Running my 4s in the stadium again, this time I was able to give full thr with 4s. Although lipos didnt have all the juice in the pass-bys (forget other packs, trim steering, and crashed in first runs) :P

For the sake of ease to understand I stayed with 5m in the video. First for the starting and end points of measurement: yellow line was the start (with first bag), and the second bag was the finish (5m), but it wasnt perfect, camera didt capture. So, there is a blue line (look carefully) right before second bag, distance is 4.8m between lines, and she is almost touching it. So to be more precise and almost perfect: 5f/25fps=0.2s 4.8m/0.2s=24m/s 24m/s=86km/h=54mi/h

raw video: http://www.kargidesign.net/MOV01005.MPG

I wont do a speed run with this micro again, because she is not low and long enough, and I dont want to risk alu parts anymore. Will build a speed micro-dt.

Also I want to say thanks to bülent çavuşoğlu, the respected brother who help me shoot these videos in the hot summer afternoons. He owns a hobbyshop in Turkey, shipping worldwide, you may check-out vintage tamiya's, wooden kits and more: http://www.modelizmo.com

Stay tuned (subscribe) for 5s :)

This is the second upload of this video, becuase frame per second is not 24 but 25. sorry for that.

By the way, as we can see tamiya dyno's deviates more on high speeds, due to increasing air friction (she flies like in the first shot), dyno reading for this setup was above 62mph.

  • i have a micro t, 1025KW(i hopethats right) 3s lipo and everything else is stock but ive tryed all kinds of cluch figureations, but ive gone through 4 trannies. imnot going to buy another one untill i find a better solution so do you have a idea? thanks

  • @mightymainac be gentle on the throttle, increase the slip on slipper. Also you can get a aluminum gearbox and shim it. Thus reducing slop on spur, and possible slip on crown gears.

  • Dont be a pussy and try 5 cells! ... nah seriously that thing is one wicked little car. :D Howmuch did that whole setup cost you?

  • @SvenOkonomi I will put 5s to the exact setup, will kill 120 motor in minutes, but just curious. Before that I'll do 4s runs again with a more stable DT chassis and targeting a bushnell speedgun. BUT all that plans won't work in collage time, waiting for mid-january, midterm break. Alu parts cost about 200$, bling factor, not good for running. Other components are variable :P

  • Did u glue ur diff?

  • @nerdykid136 no. no need, since I have to be gentle on diffs anyways with 4s.

see all

  • is this stock?

  • get the desert truck chassis

  • man this car isn't suposed to go that fast lol haha :)

  • what motor

  • @kargidesign Hahah, 4s will balloon the tires, 5s will take em off. :P And yeah its hard choosing between looks and preformance on cars. you want it fast but also something nice to look at or its not worth it. :P Im subscribing to your channel, I wanna see this. ;)
