The Ram is dieing for a electric conversion. Get way more power and instant tourqe to the wheels. Should be way better then this 49cc Reed engine..

 
nice good luck on this project looks fun definitely is ganna rip are you going with the same setup RCSparks whent with?
Lol RC Sparks is on a whole different level. He's got a $1000 esc in his speed Ram. And almost a $1000 motor. Then in his crawler Ram has the Castle XLX2 800kv motor. But his speed Ram is ridiculous. So that would be a NO sorry. Got the conversion from Primal rc. For now going to order the hobby wing max4 esc. In the coming weeks. To bring it up to 12s.

Well considering that the esc that the conversion comes with. Is only a 160a water cooled boat esc. That only takes 8s.

And the max4 is a 300a 12s esc. Yeah I would say it's plenty 😉🤣🤣
Got the engine out. Got to clean up up some of these wires. That aren't needed anymore. And throw in the monster 500kv water cooled motor. Amd then she should rip. A hell of alot better . Looks funny empty like that.

It's going to be killer for sure! :thumbs-up:
Hell yeah I can't wait. I just had to hear the sound of the Reed engine. Or I would have converted it when I got it..👍👍
Motors bigger them my coffee cup. And comes with a clutch on it. Witch is a first I've ever seen.

off topic kinda but kevin talbolt put 2 max 4s in his 100 mph off-road rc car

Kevin is another one on a whole other level. I believe hebhas them in his road speedster also.

He's one that truly bashes everything to the Max. And has his own 1.1 scale monster truck. Hell yeah👍👍 it's definitely is a strong esc.

maybe he will put 100 max4 combos in the real monster truck 😂

That would be awesome to see a electric 1.1 monster truck. That would be a hell of a motor can
 
That's going to be sick bud, looking forward to the progress.
 
the sausage went 97 iirc. the project arrma (the one that later did the long jump record) never got close to 100mph.
Sorry man his red speed car just hit 123mph two weeks ago. So I would say yeah he hit 100mph. He's going for over 200mph. Trying I believe. Some are really close to hitting 200mph. Witch to me is fu*king crazy. For a RC car....😲👍👍

I think we are talking about different cars. The video is his on-road speed car. The record is 203 or 204mph right now, I'd have to look it up. His friend Raz is up there. He has had a car for awhile the "project 100mph off road" which is what I was referring to. It's gotten nowhere close. I want to say 73 or 74 is the fastest he has it on video. He also has the super long wheelbase prototype "sausage" that's basically two arrma 8s on max4s, that one went 97 off road and is the one that smoked a max4. I mentioned those two because you said off road. it's an entirely different ballgame than tarmac. the world record for any off road rc right now is 103 (TLR 5ive-b, dirt, 12S). it is the only known GPS 100mph off road RC pass. all of these things people are doing is simply nuts. a 1/10 recently went 78mph off road. a guy went 75mph on grass. That's insane. Going fast on grass is like dragging an anchor.

Yeah, I think it was 97 mph that he hit, which is very impressive considering all the problems he had with the tires blowing off of it, and it being on grass! I was really impressed! He's going to clear his 100 mph target and then some with better tires.

He wasn't referring to Kev's top speed car. He was referring to Sausage. The Kraton build he did using two Kratons that he took a sawzall to and built one long ass RC truck, to try and go 100mph on grass.

That stupid stretched Xmaxx will never hit 100. He won't hit 100 off road either. Unless he plains to run on hard packed dirt. Across a grass field. I can't see that ever happening either...

The sausage is actually a Xmaxx stretched. That he took a saw Sawzall too. Don't believe he did that also to a kraton...

No, it was two Kraton 8s rigs. And it hit 97 mph on grass with a blown tire.

So hebhas two sausages?
Update: got the electric conversion done. Pulled off the springs on the clutch. So its instant grab to the bell. Or would need to wine up. Till it's got thrown out to the bell. Also changed the water lines. To a better color. haha such a slice set up for sure.. and of course it's raining out right now. We needed it to.
