By now I'm using it with normal timing and a 16 pinion with 60 spur.
What can I say .... It' a ROCKET.
I cannot say with precision because I do not have any instruments to measure
the speed, but I think it can reach 130 km/h quite easily.
And I was very very surprised to see the motor was not so hot as I thought .

Sure, I am just able to make up and down on the street, without any turns,
and it's quite difficult to make it running straight on, even if it's longer about
5 cm and it has a Gyro on the steering servo.

Thats the carziest Mini-T ive ever seen!!! Basically a Mini-t dragster. Really cool. Like it alot.

What do you mean by a gyro on the servo? Where did you get the chassis?

This is the way I did mine. I put them back to back on top. Its only way I could make it fit. Having the esc that close to the rx is probably not ideal, but I havent had any issues so far. Here are a few pictures so you can see what I mean.

BTW: I have the mamba 8K also. Total waste IMO if you run lipo. Its way to fast you cant control it. I have 3s and 2s packs for it, but I run it on a 6 cell nimh packs just to make it semi reasonable.

Yes we can call it a little drag-T :)
The gyro is an helicopter element, it's useful to compensate the rotor torque
by the tail rotor. It just "listen to any turn energy" and it try to compensate it.
The chassis is self made, from a 2mm silver cabon fiber.

Yes sure ... I have to say my goal was to make something really really fast.
My next step on the mini-t will be a 540 plettenberg shadow motor, a mamba maxx
controller. and some lipo 2S. I made some calculation and I think it will be able
to go over 150 km/h with a 42 pinion .... really do not know how I will be able to
make it fit, anyway it sounds cool for me :)

The mamba 8k with lipo 4S is sooooo fast. unbelievable.
I bet I'll be able to use it no more than 10 times. haha :)

Glad to see you like it.
