This is Part 2 of the Crazy Brushless Arrma Gorgon RC Car. This time I go for almost 100,000 RPM with the motor and see if I can improve on the Crazy Fast 2s Speed! Not the Worlds Fastest RC Car, but good fun all the same!

Oh and if you get a set of nerf bars for a team associated sc10, and flip them upside-down and backwards, they fit perfectly on the side of the gorgon and the body slides into the part that clups onto the sc10 chassis, and holds the body from pushing inside and getting stuck

The Gorgon is just fun. Mines only 100amp/4000kv and it's serious stupid on 3s but near drivable on 2s. I also used the Hot Racing motor mount and crammed the biggest pinion i could in there. Wanna say it's 19t. I'm still running the stock plastic spur with no issues. Aside from the body all I've broken is the wheelie bar lower mounts. As crazy as it sounds the Gorgon handles better and rolls less on grass than the Omni Terminator. And it's considerably faster.

@DaveSaysYesh 9 күн бұрын

The kv rating on motors stands for rpm per volt. Main aim when choosing setup is that you don't exceed max rpm rating of motor. For e.g. your motor may be rated 50k rpm. You wanna run 3s let's say. (12.6v fully charged) so 50k divide 12.6 = 3968. That's the max motor kv you can use obviously you would give it some tolerance so around 3500kv max. 3s lipo =12.6v x 3500kv = 44100 rpm.

There's something I've been a little confused about lately. Why are wheelie bars on new rc cars (from what I've seen at least) so short? I have a +10 year old Stampede (Traxxas I know eww) that was my very first hobby grade rc car, and it has a wheelie bar that extends maybe a good couple inches from the body(can't find my tape measure or else I would have an exact length) which completely prevents it from rolling over backwards. It may help that the top speed on it is 40mph, but I see a lot of new bashers with very stubby looking wheelie bars (sometimes tucked away under the body), and a lot of times those cars still roll over backwards, even ones with comparable speed to mine. Idk maybe it's just my imagination.
