I think you need to have your radar gun calibrated. an XO-1 stock is lucky to hit 100MPH on 6S let alone 3S. On top of that you need a minimum of a 1/4 mile to do 100MPH speed runs. I know from experience that finding a parking lot with 1/4 mile of unobstructed space is almost impossible to do. Especially one that is smooth enough, empty enough, and clear of debris enough to make those kinds of runs.
As for the Blur...most of the stuff I could find on the internet including the manufacturers website says the top speed on the 1/16 blur is about 45-50MPH. Even if it will reach 55MPH thats still 10MPH off what your claiming. These two things combined is what leads me to believe your radar may need to be calibrated.
to add to that the most accurate reading will most likely be from a gps speedometer that i have seen most guys use to show there tops speed
and personally i don't believe anything anyone posts about tops speed unless someone shows proof ie video showing it make the run and showing the recorded speed but thats me
any one can type keys and clam something, i'm not interested in pissing contest only facts and evidence to backup whats claimed.
also some brands especially the low end brands to avoid inflate their claims of top speed ect
things to take into account when building for speed,
Wheel size - to small fast acceleration low top speed, reverse true for wheel that are too big
engine size - needs high RPMs for speed but also enough torque for the high gearing required for a fast car
gearing - geared to low again fast acceleration low top end, reverse true for to tall gearing
aerodynamics, weight,
with a 1/16 the wheels are going to be too small engine size .07 won't have that much in RPM or torque
looking at youtube videos its not very fast at all no where near there claimed top speed its more of a low end beginner car
in all honest nobody cares if you have a car that only does say 20MPH and want something to go faster this forum is full of people that want to help so you don't need to inflate top speeds etc and most of us have had experience with all size rc cars so know the average top speed of most of them
i have a 1/10 tamiya TGS somewhere in my bedroom that I'm working on in theory it has a top speed of 20-25MPH in reality it probably dose close to 12-15 but its still a fun car to drive and drift i just converted it to FWD from RWD and before that 4WD
its all about having fun and helping eachother out
i dont mean to ramble on it just happens
