HPI Savage Flux XL 66.5mph speed run update (2)

Trying out hpi's 39T highspeed idler gear on 6S power. I think that with the right tires 70mph is an easy target. Above 60 these badlands just dont hang. I'll run it again soon with the phaltlines and see how they handle it. I was able to run this truck wide open for the first time the other day when it hit 62. With this gear I'm right back where I started....Still looking for the top end. .

your really homo

@ebotos LOL

[MrSpinalColumn]

And its not at all possible that the top speed was in fact posted while the wheels werent even touching the ground? And that it was just the wheels free spinning?

[jssouthtx]

@MrSpinalColumn No, Not at all possible since the gps device measuring the speed is not connected to the wheels, axles, or driveline in any other way than the tie-wrap used to hold it to the vehicle.

I used a pair of 4000 mah 3S lipos. The 2200 u c is for short burst speedruns. As for the esc. With batteries installed therez not anywhere else to stuff it. It could possibly go in the front of the chassis but wiring would need to be lengthened

@Templar443 no nothing is more sturdy then the savage

[TheRemoteMower]

40 would be fine for me - 60 would certainly end in pieces if I were driving it lol

[jssouthtx]

@TheLionRichard I would say no... not at all. But you're comparing apples to oranges. Slash is a 1/10 scale track truck desinged to race, and the savage flux is a 1/8 scale monster truck desinged to bash. Both are really fast. It depends on what you're gonna do with it. Race at track= Slash. Race ANYWHERE= savage flux
