Thank you for the comment!

You're welcome!

Go for it! I hope you get it. Thanks for the comment!

@@RCexplained hi, im just getting around to building this car, im thinking am 1100kv castle motor, with stock spur, and 34t pinion, giving 111mph would be a good choice, based on the calculator.....thoughts?

I’m going for world record 2wd slash👀 got a 1717 1650kv in it paired with mamba monster x 8s Pushing 45 right now on 4s with conservative gearing 26/58

Yep. I can't remember what I went with but it's installed and ready to rip.

30/40 1650 kv 👌

You are so kind! I'm trying but don't think I'm there yet!

That chart shows the limitations. I can't remember what I said in the video but I do know that the smallest pinion with the largest spur gear is no where close to where this motor needs to be for the more typical setup. I believe the chart would show something like 32/39 as the largest ratio. That is 1.22:1, crazy !!!

@@RCexplained limitations, yes. Why did you print all these gears below 32T then? 39T spur gear matches to 32T-52T pinion gear. If the table would be wrong, ok. But wasting all this time to show the obvious? Easy result: use low Kv motors.

Are you suggesting to replace the $240 speed run motor for a lower Kv motor? Wouldn't getting the right gearing be a lot more sensible and cost effective? Not to mention high Kv motors such as the one going to be used are purposely designed for speed run cars.

@@RCexplained I would suggest to not waste 1/4 of your video to demonstrate the obvious AND THEN switch to "calculation" for the really working stuff. If you want to reuse your $240 speed run motor (oh, so expensive, you will never buy a new one, LOL), change to spur gear XYZ. And, since when are you forced to use 100% throttle??? Also, there is a reason why ARRMA designed it like this which you happily ignore.

Best motor mount in the game IMHO

yes, mount is different

This is really a personal preference based on your setup and running conditions.

I was suprised. I thought id be able to use the same gearing as my infraction but nope.

you fix the issue yet? did you check your TX ?

There really isn't much of an advantage in a CVT for what we do but it would be cool to see!

Mount on the V2 is changed. I used 8mm Mod1 pinions as spools. works well and will have to do this on the V2 as well.

I have a 42T on the V1. Will have a 44T or 45T on the V2. It's in the mail still.

I have the 46 t spool with a 27t pinion gear and I’m hitting 111 mph XLX2 and tp 4070 2200 kv motor 🎉 finding longer street still can do little bit more

I don't have the patreon Calc sheet up but that should be a fast setup. I also don't know how good that esc is. Never used one.

Hey Martin, if you download the manual from the website for the v2, pg 19 has a chart with specs that may help you out. At least you'll have more insight as to what size and gears are possible.

Do they make V2 parts already? I don't think different mounts are necessary. I can just swap gears and I'm good.

I just love my scorched mount. It’s a thing of beauty, just another level compared to other brands. Zero flex in the motor to the chassis and every time a perfect mesh without change after screwing it tight.

@@RCexplained You are right. V2 stock mount I can use between 22 to 43 tooth pinions using a 49 tooth 8mm pinion as a spur gear. 2200kv. Haven't tested but looking for a 100mph or so to start with. Thank you for your help.

Very nice!

I believe that beep code is excessive load. It detects this by current spikes. What theoretical speed are you geared for?

@@RCexplained I just used the chart that came in the box with the Limitless not sure what's going on...

Just need larger spool gears. We can get larger 8mm bore pinion gears to work.

Joe, I can only picture the snow flying in the air as my V2 Limitless clears a path!

@@RCexplained hahaha that would be awesome! Send it! Where are you located?

Toronto Area.

@@RCexplained I thought I heard a Canadian accent.

did the 1100kv motor fit>? i thought the 1100kv was 112mm long. thanks

@@1521joe I have the v2 version it fits

@@tktk-om8cg perfect thanks for the feedback.

