This is my 6th attempt at a top speed test for the @poorboysrc Tamiya TT01 / TT02 Speed Challenge 2023, many thanks to Fil for arranging a competition again this year. There are now 2 classes in this competition, one for brushless 2 & 3S LiPo cars and the one I'm entering, brushed motors and 7.2v NiMh batteries.
In this video I run the LRP V10 Spec.6, 14x2T brushed motor and raised gearing of 27/64, will it go faster than my previous 31mph on the same motor? I also try out a new 2000mAh battery kindly donated by Steve @rccrawlersmid-wales645 , if you haven't already, pop over and take a look at his stunning videos! But will the new battery out-perform my old Awanfi 3600mAh NiMh?!?!?!
Many thanks to my mate Rob @robbrennanrc for the help and filming of this speed run attempt. No squirrels were harmed in the making of this video...

Congrats, that's an awesome result. I like your mascot, too😂

@MarkBryanRC 11 месяцев назад

Awesome! Thank you, Dirk! I think we might be seeing more of that little creature! 😅👍

@NordicRC 11 месяцев назад

Hi Mark! That’s a fast TT (and cute squirrel). Yeah, with that gearing I would have expected a bit more too. Hmm. Must be the batteries not providing enough amps and voltage for the motor? If you can get hold of a 7 cell high mah it would probably do the trick … or maybe just burn the motor 🙃 Anyway. 55 kph is very very respectable !

@MarkBryanRC 11 месяцев назад

Hello Mikael! Yeah, not too shabby for a TT02, stock(ish) chassis! Everyone was talking about the squirrel we nearly ran over last year, so Rob thought he'd get one that we couldn't hurt!!! 😅 Yeah I think the batteries are holding me back a little - I have a 7 cell coming! We will se how good this motor is! Cheers my mate! 🤗💙👍

@AdventureTimeRC 11 месяцев назад

Good stuff Mark batteries and connections make a huge difference in my experience I have seen huge improvements to rc cars and planes just by batteries and connections large enough to deliver the power 34 is a great brushed speed

@MarkBryanRC 11 месяцев назад

Hey Brent thanks for sharing your thoughts on this! 😊 I think we agree on this subject my friend, I need to look at those crappy Tamiya connections I'm using 😅 All the best, dude!

@madsrcbuggy 11 месяцев назад

Ah, ha ha, the squirrel! Great run again, Mark! Some sort of steering issue but once you got it sorted it ran straight and true, very nice! Yeah, I agree, the battery is really essential for a good run, like you just proved here also. Of course with bigger capacity comes greater weight, but it seems the power helps with that... "Tooth", ha ha, I have to admit, I got tooth and turn mixed up a few times, too... I have a 27 and a 29 tooth pinion also, ready for next runs... Have a great weekend there, my friend!

@MarkBryanRC 11 месяцев назад

Hello Mads! Yeah we just had to use the squirrel in my videos as well as Rob's! The steering issue was caused by the trim setting getting knocked in the RC bag! Should have checked it before doing the run! Yeah I think I got the chassis sorted now and it goes in a straight line most of the time now! As for weight, that will not affect top speed, only acceleration! So put in the fattest battery you can! Tooth and turns, what am I like? I blame my age! 60 next month! 😬🤫😅

@poorboysrc 11 месяцев назад

Ahhhhhahahaha!!! The squirrel strikes again! So funny!!! Too bad the new battery didn't pan out as hoped. Hopefully a higher mah pack will get you into the 40's! 💨💨💨

@MarkBryanRC 11 месяцев назад

Hahaha! Yes, Fil, I think this squirrel will be a permanent fixture, thanks to you! But yeah, it was worth a go with the new battery, the old one came good though! I'm going for a 7 cell pack next, it's gotta work for me, fingers crossed! Cheers brother! 🙏😎👍

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

You guys are killing me with the squirrels! LOL!! I am looking all over the place now for them! Glad you got a but more speed out of it and 34 is good for the gearing you got in there! Keep feeding it gears! LOL! I just came up from swapping the brushed motor back in mine and I managed to cram in a slightly larger pinon in mine again (bigger than the 42 that was in there!). I am surprised I was able to fit it in there so one last run with Ricky and the new 15t Reedy Radon brushed motor will be coming soon!

