There are a few guys ahead of him (James McCoy, Peter Dirks) speed wise now but either way doing the kind of speeds they are now gaining even an extra mph or two can be very difficult as the forces involved on the RC's are crazy. Raz seems to have very good driving technique , good at keeping it straight at speed also he seems to be able to set a chassis up well....................just a case of more power! and he is at the Desert road now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Redback Posted July 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Been working on getting my old hyper ready for speed runs, did a quick shakedown. It's got so much to give, wasnt able to max it not even 50% throttle and a very short run. Needs a few tweaks but im confident ill get 100 out of her at least. Already faster than my Limitless 😂 Edited July 21, 2021 by Redback 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 What happened at the end of the run @Redback ? Just heard "big crash", ...did it flip or something else. Can't wait to see how you get on with that in August. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see how you get on with that in August. Clipped some grass as it was a bit twitchy when getting up there, white hoons didnt grip well i did another warmup pass and had lots of sliding also, might be the road or the tires.... either way, clipped the grass car launched about a foot, spun 1080 and landed on its wheels the clang you hear! Was so lucky there was no damage and it didnt flip over, I wont be running again till the event, i dont mind a bit of street shake downs but i stuggle to find the confidence to max the big rigs on small roads. Thank you G, looking forward to seeing your Typhoon fly through the traps too, 1/8th buggies vs 1/10 cars imo the buggies a right handful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 We can check the buggies set up when you're there if you think you have any issues with it, ...MP really knows his Hobao's so he'll be the main man for helping you get that thing set up perfectly. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert_w164 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) Hey chaps, What's the go to speed running wheels (12mm hex) hex I believe? Edit: general consensus is 1/10 wheels with a 1mm washer, so I guess I'm after recommendations for 1/10 speed running wheels. It's for a Losi mini 8.

I might have a cheap set for sale, I bought the wrong size. Can't remember whether it was a pair or all 4 though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Redback Posted August 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) Heres my ROSSA results, didn't manage to get 100 out the hyper 7 as i had hoped, lots of cutouts on the hobbywing setups. So ended up putting in a castle xlx for 8s and got 83 should go faster than that tho, blew a drive shaft out the cup so did that with 3 wheel drive. Limitless finally did 100 with the hobbywing setup, overall dissapointed in it, will try gearing down and see if that results in more speed. Hyper 10 did a decent speed for 2s and stock gearing, went very easy on it, has way more to give will push it to 3s next time and get a full run from her, 60 for sure is in the bag. Only one 3/4 pass as the Banzai took off like a plane on the 2nd full pull, its a 120mph car for sure just need to balance the airo. I was most impressed with the DR10 looking at the logs motor was only 62% power output on the 3s run, could have pulled harder and gone faster, so 85 i feel is a realistic new goal. Hyper 7 6s - 61, 76, 67 Mph 8s - 84 Mph New PB! Limitless 8s - 92, 88, 83, 101 Mph New PB! Hyper 10 2s - 45 Mph (1st benchmark speed.) Banzai 3s - 70, 84 Mph 4s - 108 Mph New PB! *(fastest banzai in the uk), unknown (115+) Dr10 2s - 63 Mph New PB! 3s - 76 Mph New PB! The hobbywings really holding the 1/8+ scales back, Got to drop low voltage cut off to low or off, even at med it causes cutouts from voltage sag. I wouldnt waste a dime on a max 8 or max 6 system again if your wanting to speed run, go straight for a castle xlx or bigger, the power delivery is night and day. The hobbywing motors are great tho the 4274 took 8s like a dream and is only rated to 6s.*Chris's Banzai did 108 also but on 6s, so technically im faster 😉 Edited August 20, 2021 by Redback 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 Toying with selling some rigs and getting a new speed run car, maybe build something over coming winter, maybe it's time to let the Blackfoot go, sell the vantage and maverick, but if I do I would stick to 1/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best trying before you buy, maybe attend a speedrun event if your mates are going, if they have something you like try it out? Theres a free rc speedrun event at santa pod not sure if its closer to you than rossa or speed frenzy, dont know about BRCA licences for santa pod as usally you need insurace to run high speed machines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
