Local guy regularly hits 2.3-2.4 with a VXL setup on 2S with reaction belted tires. He is actually one spot ahead of me on the top 10 list and is very consistent. 132ft no prep 2 things; *I definitely recommend bringing a piece of carpet with you so you can heat up the tires more. The carpet is so you can warm them without wearing them out. You want those tires up over 125°f at least. Guys with tire warmers are heating them up near 170° *Larger pinion, Those VXL motors have a ton of torque (Great progress Richie!!)

Nothing to do at all, when it pops a wheelie. That means you need to loose your clutch a little.

When it's on the back tires the steering doesn't matter much. Adjusting rear shocks does more to get a straight launch

Get some proline reaction it’s the horrible traxxas tires that are killing you. I have seen 2.80s with just a change of the tires and speed gear, a little more suspension tuning and 35t pinion 2.50s are possible, plus you have better bearing so that will help a little bit more.

I am going to try adjusting the wheelie bar as it's in it's lowest position now so not much weight shifting back on launch. I've only just got it so will work on it over the coming weeks, all advice much appreciated!

The 'gyro' in the motor wants to twist the cars chassis.. same as real drag cars. you may need to stagger the rear springs AND set preload. like an 025 on one side and an 030 on the other.
@DriftomaniacsRC 2 жыл бұрын
Noted but note the gyro is in receiver…not the motor. Love your input but add value like the spring advice which was good but not the gyro BS

I’m running completely stock besides an upgraded carbon fiber wheelie bar on 3s 5500mah with an 80c burst and I’m running 2.7 seconds at 132ft. The competition that I’m going in has the following rules: -no changing the chassis -only stock motor and esc -3s or lower lipo Anyone have any tips on getting an edge on everyone else?
@ItzzSwaggy 2 жыл бұрын
Was thinking about centering the esc and receiver, getting vertical relocates for the shocks, and some type of cooling system for the motor
@rattlehead7281 2 жыл бұрын
You should be able to run a lot better than 2.7 on 3s, me and my brother custom built drag slash both run 2.7s on 2s stock LCG chassis. It's all in the gearing and suspension.
