100 mph RC8 brushless

Neil we are talking about mod1 gears not .8 or 32p gears. A 25 tooth mod 1 is bigger than a 27 tooth .8 or 32p. Bigger than 25 tooth mod 1 steel gear is almost non existant.

a 25t mod 1 gear is huge .
ok i got 4 ofna blue dot foams, losi eight e 43t spur plastic ( lighter than metal )
hpi 25t pinion gear, 6s 30c turnigy lipo, high down force wing. mamba monster 2650.
seem like a setup?

i did 100+ this morning with 30C flightmaxx lipos, 34/25(mike's mod 1 is lighter than HPI, i have both) with green springs all around(you need it to be soft and low) with the 2650. on the mamba settings, 0% punch control, no reverse and everything else stock except i did use the hi-flow ofna wing...that made a big difference in control ability....after 5 passes the 2650 was 128 degrees, the esc was 90 and the batteries 91.

i was also using the losi rally tires. i think if anything stops you from getting 100 it would be wheel spin on the foams.

also, make sure your drive train isn't binding in any way and is very free spinning. that's why you'll need to sand like 1/8" of the face of the 43T to prevent binding the center diff and the motor mount.

i love this setup...i just bought another 2650 MMM combo an hour ago so i could build another. thanks to OverrevO for the suggestions. bye bye to my 1.5D. it had too much torque for me.

I'll get video of it on my day off saturday.

Alas, I cannot read, for Im sure the info said Mod1, but then again, I was wrong; rare thing indeed....


Do like those Acer poster girls though, think RCM should sex up its image too a bit...

Will the plastic 30 tooth work with brushless power since the aluminum gear is the wrong degree pressure angle ?

I ran the plastics for 1 to 1 ratio on a 10S truggy and had no problems with them. Ofcourse, your trigger finger might be more anxious than mine........
