Very windy an rain off an on.found a window,96mph on 6s ole basher packs.not the best conditions,but this thing is fun as $hit.very noticeable weight difference from 8s setups I'm used to.starts are some side to side then laying the power down it gos strait.like do your best to point strait an pull tha trigger.very impressed with this cap,and logs from mmX still haven't made a good pull,I was lifting an it was still building rpms.at max rpm I was at 71% power out.lots of rain next few days.

That was a pretty clean throttle line in that log 👍🏻👍🏻
 
Hoping to put down some passes,try an repeat equal trigger pulls everytime.thing is an absolute rocket.be good dragster.like a mini infraction. .do a swb car JD

I do have a spare chassis ….

Pushing for pbz will get to ya.slap a swb together and go have some fun brother.totally different speedrun animal.parts are cheap,hardly any drivetrain breakage,way less center shaft problems.stock short shafts hold up.it'll definitely help anyone's driving skills..to say the least...

Maybe that will be a winter project. I got my hands full with three cars already. Still haven’t speed run the stretched Typhon yet.
 
It’s a struggle keeping this nose down.
I feel sorry for the motor and ESC 🤦‍♂️

Needs a drawbar to stack weights on like a pulling tractor..lol

Those MMX6s runs so hot. Even in a feather light 4tec 2.0 mine would get hot.
I foresee an XLX2 going in there soon :LOL:
You have read my mind.lol
Mount it upside down,cab would go right over it.even thout of running 8s parallel,packs mounted on bed.idesa are flowing..😅🤣😂.Overkill is what I like

I'm gonna push this truck to the limits.i kinda figured out how to control it.now it's time to start adding gear.see what this 6s esc can take,then go 8s.more room to work with with the notorious body.alot less drivetrain vibration issues with the shorter center shafts. Even with the 3.3 diffs spinning them faster.the difference between swb,lwb,xlwb is astronomical in speedrunnning. Chassis length makes huge difference in how car performs.

Been having problems this week,multiple crashs,lost a 3s pack. I swapped the 4050-2300kv cm motor for a 4040-2100kvnot working mmxx6s as hard an I didn't have enough to light the 8s 4050 motor.the 4040 comes alive higher in the rpms easier. ..decided to run 4s just to help control it.ran 85 mph on 4s yesterday with 30/32...going this morning with 33/32
Check this new swb big block senton suspension 8s build I started.5.2 lbs in this form...lmao..haven't decided what to make outa it...im thinking overpowered park blaster,basher

Any short 85mph run,try to go to THE SPOT in morning. Stretch the noto legs out some.5200mah chhl 90c 4s pack.can see my bad start on log.lol.i always cross reference log usein speed from gnss an rc calculator. I drop volts on calculator to match rpms on log.speeds should be about same.cc logs always very accurate

Heres 89 & 91mph on 4s pass.rpms still building.this is great for trigger pull practicing.
Going from 4s noto to 8s typhon is big difference.noto everything is just slowed down ..
Mmx6s pulled 202 amps!!highest so far
