Mojave 🔥Off Road Speed Run Thread🔥

[Spoc85]

Rules:
- Any Terrain bar Asphalt/Blacktop, Concrete, Bitumen or any road base….. run that sucker in the snow if you think you can pull a good number.
- Display the GPS before and after the pass.
- If you want you can show the voltage but not really necessary. The highest number is the goal.
- Everything else is free reign.

I’m happy to keep track of the top 5 numbers unless someone else is keen to take over the scoring. Let us know if you do.

The goal is 100MPH Off Road and after today I think it will be a little more challenging than I originally thought.
With todays run I was sure I was going to pull a better number than that. I did run with bald tyres though

@MambaSenton, @Moirae, ….. Get amongst this!!!!! and anyone else who wants to have a crack.

This should be very interesting

well you guys arent going to like my normal speedrun spot very much for this; but i don't have a very fast grass buggy anyway... hahah

I get a 700' runup on my 6S Typhon before transitioning to a soccer field, or the other way to a dirt lot... hmmm... have been meaning to buy some basher tires for it...

 

[Spoc85]

Not a bad session…… I did have a battery eject from the car and also busted up a fan.
Not much space to work with. When I get on it too early the car cuts out.
Be swapping this out for a higher KV motor.

100mph off-road is a tall order. I don't have a vehicle to participate with but I bid you all Godspeed and good luck!! I'll be watching this thread

Shoot I want to take my 131mph Mojave off road now. Gonna need some 100mph off-road tires tho. I think the belted Katars are the best option I’ve seen.

I don’t think it’s been done too many times and after having a crack at it I can see why.
It would be cool to see a member on here do it though……. maybe @Diem Turner can knock up one of his Certificate’s for a 100MPH Off Road Style

I’m on this path too with a Typhon. My best so far in sand. Roughly 80 percent throttle

On days it’s not windy I’ve done up and down, speeds were always within 1-2 mph of each other. Regardless this is just testing to go full throttle and not flip over. I can go to a more “official area” and do a pass on big flats. But no point driving out in the dunes to find a spot until I can put all the power to the ground first. This spot here is super quick to walk to from street so this is the testing area I guess.

New field. Soccer game at the regular. This one is longer but bumpier. Its cold and damp today but not bad.
74.1 mph, Kraton Difs, 18 pinion, Stock Electronics, Hoovo 6S 100c 80000mAh Lipo.
Cycling GPS for now, is actuate up till about 95.
I'll be back with a 20 and 22 pinions and some alt tuning for this field.

Oh and we did some Hill Climbing, very steep grass and rough. Maybe 40' elevation.

Did you do that on the Backflips?

 

[fish]

Did you do that on the Backflips?

yes, they are working out nicely right now. Cant say what happens over 80.
This field has lots of bumps and clumps of grass. When it grabs onto some of that hard, it starts lifting the nose more and your speed goes down.
Tougher field. Kraton Shocks, I'll try thicker fluid in the front shocks and I have stiffer springs if need be. You can see in this video, its not to bouncy.
Looks slower in the video than it does in person.

Yeah it’s definitely the terrain that makes it challenging.
I had the same setup with the Mojave for the grass as I did for the street except I increased the Voltage by 1s for the grass run……..the car ran nearly 20MPH slower.
I did have 800f less to work with on the grass run but I thought it would’ve run quicker than 63.
Just to reiterate a Video will have to be posted to make the Top 5 list with the GPS displayed before and after the run.
