Hey guys we've been down a while waiting for the RX8's to show up, but were back on track. got the RX8 with the Speed Passion 3.5 T on our custom SMC 40C 6000 mah pack. had some gearing issues on the first run, but have it under control now. ran last weekend and got it into the low 16 second laps.
We have not had much time tuning for handling since we had battled Speedo fires in the past. We have our Neu Motor ready to go in and have been running full telemetry, seem to consume 300 to 450 mah a minute and have had no problems with 5 to 6 minute run. just need to work on gearing a tad bit more and get a heat sink on the motor. will upload a poor quality video from this weekend with the Timezone E-Mugen on track with a nitro car.
Want to Thank Tekin, SMC, and Timezone Tuning Parts for all the help getting this rocket together. we saw 55mph last week on our 180ft straight. and she is getting all fluffed up for our show down with the E-yoder in July.
Excuse the mess of the car, still working on prototype.......

We're using 750 mah per minute. If I could get to 450 I'd be thrilled. Let me know what your burst readings are - East Bay Pete was getting 170 amps at full throttle, a little rough on the old LiPo's -- I puffed mine.

That might make a bit of a difference.
My Tekin Rx8 is a Nuclear Missile! 2250k/v and in a truck but most impressive!
What k/v rating would you need to go 70mph with a 3.2' tire? I know voltage will drop current but I think we need to keep it at 4 cells.

Aren't you using the castle creations speedo?

The Castle is very efficient, I'm quite pleased with its abilities (we have beat the crap out of ours in Off Road - zero failures, I might add) We aren't easy on equipment - they have a great product.

For one I think the name was obvious and I did think of it .. And you in all your infinite wisdom didn't see any humor in any of that leads me to believe that any luck you may have stumbled upon was NOT one derived from skill... just a certain kind of luck. Take that to your community and cash it.

It's really not a hard question to answer, since you already stated your opinion. I'm almost sure you have your facts.
You sound like you know quite a bit about electric components.
I'm curious.
Please do tell and share your wisdom.
There is no limit to learning

Thanks Pete - 70 mph would be a 22 tooth 
Guys, let's keep the discussion upbeat. Let's not go down the "hostile"path - it's all good. Brands don't matter - we are doing something new and fun. Leave the kool aid drinking elsewhere.
Yes, some of the manufactures do have a tech advantage - that is good to bring to the table. I think some of battery brands that are pushing 250 amp max current with high C ratings are right up our alley! Let's keep this thread challenging and informative, please

Let's try to keep this thread "drama free" as we want to focus on the cars and not the whit of our corresponants.
The idea is to draw attention to our cause and push the boundaries of the current technologies.

Will you have the eYoder ready for the Timezone race? Let me know how I can help getter done.
The Timezone rig is sportin' some serious mah - I don't think the eDavis has enough battery capacity - plus, I think I wasted my battery (don't know if I can second battery - that size was discontinued)
