Apologies about the wind noise, I need to get a dead-cat for this camera! The first (measured) speed run was a little bit of a letdown but I didn’t break anything, and I have plenty of options to continue on with but we are switching to brushless and seeing what we can do next!

Great baseline run, Addam. I love that body, dude. Make Ricky proud!!! 💨💨💨

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Fil! It was a good test and I am glad I found the range issue before going warp speed. I did stick in a larger pinion I got in the mail yesterday evening and took it back out, it did better and I'll post that tomorrow. I also stuck in the brushless system and holy smokes.... sketchy sounding on the bench! On a storage charged 2s it sounded almost twice as fast! I am sure it is not but man those runs are gonna have some pucker factor to them!!

@HaydadRC 11 месяцев назад

I’d say 31 is darn good for a 17t motor and 7 cell nimh, plus that body is just awesome! Oh….and your wife is awesome for helping and supporting your love of the hobby!👍😊

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

It is and it was just I had an idea in my head of mid to upper 30s from it so the 31 was a "that's it?" moment! There is much more motor and much more gearing to go so it is just a start! My wife is a saint for putting up with my nonsense and she enjoys seeing me happy with it.. and giving me grief about it! LOL!

Heck yeah! Trying to get fast! Gonna swap in the brushless and see what we can do and then to the bigger brushless and see if it will take flight or not! I am hoping for over 70 but we will see!

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Larry! I have the brushed 15t motor in it now and was able to stuff some larger gearing in it so I am hopeful Ricky has one last fast run in him to get above 35. I will get back out there with him one night this week and get that final run in with him!

@ShenRC 11 месяцев назад

good runs, brushed.... that's exactly why nitro was king back in the day when they did not have brushless, I remember my nitro HPI road cars with the two speeds hitting like 50mph! can't wait to see what the brushless gets.

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

Very true! It was a decent start to the measured runs, I just had a higher number in my head for the 7 cell run but I didn't break anything and lot more stuff to try with it to make it faster so all is well!

@rcuintheshed6981 11 месяцев назад

Nice run Addam 31.1 with a brushed motor car handled the run well that's a great start plus it looks amazing 👊

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Mark! It drove well and overall a great test. I found the range issue before we got going too fast and smashed into anything! I had a faster number in my head so the 31 was a little deflating at the time but considering the stock speed of this thing it is great increase in speed! On to the brushless systems and we can come back tot he brushed and play around if the car survives the brushless runs!

@AdventureTimeRC 11 месяцев назад

Nice run Addam respectable speed before you start crying 😂😂

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

LOL! I have not seen anyone run a 7 cell pack so I just wanting to make sure everyone was aware it was perfectly legal and I was not trying to cheat or anything. It was a good run but I had a higher number in my head for it so it was not what I had hoped for. I have a 15 Radon motor on the way and some pinions that look like spur gears on their way too! Either gonna go fast or make smoke! LOL!

@PeteWylieRC 11 месяцев назад

Hey a great result for brushed Addam! I still need to look out that movie with Ricky Bobby. Funnily enough a couple of the RC chaps were talking about it today and not related to this contest. Presumably that is your missus helping out with the videoing so well done to her too. Good luck with the brushless contest my friend 😁👍

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Pete! It was a great test and I am glad I found the range issue before cranking up the speed! I got the brushless in there today and will get that out soon, it sounds crazy on the bench! I did stick in a larger pinion I got in the mail yesterday after this was recorded and went back out with the brushed motor and got a better speed. That will be up tomorrow.

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Mark! It was a good run overall, I found the range issue which good to find now and not at 50mph! I did make another run with it today with the brushed motor in it and got the speed up some more so i am happier with that rune. I will probably post that one tomorrow. I did swap in the Castle brushless system and it really sounds sketchy fast now and that was on a storage charged 2s, it is gonna be bonkers on 3s!!! The range issue was my fault, I had the antenna laid down so low, I stuck it straight up and it ran fine today. I am not used to needing range, I am usually within 50 feet of them at all times! Take care my friend!

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! I had a higher number in my head so I was a bit deflated but it was a good first run! Thankfully I found the range issue before going really fast so that was a plus! I was going to just use rubber band for the battery holder but I found strip of thin aluminum in the garage so I made on real fast for it. Ricky Bobby does wanna go fast but we will see what the brushless runs are like, I may have to swap in the junker body to save Ricky for another day and not shred that pretty body all up! My wife is great to come out and help with this, she does pretty good on the camera. It was very hard to see anything on the display screen so she did great! Take care guys and hopefully the next run is a bit quicker!

Yeah, man, what a nice run! Nice number and for me more importantly, your car handled really nice! Looks like it's going alright with that giant body on it, I think you'll be fine to hammer some more power into it! One thing I was thinking, park your truck next to that other car next time, then you got more clear space on that parking lot... Easy enough to say afterwards, ha ha!

I have two different brushless motor to try, one is a Castle 4700kv with a sidewinder ESC. The other is Hobbywing system, I don't remember the kv, it is slower but gobs of grunt. I think the Castle will be the best best. I stuck it in this afternoon and it seems ridiculous on the storage charged 2s pack!! Lord know what it will be like on 3s!!

