How many cells have you used to make the 65mph speed run?
|
I have been 62.5 mph on 9.6 volts(8 nimh cells) in my traxxas bandit with a 9918 and lehner 5300. When I order my 6s motor this week I think I can get near 70 on 9.6 volts, the 6s has a 5900 kv rating. We will see:)
These are short runs and at very high gearing. You would not be able to run this gearing all the time only just for a few passes or it will fry the motor or controller. Although you could just add a couple cells and probably get 60+ mph on normal gearing. I just don't have a ten cell charger so it's a pain for me to run more than 8 right now. I would not run more than 10 on the lehner 5300, 12 volts puts it right under its 65k rpm limit.
With the 5300 and normal gearing my bandit does about 50-55mph on 8 cells right now. Really fun to drive.
