Speed run car: OFNA Ultra GTP - Neu 2215

I tried to do some high speed tests today but the spur gear kept coming loose and I wasn't sure why. I later found out the setscrew was stripped and I replaced it. By that time I didn't have time for high speed stuff, but I did some quick runs in front of my house and I could only get about 1/4 throttle in the limited space I had:



Heres the data from that run (8s geared 64 pinion, 36 spur):

Very nice. Only 50A+ spikes and it was moving fast, that's awesome and seems like you can still gear up some.

Yea, I was quite happy that I was able to hit about 50mph with only 50 amps.

I went out later after I did that video and I did a much harder pull at about 50 % throttle for the last pass. This is what I got:

Still good. Man you can gear that thing to the moon if you only pulling those amps.

I did some testing this weekend and got the OFNA up to 73 mph.



But after I got 73mph, I started to push it further and the car had a blow over. On this run, I could definitely tell the car was faster than 73, thats when the nose of the car picked up and it took off:





As far as I can tell the damage is superficial and none of the vital components were affected. The body and right front tire seemed to absorb most of the impact. I have much more info at my blog. I have data from my Eagle Tree for those 2 runs.

This is what the car looked like before the takeoff.
