I don't think a single velineon could pull 52 and not choke or kill the controller.

This guy is 29 according to his profile on rctech

With the 2 speed, and careful driving I think it could do it. S can motors are potent, and can push out some power. They will get hot, so they do not make for a good bashing motor. For a couple of speed runs it would be fine.

I had an emaxx running a 6s motor with 3s 10000 maxnaps lipo. I easily got over 60 out of that truck, but puffed the lipo in the process. So it was pulling some amps, I even thermaled the MM. It could handle about 2 mins of runs, that is about it.

man, james didnt know youd get into a pissing contest with this guy lol, hes so full of it tho

He does not understand gearing, and I am trying to educate him a bit. He seems to think that he has added a bunch of teeth to both gears and it should go faster...

Not really a pissing contest, but I did find this on rcgroups:

"hi all. im selling my brushless converted revo for $475.. its a gas chassis with the converstion on it.. it has a veleneon motor with a mamba max esc...ive changed the gears to a jato 54spur and a 22tooth traxxas emaxx pinnion.. its been ran with 4cell and 3 cell lipo...the truck is very fast [58-60 mph] pics up friday or call 4435216193"

If he was running the vxl on 4s lipo, he may have been able to hit that speed with his gearing. Yet again, I would not try to bash with that setup, but for speed runs it may hold up...

I would have left the guy alone if he hadn't have started cussing and ranting. Main thing is that I don't want someone unknowing to waste their hard earned money with this guy only to get ripped off. Whatever other fantasy he wants to put on himself is fine as long as other people aren't getting conned in the process.

Hey linc he only said "bring anything 1/8th scale". He didn't say it had to be a MT. I'm in MA, maybe I should bring my Ultra GTP down there and show him up!

I thought the same thing. I have a gtp with a kb 45 8l in it. Just swap the MM for a MMM and run 5-6s on it, instead of the usual 4s. That should be good for 60mph or so...

[What's_nitro?]

Yeah. I currently have a 1515/1Y on 6s in mine. It would completely destroy his truck...since after beating him in a race I would turn around and ram his truck at WOT just because he is such an ass.

I would say skip ramming the truck, and go for his leg...

1515 1y on 6s must be a beast. are you still running the 2 speed? I use the solid center gear, 20/51 gearing, and 4s on the 2300kv KB45 motor. Still runs cool, and the mm is doing fine too. It can get a pair of trakpowers warmer than I like though... I have 4 trakpowers, maybe I should do 2s2p???

Here is the same, guy and the same truck on rcgroups f/s section:

Looks like we are not the only people who disagree with him...

[TexasSP]

You're just jealous linc because he will whoop anything you have! Just get on up to Maryland and get whooped!

Honestly, it kind of reminds me of Roy D Mercer pranks. I read it again earlier and Roy just popped in my head, who knows?

If I hit his leg there would be a lawsuit...if I hit his truck I get to watch him cry anyways!

Nah, I have a center spool and the 51T plastic gear, and actually my kit came with the spool. The Neu will get hot if I run until the batteries dump, but everything else is fine. Believe me when I say it has WAYYY TOO MUCH POWER!

I need Mike to make me a 30T pinion (23T there now) so I can put some load on the motor...all the donuts are making me fat.

Sdp-si have stainless 30t mod1 5mm bore gears... Should run you about 20-22 bucks shipped... They go from 15 to 96t in various sizes.

Do you have a build thread or pics of your gtp?

Maybe I should drive to Houston and stomp your sissy ass?!
