Interested to see if the extra weight and body drag of 1/7 limits you from hitting that same speed

Been patiently waiting to see this car in action. Longer 1/7 body will achieve higher speeds..imagine you'll easily beat your all time 3s pb an kill your 4s pb.night an day between 1/7 an 1/8.mike you could really WOW some people with that car..

.This thread will serve as the Arrma forum 2s speed run challenge.
Rules:
- Have fun and enjoy the journey
- Be safe and considers others' safety!
- Help each other improve
- Must be 2s voltage (any number of batteries parallel as long as it stays 2s LiPo max voltage) (4.2v * 2 = 8.4v max voltage post run) (overcharging or LiHv packs are allowed)
- Any motor (assuming we are ok with dual motors should someone want to run that, but will be split off onto a separate list)
- Any ESC (come on it's always the XLX2
- Any tires (Rubber or foam)
- Chassis any 1/8 or 1/7 ("1/10" cars like Slash 4x4 that are truly by size/measurement a 1/8 scale are allowed)
- (NO 1/10 scale small touring cars like 4tec, serpent, Tamiya etc)
- Standard rules for showing GPS that we normally do.
- In your video show the batteries are 2s (3 wires) and if running parallel clearly show the connection going to the ESC.
- Do not have to return the car, but crashes disqualify the run
****Post your video link in this thread and I'll edit the original post with a spreadsheet of standings a few times per week. Also note the car so I can keep up with the list. (I'll track up to 2 of your cars, but you must tell me the model of car in your thread post)****
(Optional if you want to share what motor, batteries, and gearing you are running. I am totally fine with you keeping that secret if you would like)

Very nice Mike! There is no easy way to say this, but the post-run voltage puts this run outside of the rules, which requires you to be at 8.4v or less. (you were reading 8.7)
I added this to a new sub-section below the main list because it is still amazing for 2s HV.
I think @slow rc mike a best option is to start a 2s HV list.
I have updated post 1 on the thread.

Yep, overcharging is allowed assuming you end up at 8.4v or less post-run. Otherwise, you end up in the newly created secondary list for HV where you are over 8.4v post-run. I think setting it up this way keeps things fair for all involved. The alternative would be having to show your voltage before running the car, which would be a pain and I don't want to go down that path....
@LibertyMKiii this is my infraction entry.This thread will serve as the Arrma forum 2s speed run challenge.
Rules:
- Have fun and enjoy the journey
- Be safe and considers others' safety!
- Help each other improve
- Must be 2s voltage (any number of batteries parallel as long as it stays 2s LiPo max voltage) (4.2v * 2 = 8.4v max voltage post run) (overcharging or LiHv packs are allowed)(if your voltage is over 8.4 post run it will fall in the secondary HV list)
- If you are fitting in the top 5 spots on the list you need to show voltage after the run with a voltage meter as the others have done.
- Any motor (assuming we are ok with dual motors should someone want to run that, but will be split off onto a separate list)
- Any ESC (come on it's always the XLX2
- Any tires (Rubber or foam)
- Chassis any 1/8 or 1/7 ("1/10" cars like Slash 4x4 that are truly by size/measurement a 1/8 scale are allowed)

New 2s PB but it wasn't a smooth one.
Really want to run this again but we have a a kinda rainy week ahead of us down here so not sure when I can. Destroyed 3 foams going off road after braking. This is a distance PB for me too but this is also why I never run the car this far. The road gets very rough and bumpy down there and cause it to "dig in" once on the brakes. Log shows more to be had with a longer run, I just don't have the road for it yet.

Congrats on the 116 pb.
Those last few mph on 2s are so hard to find....
Yes sir they are but I'm convinced I can get 1 or 2 more out of it