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

It was a good test run and I am glad that I discovered the range issue before going much faster! I did end up sticking a larger pinion into it last night, the new ones showed up, so I went out again today brushed and got the speed I thought i would get with this setup. Afterwards I can home and swapped the brushless into it. On a storage charge 2s pack it feels like it almost doubled in speed so those runs are gonna be a little less relaxed! Especially on 3s!! LOL! Todays run will be out tomorrow. The brushless runs later next week probably. Take care!

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

Thanks! I have dine my brushless runs now and yes, it gets much sketchier really fast! The 2s run was not bad but the 3s run really was tense! Thankfully it went well. I have the 2 degree rear hubs on it from yeah racing which I think help a lot and then I went through and shimmed up all the suspension to get rid of as much play as I could. Lastly I turned the steering rate wayyyyy down. I think it is set to like 35% and I also added in exponential into the steering as well to make the small inputs as small an slow as possible to prevent the jerky motions when going super fast. Hopefully some of that may help you out but it is going to be touchy anyways!

It did pick up a few more mph! I will get that up for tomorrow.

@JF-RC 11 месяцев назад

Hi there Addam, 31mph is very respectable for a brushed setup. I was wondering if you could have got more using LiPo, as the 7 cell packs would have increased weight in the car. Oh, got to get that aerial sorted, cannot have that interrupting your speed runs. The car looks great 😊😊best wishes to you and the family 😊😊

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

Thanks John! I could get more with the lipo but there are two classes this year for the competition. One is for brushed motors and nicad and nimh packs only and the other is a run whatever you want. That second one is where the brushless and lipo come to play! Brice at Jack-O-Trades has been running the brushed with lipo just for fun and he knows only count in the second class but i think he hit 71mph with a rushed motor which is insane! I did get the aerial stood up and I swapped out the bodies to preserve the really nice one just in case these upcoming brushless runs don't go so well!

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

Yeah for some reason I had about 38 in my head so when it was only 31 I was a little bummed but for a first go with it it went well. I am waiting on the the new 15 turn motor to show up and meanwhile I'll toss in the brushless and give it a go to see what can be done there. I do need to sort out the range issue though! I think these are geared really low stock for small tight track racing and were never intended to go this fast. With the upgraded center prop shaft it is much better at speeds I am not worried about the diffs but I am a little worried about the stock axles and drive cups. Not sure how well they are going to appreciate the abuse they are about to see.

Your car looks great. I run in Tamiya TT class at my local parking lot series. We have to use a 27T Holmes Hobby brushed motor and a fixed gearing. I found the 1060 to be slow as compared to some of the other cars. My friends are running the old Tamiya ESC's and they are faster. We are running lipos. Brushless is the way to go in my opinion. But, I don't know the rules of the competition.

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

Hey Michael! The rules are run with brushed and nicad/nimh in one class and whatever you can stuff into it in the other class (brushless and as much power as you would like! I never though the ESC may be limiting it. The gearing on these is much lower than I expected but it makes sense for smaller short track running. Nobody at Tamiya thought we would be pushing them to crazy speeds (well trying to at least!

@RDsRCReviews 11 месяцев назад

31mpg is not a bad speed at all for because on nimh. Looking forward to the brushless with lipo test. I think 70mph + should be no problem depending the size of the lipo. That GPS speed reader is that? Looks similar to a Meilun. Praying it isn't because many people including myself could never get consistent accurate readings from them on RC cars.

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

It was a good start, glad I found out I need to stick the antenna up more so I don't lose signal and I can toss in taller gearing too. I think that is the brand of it, not 100% sure but it something like that. I checked it on the way there in the truck and seemed to be in tune with the truck. if it is off a little it is not that big of a deal. I am in it for the fun and not the prizes!

@@jemshobbies I have called it quits (I'm 98% sure). I feel like I have pushed my lunch enough and I got it about as fast as it'll go with what I have.

I thought 31 was a good result from a brushed set up, i was going to go brushless if i had the time, have a few sets laying around 😂

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

It was a good run, I just had a higher number in my head so the 31 was a bit deflating but overall a solid test! I was able to figure there is a range issue before going super fast and smashing into something, so that was a valuable lesson! There is plenty of time left so I am going to go brushless now and come back to the brushed after I think, I a still wafting for the brushed motor.

🙋‍♂️I wanna go fast

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

LOL! Me too! It is harder than it seems but the big gearing was a good boost. I came home after this and stuck in Castle brushless system and when I hit the throttle on the bench I got scared! On a storage charged 2s pack it sounded sketchy fast! I will find out hopefully tomorrow afternoon.

LOL! Yes, Ricky looks goos out there but needed some more gearing! I did not know it was going to be so hard to make them go fast! I thought some gearing and hold on to it but it is a really slow car by default!

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

Hi John. It is from the movie Talladega Nights, it is the car Ricky Bobby drives at the end of the movie when he did not have a car sponsor. I am sucker for goofy stuff like that and once the speed run challenge was announce I knew I had to make it this theme!

31mph is still pretty good Addam on a 17T pal. What gearing was in there bud?

@AddamsPlayground 11 месяцев назад

Yeah it was not bad for a first go but I was hoping for a but closer to 40! I have a 64t spur and I a 28 or 29t pinion. I have larger ones coming though! dang things look like spur gears! LOL!