@1521joe oh yeah, I, just updated to 2028 1700kv and it's stupid fast 130mph and barely did full throttle

Yep, swap out the spur gear as I've done in a later video

Did you find the newer videos I did of this car?

@@RCexplained I looked for a video of you running this car, but can't find it. I'm particularly interested in this build.

What values are you entering in?

Raz is a professional who sets up his vehicle perfect based on many factors. If the average top speed guy duplicates his efforts it can be successful. If not, it could be costly $$$

@@RCexplained Agreed, but imo you have (although I get your explaining the many factors involved and your teaching in a way) over complicated things. Your using a motor that comes with a disclaimer from Castle that, if anything goes boom you have no warranty! You could stick a MAX6 and a 1650 from Hobbywing and as you have just said "Raz who's a pro" be way safer and if anything goes boom your more than likely covered by warranty. You see so many Castle systems catching fire so if your making it safe for your average person with little knowledge of speed running surely it makes sense to go with a far less sensitive system that can handle mistakes or not?

I can't think of any advantage of a V2 over a V1 for what you plan to do with it. Either way, I'm sure you can plan a power system to do what you are looking for.

@@RCexplained I did some research and what I found is that if you get shafts from scorched rc, you can use the 50t center diff in the V2. I saw a video that was just wicked. I also watch their group live chat, and this is the real deal. I ordered the limitless V2 because of this one video! Why didn't you do an update video on this? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brCVeZCBmajeZIU.html

When you originally said diff, this threw me off. The Limitless does not use a center diff and as such I was thinking front/rear. Completely changing out the center spool drive seems like the most expensive option to put a weaker solution in there. I'm referring to MOD 0.8 pitched gearing. The shafts themselves will be strong. I did do an update video on this a week or two after the video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o8d-ecV417C4faM.html This solution will allow for a 45T pinion used as a spur gear. I have not tested anything larger. But as I said in my first message, I don't see how this (cheaper solution) would not work for you. Somewhere around 4s 1800Kv using 27/45 gearing should get you around 65mph top speed.

@@RCexplained And don't get me wrong, I respect your work. I just thought that all options would be on the table. I've learned that this hobby needs deep pockets to "do what you want". Although the gearing is "weaker" on mod 0.8, it should still get the job done. I've never stripped gears unless the motor moves. Titanium motor mount screws are mandatory on all builds. The option to tune the center diff would making cornering more pleasurable in my view. 24t pinion with a 50t center diff should be a tire smoking, drifting, hard accelerating monster. This is where we diverge on opinion. I'm also looking at designing a 3d printed bolt on floor to get high downforce without the drag with weather stripping side skirts. I don't know if you're into that, but when Arrma used the term "Limitless" I take that to heart.

Hello, voltage drop is considered, you must have missed it.

@@RCexplained That may be but your numbers are still off, I have this RC and I would love it to go past 200 mph but this is not easy and the difference in gearing between V1 and V2 is not a big deal and if it were the gears are cheap compared to a big block motor, ESC, batteries and the other small details that are required.

What are you entering in to the calculator? Send me a screenshot and I can help.

I don't believe raz has hit 200mph. James McCoy is the speedrun 👑 and he's hit 204mph a few times and in a much shorter distance than raz has

198 I think he’s hit or 199 . I know in one of his recent videos (last few months) he hit that high speed

@@Soilhalo77 yeah, it’s something up there around the 200 mark. 198? 200? 🤷🏻‍♂️ I know he didn’t make it past 200, that I know but what’s his best pass is up there somewhere between 197-200.🤷🏻‍♂️

@@hnic72 but there is a guy who actually broke the worlds record recently. I don’t know if his name is James McCoy. I just know that it was broken recently in the past several months.🤷🏻‍♂️💯🙂

Should work no mods

No... diff mount spacing is different on the V2 than the V1

It's not on the optional parts list for the V2 Limitless. It also looks like if it did work it would need to be altered as the V2 has an extended length center shaft. Take a look here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fsWJhceb1L7eaaM.html
