I know what you're gonna say...

But I'm posting it anyway... With the motivation from Revo Rob and having a nice day along with street tires on the Flux, i decided to do a speed run. Using my phone which is a Garmin Nuviphone (the one with the full gps built in) I managed a 55 and 54 mph run but ran out of room with 1/4 or more throttle left.

Believe it or not i managed the 55 with the front wheels off the ground. I knew i was running out of room so i was trying to squeeze in all i could before i had to shut it down. The tires still balloon and the truck walks all over the place.

So what i need, a much longer area to make the pass in so I dont have to try to pick up speed quick because it still wants to pick the front end up. Someone to video it for me, which will hopefully be tomorrow. And a place with a lot less curbs since i hit one hard enough today to throw the ESC out of whack and i had to reprogram it

Ouch! Sounded like a good hit! It would be cool to hit the drag strip with that beast.

yeah it sucked. my bro saw it, i broke the a arm but not bad enough to not run it...first arm i broke between two trucks..

I found a bigger parking lot and tried again but the batts were only at 11.5 volts and a full charge is 12.6...I only charge to 12.3 when i charge them tho. Best I could do was 55 again but still didnt have enough room to hold full throttle for long enough to get a good reading. my phone does pretty good as a gps but the longer you run a speed the better it reads. For all i know the truck is going faster than 55 but I'm telling you what i read off of it. My phone has some good asphalt marks from the truck being upside down though...lol
