Nothing worst than putting a new setup together an nothing but rain...finally cooled off here now a week of rain...might get it in this afternoon.....cars ready for some 2s tuning. Gonna try for 80mph on 2s..74 is my pb..car looks so narrow an long..lol..give 3800kv a try first,then try 4400kv..if I can get on a dry road today I'm expecting 80 on 2s an 103+ on 3s.....

That storm just hovered around all day today and never landed, drove me crazy too!
My god those TP motors look massive in that mount. I was looking at a 4040CM, you think it'd have any issues fitting? (3S BLX Typhon mount)

Yes 40mm fit fine.i can fit mmx8s an tp4060 40×92 in lwb...you could probly fit bigger on xlwb.tp4040,tp4050,tp4060 all cost 160$..if ya plan on running5s an under I'd either get the 4050cm 3800kv or tp4060cm-3480kv. I are animals on 2,3,4,5s..haven't tried 6s yet on either one...but both are good for 22ish volts 80000rpms.id pick the 3800kv..it's my favorite 1/10 motor so far.....uncontrollable on 5s..here's one here ready to go..not sure how well mm2 would handle 3800kv.ya plan on running mm2??
I was thinking 3200kv on 6s. Good to hear the can fits! I am a little concerned about the smallest gear that’ll fit but I think I can go 18/53 (100mph at 72k rpm at 3.8v in theory) and not have the can hit the driveshaft.

What esc ya gonna be using with new motor????tp3650 is a powerhouse of a 36mm motor also....they make 2350w con an 4500w max...the 4050s make 2350w con an 5000w max.3650 is much lighter. I've got the 3650-3080kv..I love um,great motors...I always go for the 2y an 3y motors..iused to run the 3080kv with mm2....they only cost 110$ also...had it in notorious running 116mph on 5s couple weeks ago....reg tp4050-3080kv 2y is one I've always wanted to try
I think a 4040CM is under 200A, (not crazy overvolting) right from TP Powers specs. (So my MM2 should work for now).
Eventually i'll have to go big... haha!

Don't really have worry about overvolting them speedrunning....you'll never get them close to overvolting them...ALOT of tppowerusa info is wrong on there site.theyll call a motor that can 6s a 5s motor....this is 1 of my favorite motors,it's a 3480kv with a 78000rpm max.so technically it would have to go over 22.4volts to reach 78000rpm max.....you'll never hold over 19v on a 6s speedrun.ive run this motor on 5s an didn't come close to max rpm....here's 130mph log from 5s hit this morning..if ya can hold 16v during a 5s pass(21v) that's great...on 140ish 6s run would never get motor close to 20v,unless ya where geared for bashing or something.
I pay no attention to max volts,just motor temps,temps tell how well a tp motor will run...

Mm2 is a little bitty badazz.....tiny esc that'll run 100mph on 4s no problems,not many 6s escz will run 100mph on 6s ive got a mmx6s that don't have near the power of my old mm2..I like to do alot of switching things up an comparisons.in this thread I did a comparison between mm2,mmx6s, an xlx....same gearing, car,even all in the same day....ran best # with mm2.it ran 2mph faster than xlx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!castle says it's a 120a esc..I've pulled 220a with mmx6s an 400a with xlx an mm2 still outperformed them...crazy

IM HATING THIS WHETHER...SUCKS
to be fair too: my MM2 is a drag special (the "retro"): i was pleasantly surprised to see what you were doing with yours!
I'll probably order the TP 4040CM 3770KV (eventually).
@K-BASH : man you're really good at reading this data. I don't think i'd have noticed how the voltage drop over the run was affecting overall rpm cap (the 3770kv looks like a crazy number if you do the straight math, but looking at your data logs I realized what you were saying. devil in the details here man, you're a rockstar!)

Thread update .....did as good as 124mph on 3s with vendetta body...waiting on gears so back to the original plan,,,fitting this delta body on car...
So after removing sidegaurds and mounts,checking fitment,time to start on body..so what I cut off rear of body I'll use to extend front an sides..super glue, then screws to hold..
dude I cannot wait to see this! contemplating a vendetta just to build a deltaplastic body!

Didn't plan on having to try an customize this body so much to work,not sure where I'm working next few days,don't usely find out till in mornings. If your cap cuts ripple in half I should see 1-5 mph gains.not sure how this will end up looking..lol ...probly get crashed 1st outing anyway...
Haha I love the optimism!

May want to re-enforce that front air dam somewhat.. So that lip won't get tucked under the shell at high speeds...

Looks really cool. I dig that body.
Agreed with @Tex Koder you will want to support the front.
Check out post #94 on my VTE2 build on what I did for a simple solution on a custom foam tight fitting body support.

Still got some work to do to car,I've got foam behind it an 3 screws throu it..sturdy-Gurdy right now,till it gets ran off the road an speed. I think it's good enough for a test hit,find out soon as I get off work
Figured since I plan on 1st test hit today,might as well test another motor I've got...small amp thirsty 4030-4400kv...4050 did a best of 4500w on 124mph pass...tried this motor on a couple short single 3s pack in neighborhood,98mph an 3300w pull,,,this motor is much lighter than 4050..I'm thinking it'll push 4000w easly..here's log from that day
Very thirsty little motor,requires a castle 8s esc to run it.it'll push mmx8s to its limits quik.this motor should really shine on 4s in light setup..
