He'll need to make some custom parts, or just by the conversion kit from www.aktionrc.com (I think that's it)

Also, he woun't be able to really drive it on a tennis court, too small and not enough traction. That's were I used to drive my micro for fun.

It goes over 70mph with this setup right now.

:)

I printed the setup. I give it to him tomorrow. Is that Epic a 10 turn motor a single, double, triple, or quad?

He has a Novak Spy as his ESC, good enough?

The tennis court here is made of rubber and it was once a dual court. the hobby/craft shop on post took the nets and pipes out of the court to accomodate a rather large course; big enough to run nitro! They just don't get the funding they want from the government to built a better track.

Oh, by the way........we are in the Army, and the race course is on a military installation! :nod:

Shows ya how many soldiers races r/c......... We even got an off-road course in Balad, Iraq! ;)

I don't race off-road.....But I drift every now and then! :D

The motor is a single, it's the new motors with 4 magnets on the can, so it has higher rpms.

The spy esc can't handle a 540 motor, so he'll need a esc that can handle a mod 540 motor, my GM V12 esc can go down to a 7 turn motor, but I use a 10 turn just to be safe.

I used to race my micro on a dual court too. :)

dude u need to try getting a quantum comp. 2 or a Keyence ESC for your micro. Then get a 6 turn motor. That thing would fly!!
So u have an actually Epic 10T motor that u use for 1/10 scale cars?

Yes. :)

Also, if I add 4 more cells to the battery pack it will get it to about 120mph, and yes people have got there micros over 100mph. :)

Thats too insane. The car will go flying.

there is NO WAY it will go 120, the speed record isint even that high. Please just stop this thread

I'm not the one that "went over 100mph" that's what I heard.

HEY. Pballkid, why don't you stop posting here if you don't like this thread.

Also, if you want to prove me wrong, send me $50 to buy a new battery pack (since they are custom made). If you don't want to do that, stop saying it isn't possibly, because you can't prove it know. So far I've proved everyone wrong by how fast my car goes now.

My charger only chargers up to 8 cells, so I would only be able to reach around 100mph.

Also, futureal, why don't you make that magazine article on a 540 micro?

vids can be sped up, its all editing, you proved NOTHING

Why do you think they have wings? They have a purpose, if you didn't know.

My car has lots of down force, so it won't lift off the ground. :)

I don't even know how to, or have the capability to speed up a video.

:)

Well, I thought will something that light, something should send it flying. A small bump maybe?

I just watched the vid..
also noticed its at 15 fps...
realtime is about 26 fps..
