Juggernaut jims Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Why not just buy a 1/8 touring car stick a 2000kv motor with massive gearing on 6s on foams and I'm pretty sure it would reach it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arogon1235 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 i find it easier to use 1/10th atm but when i want to get into the really high speeds i will switch over to 1/8th and run 8s to 10s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R46 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 you've gone for a narrower chassis an remained with belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R46 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 good luck! if i where to start a speedy project got tc4 racer knocking about for base an 4s max shall run, I feel using more volts 5/6s is easy route tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Griffin Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Why not use a buggy chassis. Remove the centre diff, mount the motor in the centre with direct shaft drive to the rear diff. It'd be just like using a 48t pinion onto a 48t spur. 1:1 gearing. Just an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabbagey Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Why did you stick with belt? I think I know where this is going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arogon1235 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Why did you stick with belt? I think I know where this is going because belt is alot easier to maintain and work on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R46 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) because belt is alot easier to maintain and work on are you sure on that can replace both diffs an centre shaft on my tc4 far quickier than replacing my xray t2 009 belts Edited June 29, 2013 by R46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arogon1235 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) i do find it is easier to work on a belt car though think im the only one here that thinks that Edited June 29, 2013 by arogon1235 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabbagey Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 But the car finds it easier to break mid speed run with belts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 i cant see this going anywhere close to 100mph to be honest, belts wont be able to stand the speed. need a car with shafts and metal bits n moar lip0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R46 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) not keen on belt for high speed just me, each to their own tbh, tc5(belt) 6s tc4 3.5t 2s or 3s 90 mph Edited June 29, 2013 by R46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 You should change the title to "speed project mk2 50mph+" lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I never understood the attraction of trying to get 100mph out of a RC Car, just doesnt float my boat, guess im too much of a racer at heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Coe Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Nic Case built speed run cars out of both a belt drive Schumacher and a shaft drive Associated so if you know what you are doing both types are up to the job. But its that 'if you know what you are doing' part. I can't really see how the Mi4 is any better than the Mi1 for this purpose but never mind. Its a nice car to work with.

But its that 'if you know what you are doing' part. I can't really see how the Mi4 is any better than the Mi1 for this purpose but never mind. Its a nice car to work with. the mi4 imo has a better layout and it just feels much more stronger than the mi1 also i didn't like the way the front belt was driven by the rear diff on the mi1 also for people saying the belts will break at high speed well its not likley they will break because people have used the stock belts and they have gone past 100mph its the acceleration that usally kills the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arogon1235 Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) trying to get the car to go straight starting to annoy me could it be im running a analog servo as i seem to remember they cant really remember there position Edited June 30, 2013 by arogon1235 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthoop Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Ensure all of the wheels are pointing in the same direction and nothing is binding or has too much freeplay....oh and turn down the amount of steering you have.....if it all checks out then you are miissng something even more basic..... It is always easier to diagnose a problem first hand....you are right there....think it through in steps...by power of deduction the answer should become apparent...good luck.
