Thanks. pete. where is your epic run? post it man..

tc4basher

They deleted my thread about the epic pass and wreck and then banned me remember? Lol

Here it is...Mugen MGT7 Eco on 8s. 173 mph through the traps and a blown tire causing a wreck at the end:

We're gonna miss you.

Thanks for the kind words but the car has been back together since about 3 days after the crash. Just been taking my time and doing some testing to make sure everything is right again before going for super high speeds again. Here is a few passes from last weekend with my other slower motor. 145 mph:

That's funny, my slower motor only goes 145 mph, lol

tc4basher

Lol. Never thought I would be at this level myself

I will be happy if I can hit 100.1mph but I know after that, trying to get more will be the hunt

tc4basher

Speed is addictive. I have a feeling once you hit 100 you will want more.

Is anyone going fast with a 56/58mm diameter 1/5 motor?

tc4basher

Almost the only cars that can fit 56/58mm motors would have to be 1/5 scale cars. Smaller cars would need a different motor mount to fit something that big although I think the Traxxas XO1 may be able to fit one on its stock mount. Also most 1/5 scale motors are lower kv that would require at least 10 or 12s to make optimal power. Its challenging to fit that much battery in something smaller than 1/5 scale. Not to mention the extra weight could negate most of the extra power of a 56/58mm motor.

Can any body recommend a good 4s motor? Or, is it safe to assume that a 2s/3s motor would be okay to run on 4s? I'm talking 1/10 scale car. Thanx.

tc4basher

Castle's 5700kv 4 pole on 4s is pretty reliable and runs fairly cool and is capable of MPH's in the 120's in a 1/10 scale.

I don't think it would be safe running 4s in a motor that can only handle 2 or 3s. overheating, among other things, would be your enemy.
