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!

I gutted my very broken Big Rock 3s and threw on the electronics, bumpers, wheelie bar, tires and body mounts and now have a very fast 50's Chevy Gorgon. Good times.

@johnjacob8919 Месяц назад

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

@CCOW1776 Месяц назад

Have you thought of using belted/smaller tires on the front with the stock tires on the back. The front would, theoretically stay low but the back would balloon, effectively raising the gear ratio but possibly still aiding aerodynamics and keep the front on the ground. This might help with speed runs.

@wordreet Месяц назад

It does seem tough, which is no bad thing! But obviously it needs lowering, and summat like a front spoiler.

@madanotsob Месяц назад

I know Harley designs and scaled Builders guild had you do a build off with them and their rules. I think you should do the same with this truck. Invite all the RU-vidrs you can and set your rules. I think the Gorgon is cheap enough to have some fun with if you're creative. You've already proven it can handle speed pretty well.

@TomleyRC Месяц назад

Yeah, that would be quite fun

@ScaleRacingChannel Месяц назад

love your vids phil. I've got some know how from this one cheers. my monster beetle, with mad van body on to make it less top heavy goes about 45mph on 3s. thats using the esc and motor from the mad van too. crazy rear wheel drive driving. ORV chassis holding up un believably well.

@nicodindon7477 Месяц назад

@TomleyRC Месяц назад

I think the all metal gears are always going to be loud. Some good grease would help a little

@boduke9428 Месяц назад

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.

just the right amount of weight put on the front end of chassis , and a higher amperage ESC , you will then get 60+ easy , for just straight line maximum speed anyway .

Honestly if i won this id put a brushed setup in the gorgon and put that castle combo in my tt02 speed runner. Only had a 3s 3500kv in it so far. I bet 7700kv would really wake it up

@NathanStorer-RC Месяц назад

Just insane how fast it can go on just a 2 cell. I'd imagine, if you could keep it down, it'd probably hit near 70 on 3s.

@TomleyRC Месяц назад

Yes, 70 for sure.... the 2s run was so clean. I'm sure the hard tail wind helped a lot

@Maxinator_RC Месяц назад

Nice vid, Phil! Btw congrats with beating Kev's Gorgon speed record! :D (53mph) Maybe I have some solutions to make gorgon stay on the floor: what if you put some heavy wheels on its front to get more weight there and put a giant long wheelie bar like in a drag car?😁

Is there an idiot guide to brushless motors some where I can buy.??? this kv and voltage confuses me I'm old raised on brushed motors 😂 now i really do wished I took electricity in trade school.

@DaveSaysYesh Месяц назад

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.

@mattinacave1947 Месяц назад

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.
