High Speed Rustler 2.0 (project)

[Greywolf74]

Ok been bustin my butt for the last 3 days modding the crap out of my new and improved High Speed Rustler 2.0.....GRPs in the back and Jaco Foams in the front

36T spur and 34T XO-1 Pinion....

6S Lipo, MMM, and E-Sky Gyro

Wide Front mod and lowered

Lowered to sit 10mm off the ground

Castle 2200KV

Still got a bunch of work to do but its finally starting to come together. I have 45mm wide Ipanema Racing slicks coming for it but I dont have em yet

That thing should handle like its on rails.

 

[Greywolf74]

I'm hoping so. Its gonna need to for 100+MPH

check this site out and put your info in the boxes, it will give you a theroetical top speed. and you might wanna rethink some things you have already done... lol. according to what you have shown on the truck so far, it has a possible top speed of 175 mph already. but the bad part is, The motor kv (2200) and voltage (22.2) you selected exceeds the general recommended maximum brushless motor speed of 40,000 rpm. Motor overheating may result. and Above approximately 45mph, wind resistance and drivetrain drag plays a large role in the reduction of the theoretical top speed.

i used that site to see what it would do. the only thing i guessed on was the tire diameter, i used proline road hawgs as an example with everything else pulled from your post. it showed a possible top speed of 176.11 mph (282.89 km/h)
i hope this site helps you, i know it did me when i built a rocket rustler. mine was clocked by kentucky state policeman doing a little over 85 mph in a parking lot. good luck!!

These tires are almost 4 inches in diameter.....way more rollout than speed hawgs. Motor getting hot is to be expected which is why I not only have a fan on it but willlet it cool every few runs or as needed. got my trusty temp gun.

theoretical max is 219.9 mph

In reality I'm hoping to break 100+

Thats just plain crazy!! We gotta see some vid when you go on that maiden run!!

 

[Greywolf74]

Yeah, I'm hoping to do it in the next couple of days...I definatly plan on getting some video.....If I dont wreck and total it the first run out lol.

We had a guy that built a car off of a .61 airplane engine and it went "Like 250 mph" Oh wait no he didn't....maybe it was from the solar panels....no wait he didn't do that either... hmmm. Oh well I will just have to wait and see what you come up with. Looks pretty nice so far though. Wind drag and friction will be the biggest factor I think.

We want to see the video even if it does bite the big one . Goodluck and don't forget to do a serious final check before you go, any crash or failure would suck but to have one happen due to something small and stupid is always worse.

 

[Greywolf74]

Yeah...Ill either come back with a video of triumph or a walk of shame....we'll see which one lol

 

[klown]

my prediction.... something is gonna burn... or fly apart. but either way, get it on video. I'm excited for you. and cool lookin rig so far.

dont forget it might be as hard or harder to stop safely than go fast safely.

 

[HPIguy]

Very cool, can't wait to see some vids!

 

[REVO-5309]

Lol make sure u have downforce on the front and back or it will litterally fly

 

[Greywolf74]

Wont be any vids soon...when I was trying to tune it in one of my GRPs blew out.....wasn't even got but about 50....Waiting on my Ipanemas to come in. theyre supposed to be able to handle it.
