Popular Post Redback Posted April 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2021 Ah thanks for asking, I did have one go the other week with the banzai, but went to late and i was unable to clearly see the car, so only managed to get a laughable 45mph on 4s, wasnt even worth going out for. With ROSSA only being 2 months away and the cars in good working order, I'm mostly just waiting for that event so i can really open up all the taps without trying to dodge traffic or worry about road surfaces and wiping out due to rushing to get a pass in. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you get plenty of footage 👍 I’m looking forward to seeing how you get on . Good idea to wait for ROSSA I would do the same in your shoes, finding suitable roads is a lot trickier than I imagined although I think I’ve found one but it’s going to require using it either super early or in the dead of night . Would love to go to ROSSA ....maybe next year 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Yes maybe next year for Rossa, I would take the Mrs and camp up for a few days, but need to hone my skills first 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Ha ha a friend is saying he will gate crash the ROSSA event and launch his Strix Goblin rc plane from a mile away and do a low full throttle pass along the runway, it flies at a top speed of around 260 KPH............i wont be telling him where and when lol 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Is that the X6G model, what are the wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Been running figures in the online rc speed calculator it does not look good no matter how i play with the figures, looks like 38.3MPH as it stands, if i go up to a 23T pinion and 40T spur with 2650kv motor that only takes it to 75.9 MPH, i think i am best sticking with the rc planes for speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomr Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 That should give me the range I need to get a flat out run in, hopefully this weekend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Just watched a YT video, yep looks like its gonna be about 38mph from theHobao, this is really poor, my 2s jumpshot is way faster, seems like it will take a big pile of cash to get it to a decent speed, got some decisions to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redback Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Took the dr10 out with a 32t pinion and 78t spur so pretty tall gearing for what AE offer, was expecting 49+ Anyway, stock run on 3s 39mph. Same stock motor, same battery, taller gearing same runup... 38mph. 😆🤣🤦♂️ The esc and motor are the weak point, looking forward to seeing what the other combos can do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty you can do to get any RC going faster and I'm sure we'll all chip in with ideas. Good luck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i will do a GPS run and get the base line, problem is, i have sunk best part of £340 into it to get 40 max, it will take another £120 or so to just get it to 65-70 and not sure i am prepared to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
