NG15 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 30mph is crap I agree, but a 30mph 80cm long truck that weights 10kg+ Jumping and flying through the air is cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it is, the yanks are fitting 18t pinnys and the speed is then 40+, I think it's got very conservative gearing to protect the esc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Somewhere around 40-45 is good speed for something this size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG15 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I was only joking it was just a pointless statement about your dbxl doing 50+ . There are videos of these doing that same kinda speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 They are similar sized and tbh 45-50 never looked that fast, 30 must look painfully slow 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG15 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Yup I also agree, however anyone who bought an xmaxx for top speed and driving round flat open spaces bought the wrong model IMO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Tweak it up to 40 and all will be well in the world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all about the type of running u do and the space u have to run in. Mood u r bashing in the woods like on those vids w trees and obstacles all about 30 ish I'm guessing is plenty. It's short , sharp bursts of acceleration that u want. If u like speed runs on Tarmac then yes 30 is not going to be enough. But who buys an Xmaxx for that?? If u have then obviously u r going to mod it a fair bit to be any good a high speed.... And a motor and esc will have to be part of that I'd say. I run 6s and a big motor in my mugen mbx5t... Not for its 40+ mph top Wack but for that acceleration and power... For backflips and a rush. Im a motorcyclist and it goes back to all that sports bike bs... ( I've had a tl1000s so I know what big power on a motorcycle is plus loads 20+ bikes of different types and sizes)..."ive gone 160mph"... Big deal!!!! Any1 can get on the motorway , duck down and pin the throttle.... It's just a number that means nothing... Now on a track day power is good and I loved my cbr600 on track for knee down madness... And taking apart those guys in their 1000cc sports bikes!.... But the most fun on 2 wheels for me ( on the road) was supermoto!... Low power, low weight, lots of grunt and crazy acceleration! Top speed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top speed... I agree with everything you've said, it's not all about speed, but 30mph is not speed it's just dog slow and boring, it's not a problem though as I do believe it's just a gearing issue and even the standard esc should take the strain. When I'm bashing it's about the overall fun factor and heart in the mouth moments, with the 5sc flux I've got 40+ gives me that but 30 dosnt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocdcbr Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Yeah... Don't get me wrong... Speed is of course a rush and adds to the fun... It's also great to know u have it even if u don't use it that much. Main guessing for my sort of bashing 35-40 top end would be ideal.... Still not run it so don't really know yet tho! Ive got both option Spurs and several pins so I can mess about w gearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatWheels Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Seriously you need to drive one 30 is quick for the size of the vehicle especially when it is hurtling towards you. Another 5-10 mph would be good fun though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatWheels Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Yeah point taken I am still blown away by the size and weight of this thing. I am off to the woods tomorrow ! Speed and trees don't mix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Nope, they certainly don't....although, the usual forum caveats apply in these matters: No matter how observant you are, trees jump out of nowhere. So do fence posts, goal posts, lamp posts and wildlife. No vid/pic then the event simply did not happen. Happy bashing.

NG15 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) I'm sure the Rc world in the uk has less if a following than it used to, and there for less well stocked shops. Just ordered a 18t pinion, 50t spur, 50wt shock oil, castle dual fan and a tqi wireless module and had to buy from 3 separate shops. Let's see if this thing can safely go over 40mph ....
