Fastest Truggy record? - RC-Monster Forums

nitrostarter · **Fastest Truggy record? -** 05.14.2009, 04:40 PM

Is there any recorded speeds for a Truggy? Just curious.

I just got my CRT truggy in and I might throw 6s and a big pinion on to see what kind of speeds I can get.

Then she'll be tamed down for 5s and track running.

Yep....And I'm still the unofficial holder. I should get started again lol.

I only went 59mph on 10S. Would've went much faster if my truggy stayed on the ground lol.

My Vendetta ST went about that fast... Had a Neu 1107 in there with a 1/10th sidewinder esc. It was pretty quick.

However, I never clocked it. It probably only went... like.... 50.

I do have a video though!

I wasn't really trying too hard and I got my Hyper to 54mph, and my crt.5 broke 60.

Truggies should be able to do huge speeds considering they are so stable and well balanced. All I can say is if a rustler can do it, a trug should easily do it.

80+, go for it, lets see it.

Will do. I'm converting the Jammin CRT now. With the gears I have on hand, speed calc says up to 116mph... Doubtful on this number but it should be all of 80+, just hope I dont burn up the MMM.

As soon as I get it back together, I'm going to give it a shot.

The most difficult thing will be finding the correct tire choice.

After seeing Nitrostuffer drive I think tire choice will be the least of his problems...

I will have to see as I don't know if my daughter will go to Florida this summer. I will have to get back to it though to test the 10S 240A esc. I'm also trying to get a new battery for my TC3 as most of the lipos I've tried can't handle the 200A and 1.5T. One of my 2S 25C 5000mAh pack went down to 1.5V and the carbon fiber drive shaft seems to want to shatter lol.
