what on road car?
1/10 scale or 1/8 scale?
how fast more or less can i go with a mamba 5700kv and 3s lipo?
Remember money isn't an issue...at all.
10th scale plenty to choose from. 8th scale on-road Serpent966e the only one coming out, sometime in '10.
3S lipo's instead of 57kv, run a 2.5k Tekins Redline alot faster especially with 10th on-road car. and easier to reach 100+mph. I have a old Xray T1 with 3S 5000 mah lipo, Stock spur, Tekin RSPro, Tekins Redline 2.5kv.depending on pinion teeth, 100+ is reach wth no problems. Thing is you have to run Foam tires. Regular rubber tires will balloon so much, up to 4-4 1/2 inches in diameter. The T1 I don't race, it used as a test bed for my electric cars, just bashing at Encino Veladrome(outdoor closed cycle track).
