chris52 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Quite a few of you know me and know i like speed racing r/c, well myself Nic Nase and a few other guys have setup a new website dedicated to r/c speed. There is a database where you can enter your cars your speeds,specs etc etc. link here So what is the ISC? "The International Radio Controlled Speed Challenge (ISC) is an organization of people dedicated to the world wide promotion & growth of speed run racing radio controlled (R/C) cars. We believe that the foundation of the sport is based in the grass roots non-racing public - amateurs, hobbyists and bashers - as well as the seasoned professional. It is the intention of the ISC website to become a knowledge base for everything related to speed runs for r/c cars, to be the central source for records, both official and unofficial, and to be used as the industry standard in certifying true vehicle speeds as claimed by manufacturers." The site has only gone live today so we need everyone and anyone's input suggestions and cars putting into the database. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieman5 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 nice site. ive been doing a brushless lipo tc3 recently but i doubt it would beat the 84 mph current record in the electric scale class. I rekon ive got it to around 50-55mph so far (all legally 2s 5000mah lipo), could do with some hints on making it faster. Current setup: mamba max esc mamba 7700kv motor demon 2s 5000mah 20c lipo standard tc3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt B Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 If he does that, then he will have to run in the Electric open section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieman5 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 yeah i was going to say, i dont think i would be allowed a better battery is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt B Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 No, unless you wnted to run it in the Electric open class where there are no battery limitations I believe, but you will be running against cars that are purposely made for ridiculous speeds. Either that or you be like me, and go and record the slowest speed but have a laugh doing it, and DON'T crash *Cough*Scott*cough* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hide Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I get a feeling that a Neu motor will be ordered for my SD I've been thinking of doing some speed things since I started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe of loath Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 another thing you could do is mod the motor mount to fit TWO 9000kv CC motors seen it done, and it means you can get double the torque, so raise the gearing a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieman5 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) i would have space for one on the other side of the spur gear but i dont think you are allowed multiple motors in the scale electric class either.

Garry Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I'd work on aero, transmission losses and the like, much cheaper than buying new equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieman5 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 would a 200mm lola shell be better than the current normal touring car shell it has on it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Yup, even better if you dont cut the wheel arches out (to not distrupt the airflow). I'd try one of them, or a HPI Stocker http://www.wheelspinmodels.co.uk/item/HPI-...dy-200mm__12be/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
