Fastest Motor on 6s?

[lincpimp]

Man, you guys are really sh!tting in this thread....

I did some speed runs in a revo a few years back. My setup was bl with stock suspension and I was using the revo to test the effect of wheel balancing and tire taping.

My conclusions were as follows:

An unbalanced tire is a bad idea, especially if it is not taped either. Even at 60mph the out of balance condition was causing enough force to compress the suspension to its upward travel limit and let the tire leave the ground.

Taping helped, but balancing was the only way to get the vehicle to track smoothly. Pretty sure I was running a 1515 1d on 4s, geared high enough to get over 60mph with properly taped an balanced tires that would not grow (keep in mind tire growth increases the rollout, so you will go farther per tire revolution, thus faster top speed.)

Pretty sure the 1521 wil be the longest can motor that will fit an ervo with mods. I think 1521 on 6s with a sutable kv to do 45k - 50k rpm max with the correct gearing will be the best bet to get up to 100mph. Airflow mgmt will be critical, and I think a tire around 1.5" wide will be about right.

Limiting the suspension travel to the minimun you can get away with is critical. 1/2 inch of travel at the tire and a very smooth survace will yeild the best result.

I like the body you have rootzman, keeping air out of under the body is a good idea. You can cut the back out to aid air extraction as well.
