My Dual Brushless Top Speed runs! Finally. -
04.09.2007, 02:01 AM
I've had this new dual set up on my E-Maxx for almost a year now. Don't really have anywhere by my house that I am comfortable with attempting some speed runs. Narrow streets with cars = not good.
Well with today being Easter, the local Costco was closed so I ventured over to the parking lot. Perfect! Not a single car.
With my brother at the radar, I made a couple medium runs just to get the feel of it. First pass was a leisurely 46mph. Kicked it up a bit on the next couple then got 52mph and a 54mph. Then finally a 57mph. Then I decided I was going to bring it in and remove the spoiler for less drag. So as I'm bringing it in I got a little trigger happy and looped it at about 40mph (forgot to put my wheelie bar on) and it slid upside down for about 30 feet or so. Well in doing so, I ripped the damn antenna off, so that ended the fun.
Temps were good. Motors were in the 115* range and controllers were just over a hundred. With those temps I should be able to gear up a bit and along with removing the spoiler, should easily hit over 60mph. So, whens the next Holiday?:005:
