Carmine A 2046 Posted March 1, 2021 I'm running my HB on 3S... I don't think it takes away from the challenge. Getting this Chassis to handle insane speed, including the poor front Aerodynamics - THAT'S the real challenge. And tell your Girlfriend that she ROCKS!! That was an awesome gesture.

Oh How Original 126 Posted March 1, 2021 So, a little fettling on the HB this evening after chucking the Kraton on the wardrobe in annoyance Lowered it 12mm more on the rear and I believe 18mm on the front, she now sits nice and low. I noticed last time out it seemed to want to steer left a tiny bit. In my haste, I'd added 2mm more spacer to the right, it was causing the steering issue, all fixed now. I've also gone up to a 20t pinion, since I was let in on a little 'hack' to have the motor only held in with one screw, it actually allows for a 20t pinion, winner winner, gone up 3t, that should see some improvement on the speed. I also noticed, really weirdly, my glue must be mega strong, the wheels is actually cracking all the way round on both sides but the tyre is still intact never seen this before!! Hopefully going to a new place tomorrow, I should be able to hold it flat out for longer and not uphill, like Episode 3, which is coming very soon! And added a lightened main drive gear, think it was 4g lighter, probably won't make any difference but well y'know... And added my freebie red wheelnuts, they add at least 5hp! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oh How Original 126 Posted March 4, 2021 Here is Episode 3 of the Holiday buggy speed car project, in this video we smash the previous 43mph record... Okay maybe not by a huge margin, but on this chassis and body, it's a decent achievement! Hope you enjoy, subscribe to follow along with the project and wait for the next episode! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oh How Original 126 Posted October 30, 2021 Man, I don't know how I forgot to update this. Lifes got in the way a little I guess, anyway here's the 4th and I'm going to say probably final episode of the WR HB project. Sorry it's so late posting. Some of you may have seen it already. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oh How Original 126 Posted November 7, 2021 And we have a new record Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oh How Original 126 Posted November 11, 2021 Well I caved completely and tried a 3s in it, this is a real testament to Hobbywing in my opinion, massively overpowering this little ESC and so far, it's not blown. I believe the limit is 6000kv for 2s running, I currently have a 8250kv motor hooked up and put a 3s in it lol. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
