1/5th scale speed project???

[jzemaxx]

I figured the Neu being rated 10Kw's is more then enough to get that car moving some pretty serious speeds. I don't see why that car wouldn't be able to get 100mph with a 2215 and 12S at least.

Lutach the only that has me concerned is the gearing. Are those mod 1 gears??? Also it looks like it uses several gears for torque multiplication. I don't think its necessary though and probably just go direct to spur.

Maybe that's for the gas engine. The Neu 2215 will be able to provide plenty of torque to ditch all those gears. I have designed a mounting system for motors, that is very unique and I will utilize it on the 5th scale as well. The only thing that might give up will be the drive line. Just remember that the gas engine will have a peak RPM of around 12-13000rpm and the Neu will go to 30000rpm. The gas only puts out around 4hp and the Neu will be able to put out over 5000 watts or 6.7hp and torque that the 23cc gas engine will never produce. I can see a 5th scale geared properly go around 120-150mph.

It should go much faster. Let me get the car here and do some changes and we will see.
