Hey guys! So the Top Force was going to be an easy runner but after my bash session with her yesterday I decided to see what speeds I can get out of her. I managed 66 Mph or 105 Kph today. Not bad for a buggy released in 1991on stock tires...hahaha. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Check out the vid below. I shoehorned a 4s in her tonight and a 120 amp esc. I'm trying for 113 Kph or 71 Mph tomorrow.ย

There is an 'official' tamiyaclub speed run thread in the main section on the site. Don't know whether you've seen it - not sure whether it's been updated for a little while. Dig it out and submit it! ๐Ÿ˜

Nice going!! ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’จ

Here's the link to the ,Tamiya Speed runs, (part #2), with the rules.

Keep an eye on motor and esc temps doing multiple runs, cost me some elecs with, just one more run....๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜‚

Have you downloaded the software for the GPS meter? You can alter the , refresh rate (mode accurate speed reading) and also a cool Google earth overlay, and you can click on andย you can see the speed at each point.

You need to have the car in shot, from zeroing the GPS, until the speed reading at the end, not suggesting you would, but ,to eliminate any foul play.

Here's a fake one I did with a bullhead, 7.2v nimh on silver cans, with 2 gps meters.

Holy Geeze how did you do that? lol...Yeah I hear you...normally I show the gps zero'd and keep the car in sight.ย (check my other speed run vids) But when I do 105 in my Slash it's way down the street. You could have partner swap the GPS quick at the far end of the run before you turn around.ย I have a new camera a DJI Osmo Pocket and I couldn't get it to focus on the GPS. My new faster 71Mph vid is better. At any rate I'm legit...when you cheat you only cheat yourself...

Yeah I actually did update it awhile ago when I got it. It's at the fastest now...10,000hz? I have my TT02RR up to 97Mph.
