110-120mph with this rig. Need to max out the 2200's before going to 1717's. one day 2028's

I think you better stand farther back this time.

 

[HPIguy]

That's really not even a savage anymore, more like a sheet metal F1 inspired missile.

 

[DreamMachine]

It does no longer look like a savage but it's built from one and that's all that matters lol

I need to find a new road to run this time as the speeds are going to be much greater. It also still scares the crap out of me every time it drives by lol after the first crash. I just imagine it driving towards me.

 

[Rolex]

Since you're traveling in a straight line at such a high speed you should set your exponential on the steering almost to the max.
It also looks like you've got your front wheels toed out. You DEFINITELY don't want that.

 

[DreamMachine]

I havent set the alignment up yet, but ill probably have a degree or two of toe in up front. I also bought a gyro to try. The front knuckles are off the hellfire and boast a 15deg castor angle which is 5deg more than the hpi suspension kit. As for the expo, I've been driving these truck the whole time with none lol.

 

[Rolex]

Seriously? The slightest twitch too much will send it out of control at that speed.

 

[HPIguy]

Wait a sec, you're shooting for 100mph, and haven't even checked that the alignment, toe, etc? You're a brave man. (couldn't help myself)

 

[DreamMachine]

Haha when I hit 95 I had set the front end up on my alignment kit. However since the last crash I have not since I have not run yet. As for the expo, I've tried using it before and didn't like it. I'll try it again since I'm at higher speeds but if I don't like it then it's a drive by feel thing which is how it's pretty much been for a year and a half.

I gotta say I love that meme dude

 

[wacmartin]

Hey I just saw your truck on my Facebook, hpi is posting about it.

 

[DreamMachine]

this is why I'm super stoked to cross 100 with it

 

[Rolex]

We're counting on you.
You are SERIOUSLY in need of some sponsor decals on that thing since it will be getting so much exposure.
Get your RCNT logos from WoodiE and represent!

 

[DreamMachine]

Before I put decals on it, I'm thinking about painting the side plates black and leaving the top unchanged, as to help me see it lol

 

[HPIguy]

I'd paint it day glo orange or something highly visible. Congrats on all the exposure the rig is getting, and yes, RCNT stickers!!

 

[DreamMachine]

Almost ready