@MarkBryanRC 11 месяцев назад

Haha 😄 🤣 sorry about all the squirrels, mate, it's Rob's fault, honestly 🤣 Yeah another improvement but you know I want more ... I still got a few tricks up my sleeve though! Good luck with that 15t motor, boy, you are pulling some gearing ⚙ there! All the best 👍 👌

@PeteWylieRC 11 месяцев назад

Hiya mate. Hey that's a decent result. I'm thinking that I haven't got any more ideas when it comes to brushed and NiMH. Just gear it up as much as you can until the motor can't cope. Loving the squirrel making an appearance. I think it should be your channel mascot. Anyway no new speed runs from me this week. Being a bank holiday in Bournemouth I expect all the car parks will be full and the camp site road will be busy. Still plenty of time and really we don't stand a chance in the contest so it's just for the jolly banter. I've got a pint on the go to see in the bank holiday so cheers to you and all the speed run boys 😁🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

@MarkBryanRC 11 месяцев назад

Hi there my mate Pete! Yeah, 3mph more by going up 5 teeth is OK but I really was hoping for 5mph more! I was worried when there was no speed increase on the 1st battery. Anyway I still have a few dice to roll. Hope you get chance to get another few runs un soon, but by the sound of it you'll be better off waiting a few days. Enjoy the long weekend and all that beer! Best 👌 to you matey! 😁👊👍

@ShenRC 11 месяцев назад

I learned over the years Mark it's not the more milliamp hours that makes the pack better it's all about the quality of the cells they use in it. and back when there was no lipo packs they used to make really good nimh cell packs now nobody does and they are mostly made from cheap cells, The traxxas nimh packs If I recall where good but they are only 3000mah.@@MarkBryanRC

@barrycheesemore2928 11 месяцев назад

34mph is pretty good! I'm pretty sure the mAh of the battery will make some difference, but so will the discharge rate, if your discharge rate is higher then you'll get more 'oomph' as it were....

@tiborvon 11 месяцев назад

Batteries defo make a difference. We have noticed the difference massively whilst doing all our speed runs, but all our batteries have been LIPO. What i find bizzare in this test though, is the fact that you would think a lover MAH battery, would be lighter and therefore the car be faster 🤷‍♂️

@MarkBryanRC 11 месяцев назад

Thanks, Tibs! Seems like the answer is pretty unanimous, thanks for sharing your experiences, too. I don't think weight has much effect on top speed though mate, but it would certainly affect acceleration and braking! Cheers, buddy!

@peteuncle2935 11 месяцев назад

Higher MaH batteries do allow more current and therefore power under load, if they have the same discharge rating. Let's say A 2000mah 20c discharge battery can supply 40A of power. A 3600 20c discharge can supply 72 amps. You need higher current to supply the power without voltage drop, when using geared up, high power motor combinations. That's why lipo batteries are so good, they can supply much more current, sometimes over 100c rated, which means much less voltage drop under load and more speed and more power.

@MarkBryanRC 11 месяцев назад

Hi Pete and many thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! Yeah that makes a lot of sense to me! I need more power (said like Jeremy Clarkson!!!) 👍 It would be a lot easier in the brushless/ lipo class as those batteries are much more reliable in terms of current supply! Thanks again! ☺ 👊👍

@peteuncle2935 11 месяцев назад

@@MarkBryanRC i have put a wattsup meter on one of my brushed Tamiya cars, and under full load it was drawing nearly 80amps from memory. Probably way more than a 2000mah NiMH could deliver for any sustained time, like a speed run for example. A high discharge 5000 NiMH would be much better if your can find one if that's the way you want to go.

Not at all mate! Hi Steve and thanks again for the batteries, they will definitely be put to good use. I wonder if it's because they are so new, they need a few charging cycles? I ran the 1800 NiMh you sent in my Agrios TXT2 and it performed way better than expected and the run time was also good. Maybe I should have used that in my test? I just went for the most mAh. Anyway, it was worth a try and interesting all the same! Cheers mate, enjoy the long weekend! 😎🙏👍
