slash 4x4 on steroids

[atraumanurse]

My inquisitive nature got the best of me. I put a 13/54 pinion/spur on my slash 4x4 to see what it could do. Answer- oh my gosh is it fast. my wife could not move the video camera fast enough to keep up with it. Any one have any ideals on how to capture it on film just how fast it will go. Even on a straight road it gets so far out of sight that you can't see where to steer it.
i was thinking of someone driving the car, someone steering and someone in a car of ahead of us to film. Any other suggestions

Have the wife zoom out when trying to catch the truck as it goes by. In a similar fashion that Nascar and Indy does their videoing - if they can catch 200mph cars you can surely get yours on film.

How fast did everything heat up?

It took the gearing very well, motor was warm but not hot, battery was very
warm
