Will this be competitive? Our track has two long straights one is about 175 feet long and the other is about 225 feet. The laps in my Cobra GT Nitro are in the 24 seconds. I just want to be on pace with the nitros. Any help would be very welcome.
I've tested that combo in the e-Cobra, and it works great!
Only problem I have, I don't know what speeds the nitro's reach.
I drove the Ix8/2200KV with stock spur in the car, and 20 Pinion and reached a top speed of 75 kmh (measured with mylaps speedtrap).
Gearing heavier is still possible, but maybe going for the 2600KV LRP motor is also something to think about.
