speedy_w_beans 4272 Posted October 31, 2019 Chris hasn't fixed the issue with editing first posts/topic posts, so until then there's not much I can do to update the list. I don't think it would be a good idea to copy it over and over in complete form, so we're stuck for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lowspot 299 Posted November 6, 2019 Silver can is just the standard silver can but there are a lot of good brushed motors available and they are not allowed - 8T Orion or 11T super modified, and so on . . . . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I'd ban gyros, but that's me...😬) Only rules are, must have a body shell, and must use ,model specific gearbox's and gears. Run a modified brushed motor and claim fastest brushed, someone will think it's beatable, and a new category is born 😀 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lowspot 299 Posted November 10, 2019 It's a bit sad, that this doesn't work anymore.Can you not just update the list as an answer instead of having only one list at the beginning of the thread? That keeps the listing up to date and is far more comfortable than going back to page one all the time? Just my 50 cents . . . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to clarify, are there any restrictions on how bodyshells can be cut? I have seen people cutting even built-in wings down to reduce drag, for example. Basically, do we have carte blanche to modify bodyshells as we see fit, as long as the car has one? I am presuming so, or otherwise the potential for dispute over cut-lines and wing mountings would be huge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedy_w_beans 4272 Posted November 15, 2019 I'm super busy with work these days and don't have hardly any time for RCs anymore. The little free time I do have is spent with my wife. Anyone who would like to copy the list into a new post or new thread feel free to do so. I may not be active in RC for another half year or year with the way things are going now. It was fun while it lasted... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wooders28 4723 Posted November 15, 2019 Thanks for running with the thread @speedy_w_beans ,trying to juggle work, family life and hobbies, can get overwhelming. All the best 👍 I'm in a similar position, and not been as active as previous years, but I'll throw my hat in the ring, rather than see the fun stop. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stew_mac 326 Posted December 8, 2019 This might be my first entry into the normal class? Tamiya TRF416x 4wd class 122MPH 196KPH 3s battery, Castle Creations mamba monster 2, Tp power 6850kv motor and 65/39 gearing. The car is pretty much all TRF416. The only thing that isn't is the rear spool which is from a TRF419 (can't find the 416 spool that easy these days) the rest of the work is just glued on carbon fiber, no modification to fit the pinion or spur, they are 48p gears that all touring cars use. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stew_mac 326 Posted December 31, 2019 I'll just add this here incase this thread gets going again. Tamiya TRF416x 4wd class 128MPH 205KPH 3s battery, Castle Creations mamba monster 2, Tp power 6850kv motor and 65/39 gearing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raman36 1656 Posted January 21, 2020 @stew_mac That is madness!!! Lol I have had a Novak Ballistic 3.5 turn that had never been soldered up. So I decided what the hay.. I’ll drop it in my TA05 V2, run with with 26/105 fdr 8.30, running 2S. I slapped on Alfa 155 Martini Shell and did some runs.. checked motor, was cool at 80°F. So I geared up to 29/105 fdt 7.44 and motor was still under a 100°. I decided to have my son clock it, hit 57 mph. So gearing wise I figure I can eek out another 3-8 mph before reaching high temps. The car is sick fast as it is... Now I see you’re at 120 mph plus.. that’s just insane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedy_w_beans 4272 Posted January 22, 2020 I don't know what's changed since October 30 of last year, but today I tried to edit the first post to see if I could update the list, and it actually worked! So we're back in business! @Group c @MPJG! @stew_mac your entries have been added to the list, and rankings have been adjusted. Nice work to all of you! @Yalson I apologize for my grumpiness last year; there was a lot going on and I was stressed out: I look forward to seeing more entries from other club members! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow. I don't think I have ever seen an RC car doing 128mph that close before. It is absurdly fast. I have to admit, though, that I thought when you got in the car and pulled away, you were going to look over and see the 416 overtaking you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
