Default Video of my SC8E doin 72mph last week...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKqLwoaJiSY

had the small onroad slicks on it {aka wishbones shaved}, and the low gearing..probably had a bit more MPH in it, i was letting off right as i got by the squad car, way to confined of a space to keep it pinned much longer haha.


Going to try sometime end of week with the new larger diameter tires, and the higher gearing to hit 100

its been 86 so far with taller tires, and 23/46 gearing

I've had multiple cops radar my cars over the years. They get a kick out of it too. It's easy, find one sitting in a parking lot, and walk up and ask. Worst they'll say is no, but after you tell them how fast you expect it to run, their curiosity gets the best of them This was shown perfectly in this vid, just listen to his reaction lol.

That is funny. I don't think it is a waste of tax dollars either.

I once had a cop drive up to my house, lean over the passenge seat and tell me that he had a report of someone speeding on our street....of course in reference to my RC car zipping up and down the street. He was joking of course....

Nice speed! I like how the tires were lifting when you were getting close to top speed

that was one of the better passes, i have to roll into the throttle so slowly, that i was running out of useable room to accelerate before getting to the squad car... it probably had a high 70s pass in it, but a few VERY close calls hitting the squad car were enough for me.

Here's a pic of some damage...



Holy hell, i just noticed the taillight on my Bird is cracked!
