@brainiac9579 3 жыл бұрын

This brings me WAY back in time! Thank you so much! True, RC cars have changed quite a bit through time. But, You should lower it down with in shock spacers so air will not make it fly at over 80mph. That was an issue we were having, when chasing speed, and how we got around it. Also, get as tall a pinion as you can, the smoother the acceleration, the less likely it you'll crash it. you're also on the right track using the smallest battery you can, with the highest voltage you can (more S is better, but less footprint). Same for foam tires: rubber, as you've shown, won't hold. Have fun reaching 100mph, now!

Like the change up! I love tinkering with stuff too! Once you start messing with mini quads (drones) it's hard to stop! My son is finally getting old enough to enjoy it as well so it makes it that much better.

I tried the whole FPV drone thing for a little bit. It ended up involving a whole lot of crashing and breaking stuff. It was a LOT of fun, but I ended up giving it up because it was starting to cost way too much too constantly replace parts. This was even with just little 2S and 3S kwads. Then there was all the tuning that went into it also. I've been looking at cars and have just been skeptical of how good they might be. Now that I've seen this, I could see doing exactly what you did here. Great video!

G'day Brian, That was so cool, those Rubber Road Tires on the blue Rims were 'Tearable' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 WOW! all my RC stuff is older Fun Tamiya Cars & Trucks with High Detail Bodies, but I also have some TRF Racing Chassis, I have never played with Li-Po Batteries, Brushless Motors & Controllers, the most advanced I got was having a Speed Controller that came with a handheld unit so you could adjust the Settings like mapping the Power Curve, really handy for Front Wheel Drive Racing. I gave up racing as it was just getting frustrating that people were constantly complaining I was cheating because with my FWD I was able to compete with their 4WD Touring Cars, apparently a 4WD must be twice as fast as a 2WD with the same engine, I can't beat you so I will do everything I can to get rid of you.

I saw the car in one of your other videos and was curious. I used to be really into racing 1/8th scale nitro cars. Save yourself a bunch of time and just put the bigger battery in there. More power is the best way to add speed. Most brushless motors are all relatively overpowered and the primary difference if whether they make more torque or rpm so gearing can overcome most any difference.
