Warbys LimitlessV2 build thread

[turbo27]

I thought of painting my basher body silver with black accents. Going with the silver bullet theme.

 

[Hammer Down]

Yes it's on the short list but I'm still not sure. I like metallic colours like gun metal, grey, silver, etc but its not really practical for a speedrun car. I should paint it all one bright colour but I can't choose one. Bright so I can see it.

PS-23, PS-12, PS-58 and PS-30 with PS-31 windows, are on the list. Or a combo of some. But that could change tomorrow.

Komatsu or Caterpillar yellow…

Komatsu or Caterpillar yellow…

I considered painting my Bigrock CAT yellow but went with black. Still may do it one day.

They are reflectors in the middle of the road.

Nice build!

We call them Road Turtles here and they are on every road, even ones without stripes. Those roads have blue ones to indicate fire hydrants. Needless to say I've collected a few of them and they usually win.

Good looking car so far. I’d also paint it something bright, but I’m also getting old so anything past 20ft is getting blurry and I need that hi viz. Go fpv?

What kind of speed are u looking at out of this thing

What kind of speed are u looking at out of this thing

I'll be happy if I start at about 110mph, then aim for 150mph. Then I'll probably put a GT body on it and aim higher. Depend on whether the road will allow those speeds.

Got a minute today to take the Limitless out to my speedrun road for a test run. Unfortunately as soon as we got there, we realised there was a strong cross wind. I was never going to get any PB's today but that just added to my nerves.

It drove well. No vibrations or pulling to one side. Its stable at speeds but I need to reduce the sensitivity of the steering. At low speeds the steering is too touchy. I haven't turned on the gyro either.

I never got anywhere near full throttle. Just getting to know the car first. Maybe about 3/4 at the most. I wasn't really taking much notice of the speed and forgot to restart the gnss app a couple of times. Think it got to about 85mph. That's an ok starting point.

After a few runs(some interrupted by traffic), I went to driving it away from me at low speed when I heard a noise. I knew straight away it was a loose gear mesh noise. I immediately stopped, picked it up and noticed the motor was loose in the car. Very loose.

Took it home and found the motor mount sliding plate screws had come loose. They had started walking out of the motor itself. I was very lucky I heard the noise when I did. There is no visible damage to the gears or anything. I think I forgot to add threadlocker to those two screws.

I dodged a bullet there. If that had of happened at high speeds there would have been a lot of damage and possibly no brakes.

Anyone ever had those screws come loose?

Photo after I reinstalled the screws and plate. Pinion still looks new.

Also, It needs some lights and bright paint. I can't see it up the road in the shade.

I heard a couple days back that a Limitless owner recommended, bright lights up front and red in back. The brighter the better. That way when the car is so far away, that it might help you to distinguish front from back at a far distance. He said that at a far distance, he found it hard to tell, especially when the car is so far away, and the fact that it might get turned around during the run. Paint it bright. . Have fun, as I love mine. I don't do speed runs. Too much stress for me. But I have a fast car just the same.. He recommended a separate source of power to make it work. Anyhow, hope this helps.

The light idea works good. It done on drones a lot too to determine direction. Little extreme for a car lol but this is how I set mine up

 

[turbo27]

Yeah we have a unique drone. That's how we Can tell front to rear.

Just a pair for headlights and tail lights.

If you can't see that, you're blind.

It's not really the colour scheme I wanted but I think it's more practical for the application.

 

[turbo27]

Let us know how it goes. Can't wait to see a photo of the paint job.

I did one in yellow, but I don't do speed runs.Also one in red. The yellow shows up better than the red one. But that orange should work. I thought of a florescent red for me, if I do long distance runs.

Ordered.

Now your speaking my language. With some black trim or even white or yellow accents.

I wasn't going to bother doing a build thread for this build as every man and his dog has already done one and mine is no different to most.

But I noticed I haven't yet posted a build thread on RCT and thought, what the heck.
Because this was unplanned, the photos were also not planned so are a bit all over the place, sorry.

This V2 Limitless roller was bought for me last year by my lovely wife. Little did she know that the initial cost of the roller was nothing compared to the overall cost to finish it .

My intent for this build is speedrunning (surprise surprise). I'll hopefully start off close to my Typhons PB and aim for 150mph. I wanted to also try products I haven't experienced before like Castle Creations and Perfect Pass. I also didn't want the electronics to be the limiting factor on this build. So the XLX2 was a no-brainer.

This 1/7th scale platform is completely new to me as well as the products I've added, so a lot of research and questions were required.

Parts I've fitted so far:
CC XLX2 esc
CC 1721-1260kv 8mm shaft.
CC 8mm bullet connectors
QS8-S connectors
PP monster servo and horn
PP Ultimate driveshaft kit & spool(very nice)
cf side skirts
cf front wheel space air dams
Alloy wing supports and brace
Plaig Bearings ceramic hybrid bearings
Radiolink R7FG rx
2x CNHL Racing 120C 8000mah 4s batteries
GRP GTJ04-XM3 slicks on rigid white rims
1M diff oil

Suspension has been tuned, diffs shimmed and 1m fluid. GRP have beed balanced.

Calibrated the xlx2 to the TX.
Downloaded Castle link and upgraded the software and adjusted some of the settings.

I've yet to decide on colours and paint the body.

Sick build dude i'm amazed! I'm still thinking about getting a Limitless V2 or Felony of my own or maybe both at some point if i get a Limitless she'll be named Aria and i think i'll do the build in stages like i plan to do my X-Maxx and how i did my XO-1. If do it Aria will get a Max 6 G1\4985 1,650kv combo to start with since i have one lying around and don't need to go super fast right out of the gate. If i just buy the Limitless and don't bother with the Felony i'll also set it up to be both a basher and a speedrun car sometimes. Thanks to Rattlecan on lexan's video on Youtube we showed that you can fit a center diff to the V2 Limitless if you buy 122.5 and 147mm center dogbones from ScorchedRC parts and it will work.
