smirk-racing 253 Posted August 30, 2017 Yeah I tried to let him get well past me but the 50-60mph difference in speed closed the gap rather quickly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadInventor 3884 Posted September 2, 2017 Managed to get out to do some speed runs today. Got 53kph from the Mad Bull on silver cans (52kph on video), 25kph from the Juggernaut 2 on silver cans, and trying to beat 84kph fragged the spur gear in the DF-02 before getting a run on video (The spur gear twisted round the drive pin, which pressed the brass bush against the gearbox, which then melted a bit of the chassis and the gear cover). Video evidence will be uploaded when I get a chance. Videos: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

El Dougo 326 Posted September 3, 2017 Was running yesterday as well, I went big on gearing with all three cars and it didn't go well I removed the gear cover on the FF03 and switched from a 60 spur/41 pinion to 55 spur/50 pinion. It felt like it was struggling to pull the gearing and had an off at way over 70 (first run) which pulled a rear arm off The geared up the Silver Can powered (+3 pinion -4 Spur) TB04 Evo wouldn't pull over 40. I think I cooked the motor either this time or on the last run, I will drop in a fresh can and give it another go. The 418 was overheating with a 66spur/47pinion so I geared it down to 75 spur/41 pinion and it was much better, not getting too hot and doing back to back pulls with no problems. I got new record in the end so it eventually worked out ok, chuffed 4wd Speed Run Entry: TRF 41894.8 Mph - 152.5 KmhCastle 1406, 7700kv motorCastle Mamba Monster X, ESC3s Lipo, 4400Mah 65C48dp. 75T Spur, 41T PinionXceed Foam Tyres 100Mph is within grasp 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil_H 418 Posted September 3, 2017 I watched the TRF Run last night, impressive! Nice work. I'd not like to think how it would end up with a off at that speed! The poor FF03 lol Not sure when I'll be doing a fast run again, got a few other projects going on at the mo. But I will be back! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jason1145 3986 Posted September 3, 2017 Good runs Phil and Doug, updating the lists now... nearly 100mph can't be legal on a public road ( but then anything over 30mph in town is forbidden).. I wonder what plod would do if he caught us exceeding the speed limits 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you want these two entries on the list as you haven't followed the usual format entry code Yeah, sorry about that. Mad Bull, 53kph, Silver can + Hobbywing 1060 + 19T pinion, standard wheels & tires & 3S LiPo. 52kph, 32.3mph please enter in rwd category & silver can class & also +1 for number of car types in list (Brings me up to 10). Juggernaut 2, silver cans + Ripmax unlimited ESC + 19T pinions, standard wheels & tires, 3S LiPo 25kph, 15.53mph, please update in silver can class (same speed now as Wooders Bullhead) & update the entry in the 4wd class (Just a bit more speed, no movement up the list unfortunately). With regard to the DF-02, it's going to need a new spur gear, gear cover, and chassis. I just don't think the spur gears are strong enough for the motor, as this is the second one I've shredded. The drive shaft now turns freely inside the spur gear and the drive pin is still in there. I think the only real remedy would be a steel spur gear locitited onto a home made drive shaft. I'm starting to think the DF-02 has reached terminal velocity. After advancing the timing slightly the top speed went down to 79kph before the spur died, so am thinking about possibly retiring it and maybe looking for a belt drive 4wd on road car (Maybe a TA-05). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingfisher 1171 Posted September 3, 2017 An update to the car I am building for this thread, and showing the body I have chosen. Chassis is finished. TT02R - RWD 4370kv brushless to start with, then plan to move up to a Castle. Then, Lipo sometime after that. 66/37 gearing. Currently waiting on a steering kit and wheels/tires. Both of which are held up due to the hurricane with no idea when they will show up. I had an issue with the PS-49 Sky Blue Anodized Aluminum paint. It sprayed a lot of moisture out of the can when I applied the paint. I am certain that I shook it enough before using it. Don't know what was wrong with it, but I kind of like the look. It gives the car a dirty appearance, as if it had been racing in the rain. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
