It is legal. Actually the only rule change made is for the trucks.

I could certainly go for some belted tires. I have some on my 1/10th touring car, and a set for my 1/8th buggy for speed runs.

So they made a rule change allowing wings on trucks??

The only rule that was actually set was for the max size of the vehicle and I hope they change that, because 1/4 scale can't compete. The only new rule is for the trucks as the tires have to be outside the body and they put a minimum height and width on them. Anything else goes as far as I know. Any aerodynamics that will help you go faster can be done. You can even add 4 motors to your truck to help :lol:. So add a wing to that bad boy and let it rip. I have to see that monster go over 100mph.

These will be completely different from any tires you've seen. My uncle only uses the best rubber as they make protectors that goes inside truck tires. With the excess he's already making all kinds of stuff. He made sandals and ashtrays. I have attached pictures of the rubber ashtrays he made.

Hmm, I'll check on making a wing then.

Count me in if they ever become reality.

Make it Indy car style. Make it adjustable so you can mess with downforce.

I will let everyone know when they are done. Might take a little long though.

Here is the video of the run.....enjoy.

Awesome.

Problem is everytime we have been out there the past 2 times the crosswind has been VERY high. Probably 15-20mph......and it pushes the truck to one direction badly. I hope to nail down a clean run once the winds calm down further this summer. Hope to hit 84-85mph or so with the same combo....if not more with the next motor.

One question, did you buy that 40.160H that was in Ebay? If so, get a bigger pinion and let it rip. The 40.160 has been capable of putting out 300A. With 12S and a bigger pinion, I can see 100mph after a wing is added to keep the front end down.

Unfortunately I didn't.....still running the HV Sent. I don't know if 100mph is possible, but I may end up trying. I want to finish my fast buggy...but I haven't had the time. Also I need more motor......that 1521 is putting out about all it can do.

i honestly have to admit that if one watches the video it doesn't seem to go even close to 80mph. so that must be very misleading from just watching the vid. how accurate are such gps measurments? don't get me wrong. if you say that thing goes 80mph it may be so. it just doesn't look like on such a video.

just for a comparison here is very old video of mine with a bl mp7.5, at 1.10 e.g. there is a pass by that seems not so slow just from watching it. and that buggy not even reached 50mph back then. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgJpHjMqqbM

whatever. its not that i cared much but i was just a little surprised from watching the vid.
