GTP looks familiar ? - RC-Monster Forums

snellemin · **GTP looks familiar ? -** 03.19.2009, 01:07 AM

Bought RCHippie GTP, who btw is a great guy to deal with. I got to say that he dialed in the car perfect. Doesn't even looked like it was used much either. Anyways, I started with 1512 2y with 51/20 on 6s A123. I had to set the brakes on 20% on the Losi 1/8 esc. Car tracked straight like an arrow. Turned around and dropped in 1515 1.5D with same gearing.

The power is insane. I break the tires loose and batteries warm up pretty quick. I'll use this setup in the Bracket dragrace soon. It's gonna be fun.

Looks huge compared to my CRC GenX 10

Nice. Ultra GTP is a great car.

The losi ESC is still kicking butt and the GTP is a power hog. Battery temps were 125F, motor 106F and the ESC 116 after 3 minutes.

Looks awesome.I am running a 1512/1.5D/F on 4s in my GTP and its insane fast.

Actualy I used the photos of rchippie's GTP to put my GTP together a few weeks back.

The acceleration is nuts with the 1515 motor and gives the A123's a good workout. I'll just have to drop back to the 1512 for bashing and parkinglot racing. Or I can do the 10s A123 with a new battery tray, for longer run times.

Here's a vid of it running. It's slower on the blacktop. On grainy concrete, I have way more speed.

Looks real fast . It's funny watching someone drive a car you use to own

Looks nice. I need a new body for mine. I was doing some speed runs in a parking lot and the back tires balooned enough for them to grab the rear fender edge and rip the rear part of the body apart.

forking fast!!! nice!

Swapped in the LT-10s and stuffed 10s1p A123 in it. Motor is the 1512 1400kv Tekno. The 1515 is just too much for the poor diffs. I smell a RCM slipperential in my near future.

looks sweet. should i put mine back together and give you a fair race some time? i've stepped out of rc for a bit, and recently tried to sell off parts from my yusa, with little hits. i'm thinking about just putting it back together and play with it again.

you guys still racing west side on weekends?

phatmonk · 03.29.2009, 06:21 PM

I took my GTP out last weekend for some test runs and its awesome.I ran 3s with a TE Neu 1512/1.5d and went to 4s and had some real fun.The body vibrates alot at high speed but its pretty easy controling it compared to a 1/10 car.Here are some pics.

Actually we race a bit closer now. 249 and grants road.

I blew both diffs today and hit a curb at about 45mph. The car survived, the paint didn't.

Would be nice to have somebody else to race against with. You are the only A123 speed demon I know off around this area.
