fraggs Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hi Dan, I also have a Hyper7 (brushless) and I have 2 rallies , Ken block and a Mustang, the Ken block is standard running lipo's on 2s on a good day it will reach around 25mph and with 3s it will top out at around 45-50mph, the Mustang has lots of upgrades and also has the Big block conversion (540 motor) and that gets to around 55-60mph on 3s, on tarmac the rally will keep up to the hyper with no problems but on the dirt the Hyper wins out being bigger and built for the rough stuff. If you want to know anything about the rallies drop me a pm mate be glad to answer any queries you have if I can. regards Stu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-z-awd Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 the rally will get upto its top speed more quicky than the 7 would. but actual speed wise the 7 would would beat it in a straight line if your using nimh. if you go lipo they would be about the same speed depending on what size lipo you go for either 2s or 3s and gearing you use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mini-z-awd Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) thanks guys, iv pmd you fraggs. i know ill get more speed with lipos but to be honest i want simplicity to start of and the nimh batteries i can just buy 2 and another wall charger and job done no discharge and other stuff that comes with lipos.all i wanted to know was will it be nitro car speed with 2 nimh batteries? dan if you run them in series then it would be close for the first 20 or so feet but then the nitro would pull away as the nitro engine would be building up its revs to the point of it catching the nimh car. as they would be using there power more to get upto its top speed. this should give you a rough idea watch from 1.06mins Edited August 19, 2012 by mini-z-awd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
