If you're only getting 33 mph in first gear, don't expect to hit 50 mph in second gear. You need to gear taller.

Yups..

gearing makes the difference. The power is available..

Well I tried for a 2nd gear run today, this time with my brother holding the radar gun. My problem was that I still havnt taken my spool out of the rear yet. 1st gear is able to track fairly straight, but with 2nd gear and all that torque, it wants to slide out. So with several tries and a couple near misses with the curb, I was only able to get 46mph. Even my brother who has been in to R/C cars & trucks for over 15 years couldnt get it to go straight. Yes Mike I know you keep telling me to take the spool out. :o

So tomorrow I will take out the spool and also install my FlexTek titanium arms I got today.:Love: I am pretty confident that it will break the 50mph barrier if I can get it to go straight and not have to worry about running into curbs.

I will take some pics of it when I'm done installing the arms so I can show it off to you guys.

You may also want to adjust toe settings.

What tire do you run on what surface?

You are right Dafni on the toe settings. I was looking things over tonight and they are a little out of wack. I will adjust everything when I put my new control arms on.

I am running Proline Road Rage non 40 Series unfortunately. I am running on an asphalt street that is about 50 feet wide and I was still headed for the curb!:eek:

You need to treat those tires with an antiballooning medicure!

50!! you seriously need a therapist mate (though i heard about people reaching the 50mph with a single XL3100</span>

I actually put duct tape inside the tires. Virtualy no ballooning at all. I highly recomend this mod for anybody with a case of the baloons.:D

Yeah! me too!

That AND removing the spool.. LOL

Still sporting the spool! With that kind of power and speed, you are begging for a broken truck! Light oil in the diffs, and straight/even toe settings, along with a stiff servo saver and strong steering servo will be absolutely necessary to crank your truck up to 50mph with any chance of straight running. You could certainly reach over 50 with the dual setup.

DUde, ur going about this the wrong way, you need different motors. COnsider what coolhand said. ITs like runing a 9l on a 7lb truck. WOuld u REALISTLICALLY run a 9l on a 7lb truck? No! u go for motors that use less batteries, and have higher rpm? The only reason motors like the 9l are use is for the torque. But since the wieht is cut in 1/2, you dont need that much torque.

get dual c50 motors, get teh lowest turn you can get! Get steel gears for everythign. ALSO, COULD U PLEASE SELL ME ONE OF THE SYSTEMS SINCE 2 of them is OVERKILL, after your done with them?!?! PLZ!! I NEED BRUSHLESS IM DYING!! I HATE NTRO!!! I GOT 3 REVOS THAT DONT RUN!

????

Yeh I was sort of thinking the same thing... lol.

Since when was duel brushless overkill? Bring on the triple motor mount. :eek:

buy an extra g-maxx motor holder and you CAN fit 3!

Have a heart! share teh wealth PLZZZZ!! :( :( :( :(
