Thanks for sharing. Good luck un getting to 70!

My pleasure!

So nice of you

Yes, you will also want to make certain you have the most sticky tires for maximum acceleration potential. This will help keep distances shorter.

@@RCexplained Thanks for that.

Large diameter motors are a little easier to control and have the torque you need for your goal. A castle 1717 wouldn't be a bad motor for you goal but a big tp motor would really do it. Goodluck to you and I hope you reach your goal

thanks for the comment Matus. Speaking about current draw is indeed difficult to do. The current draw would be very difficult to speak about considering RC Cars. There's so many factors that influence what the value would be. Not all ESC's are able to safely limit current draw.

I would choose the motor that is rated for the most wattage. If there is no rating, I would select the motor that is physically the largest. Then optimize on power by selecting the maximum voltage without going over the max RPM of the motor. Using gearing that is appropriate for the power output of the motor. Example - Don't gear a 300watt motor for 100mph.

Hello, you have a brushed power system. Getting a brushless power system will make a world of a difference.

Larger motors will naturally have more torque/power.

@@RCexplained so for a kraton 8s. Stock motor 4685 1250kv or 5687 1100kv. The bigger can motor with bigger pinion and smaller spur should have more top speed?

Over spinning the motor is risky. If the car takes flight, the motor unloads and can exceed the maximum RPM you specified. In terms of current, you could easily gear down and from there monitor temps. If temps are OK move up in pinion size.

It's best to start conservatively checking temps before adjusting gearing for max performance.

Boat motors are little bit bigger same principle just you don't have gearing

160 amp spektrum esc struggles to get past 100 even in a light 1\8 gt car. You are gonna need an xlx2 for it to even be possible in a speed car. Monster truck tires aren't gonna make it past 70 to 80mph. Gonna have to work around those 2 issues to have a chance

@@Chris-adams-rc-journey I'm running rear felony hoons all around, and have swapped the diffs to twin rear felony diffs with straight cut input shafts. At 69.9 Sunday, I ripped tires free, and got excited passing the camera, and just yanked the trigger, instead of gradual to keep amps down. I realized that I turned gain back up after trials before Sunday, and servo was too fast. I took 9 teeth out of gearing, and dropped to 4s to figure out waggle. Felt like an idiot when I thought to look at remote after first run. Problem went away immediately. I'm trying to see what the top end is of the spectrum system. I've got a max 5 waiting in the cupboard, but I'm gonna try and get this 14lbs monster to 120. I'm not very experienced at rc, but love numbers. I need a really long run up, and some patience. I'll post a vid soon. It's a ton of fun trying to get this thing to do something it definitely wasn't designed to do. Thanks for the insights.

Be slow and smooth on the trigger and also heat your batteries up. Heat them to 115⁰ish and the internal resistance of the lipo will dron about 50٪ and help with voltage sag and voltage recovery good luck buddy I'd love to see you meet yor goal

@@Chris-adams-rc-journey thanks brother. I got a buddy that has to win at everything, and he got me into it. Just can't take the constant rubbing my face in it. Good guy, but the ego needs to be taken down a few spots. That's why I picked the fireteam. Perfect sleeper, especially if I don't try and trick it out. I went out for a hoonicorn after Ken block died, and they gave me a deal on the fireteam. When I told him, he asked me to go to rc store, and he got two hoonicorns, and a Felony. And now it's, you'll never beat my felony or super slash, so here I am, attempting the nearly impossible on stock system. But hey, at least I'm not at the bar wasting money on over priced drinks.
