HPI E Firestorm at 102 km/h!

[RCMACSPEED]

Thats sick rolling road for rc great

[eagantv1]

the whees get zwolen up :P

[Tyrant482]

I Love This Car!

Where can i get a speedmeter like this?

Or what is it and what is the right Name for it?

It is a gerat Thing and Video. Thank's

[DigitalExplosives]

so cute, little dyno runs :P

[9569VLAD]

i don think that this storm can run 102km/h in real

because my storm with 120A esc + 800W 5800kv + 2s lipo + 25/87 can run only 75-80km/h

sorry about my english

[TheStealther]

@9569VLAD Vlad. they use a 3s Lipo. Which in this case gave the car 40 Kmh more. Try run a 11.1v. You'll be suprised.

[Mxclown]

it was whith standar motor and jus lipo battery?

[TheStealther]

@Mxclown Its a Hobbywing EzRun Brushless 9T combo with a 35A Esc. 11.1v battery LiPo

[SKYLINEman1996]

@TheStealther its actually the same as the FLUX version´s motor and ESC. EXACTLY the same motor and ESC

[phsycosniper8]

what battery is it i know its 11.1 volt but what make

[SKYLINEman1996]

huskede i, at når man putter en 3 celler Lipo i det EZRun sæt, så skal ESC´en jo have en kraftigere blæser på

[TheStealther]

@SKYLINEman1996 Den behøver det ikke hvis man kun kører i 10 sekunder. Heldigvis

[chsolti]

look the tiers

[phsycosniper8]

i got one of these coming il have to upload some video of it

[route66rocks]

is the first one stock?

[timmytom26978]

@route66rocks its the standard flux brushless system

[Tigerbarb202]

@timmytom26978 no its the exrun 9t.

[RC4LIF3]

its not though as a dyno does not include aero dynamics its more like 45 probably...

[DarthWater7]

@RC4LIF3 Aerodynamics has minimal effect on RC ground vehicles. Only with a STRONG HEADWIND would it decrease the car speed by no more than 5mph.

[NuffNuffJM]

ive had a 3s 11.v on my firestorm flux, windy day it'll back flip as soon as you go over 90kph, if you let off the throttle and hit it again at high speed it will back flip too as the tyres shrink

[DJpikkupiru]

I yesterday were driving on road with my converted firestorm, people lil bit watche me like: WtF is that guy doing??

Btw, topnspeed was 78km/h, limit on that road was 40. ;D

[pudresful]

batteries cells?

[xXrCrusHeRXx]

thats 63.3798616 mph

[sincitystealth]

haha the tires are expanding when they heat up on that hella power and torque

[Shellshocker92]

I had to make a metal plate to keep my bulkhead safe and its really thick metal so it keeps it down and damn wen all dat torque stay on the ground that damn thing takes da fuck off

[dealwithit00000]

lol, once wind and ground resistance on the front tires kicks in im sure it won't go over 85 in real life situations. those ballooning rear tires are also acting like a cvt transmission which is helping the top speed even more. never seen one on a dyno before :D

[geist63]

@dealwithit00000 wanna make a bet i had a firestorm with a mamba max with a 5700 kv motor 19t pinion 3s lipo it would blow the doors of a baja ss that had a 29cc upgrade and a big tuned pipe that had been radar tested at 90klmph the guy was not happy

[teamlawless17]

@geist63 I have a firestorm with the mmamba max 3s 23 t pinion I eat nitros for breakfast

[TheyDontWantMusic]

@dealwithit00000

110kph on road is about the limit, with added weight as well.

I know, because I've had mine upto 107kph actually on the road, with a GPS strapped to it.

[alkaline62]

could i use 11,1 volt with hpi e10 with this set?

[teamlawless17]

@alkaline62 no



[SuperAiden101]

i couldnow see taht motor exploding in the last test lol

[pinoyeh]

Take it to the open flat road/track and use a radar gun, you can still beat the 102 kph, if you can control your firestorm at that speed.....otherwise, your video is too subjective.

[TheyDontWantMusic]

@pinoyeh

my latest onroad tests with my firestorm clocked in at 107kph.

can you control it? no, will it do more? yes, if I can keep the front end down!

[TheyDontWantMusic]

Mines faster :) and actually on road, not some stupid dyno that is nothing like real world conditions.

I win!

[sweir127]

Hi do u have to chang the fan if you use 3c lipo

[cannon8800]

@sweir127 yes you do or else it will fry the poor little fan.

[nvtuning]

nice dyno

[danspratt2]

surely the dyno is providing simulated ristance against air? its not like zero friction... otherwise it wouldnt slow down again :P

[MRAlrounder]

expensive battery there

[bjRnSter]

kinda lame on a dyno -.-

[AV3NG3R00]

That's fair enough, sure the wheels are going at 102 km/h, but during proper use you're spending half of the energy trying to push air out of the way.

[nitrokid99]

@AV3NG3R00 what? lol you honestly think something that small will have that much wind reduction i dought it

[AV3NG3R00]

@nitrokid99

You have a bit more to learn on fluid dynamics. Fluid dynamics is relative, like most other things in engineering. The air resistance is considerable when compared to the amount of power the motor puts out.

I guarantee you that the car will not do 102 km/h on the road.

[shockflyyer3d]

yeh one that thers a diffrence on the road.

[reanimate280]

hah thats is an awesome lil dyno set up...is it specifically designed for rc car or was it for something else....super cool

[discohunter12]

damn, that thing screams on the 11.1v

[Hirthirthirt]

Damned a RC-Car-Dyne, where did you buy that thing? ; )

[brushless55]

where did you get the rollers?

[chris746568462]

@brushless55

It looks like an rcdynosystems one, they start at $1600.

[MsHbX]

this is the fastest electric rc car what i know . COOL

[bakerboy123321]

haha the tires get bigger!

[street58cars]

Hey i wonder how manny tooths are the spur in this video? Btw awsome car =P

[popcornreviews]

mega balloning on the 3 cell!

[Pajenczak0]

my mini are balloning too.

[mjuj]

AAAAAAALT for fed :P

[laczekwood]

SKAL BARE SÅ MEGET HA' EN FIRESTORM !

[maggiCK123]

husk det er motoren og batteriet der gør den køre så hurtigt .. :D

[laczekwood]

Ved det har selv lige købt en med Ezrun 9t 2v og 2s lipo den er satme hurtig! xD

[crosstiger222]

can we see it on the streets plz

very cool

[Oneiva]

It wouldn't go that fats on the road?

[AR71X]

No,

air resistance.

[G4tm4st4]

Very nice.. Can you test it with a 6cells ni-mh battery?

[DarthWater7]

lol i got a blue one....I love it how when at top speed it seems like the tires inflate

[Kartmofo]

lovin the dyno,how much does 1 of those run?
