Limitless Arrma Forum 4s speed run challenge

[slow rc mike]

This thread will serve as the Arrma forum 2022
4s speed run challenge. (not the Arrma 3s or 4s line, but a challenge for running 4s voltage)

Rules:
- Have fun and enjoy the journey
- Be safe and considers others' safety!
- Help each other improve
- Must be 4s voltage (any number of batteries parallel as long as it stays 4s LiPo max voltage) (4.2v * 4 = 16.8v max voltage)
- Any motor (assuming we are ok with dual motors should someone want to run that)
- 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 4s (5 wires) and if running parallel clearly show the connection going to the ESC.

****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. If you are running multiple cars I will post your best/top speed****
(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)

Sweet pass and trackin' straight as an arrow. Cali weather is tough to beat man. The season is coming to an end here it seems. Weather is fine during the day when I can't run and it's been drizzling every night for the past week. I'm just going to do one more 3S pass and then move to 4S. Hopefully I can get a few passes in before the fat lady sings.

Jeeeezzzz i cant imagine what @slow rc mike can do on 8s!!!

 

[MP-RC]

A good friend asked me to drop this run here , I hope it's OK

Well done, I'll get you added to the list.

 

[vwturbowolf]

wanted to ask whether everyone is cool with me running my dual motor limitless some more on 4s for this challenge. It is all for fun anyways. I’m thinking that after a couple more 8s sessions in pursuit of higher numbers I’ll regear it for 4s.
I feel like now that everyone is posting up big numbers I can drop this in here.
I absolutely won’t be surprise to see 160 from someone in here

Of course!! The rules state:
- Any motor (assuming we are ok with dual motors should someone want to run that)

so why the hell not? I, for one, am curious to see what a dual motor on 4S can do. Sweet pass as always

There is no prize or really any sort of "winning" in this. It is just a list and friendly competition.
So by all means go for it. I'd love to see what it can do!

No monetary prize, but there are many rewards. The knowledge of limits, be it equipment-physical and electronic, setups in suspension, aerodynamics, motor etc all make you guys extremely beneficial to the new folks, like me, who are trying like hell to get faster
We're ALL winners

Very true, just saying people would get butt hurt about a dual motor competing against the others if there was a more competitive vibe going based on people going after a prize.

I think if this were a competition for prizes you'd have to split it up by scale and number of motors to even out the chances of success for everyone. Same with the 3S challenge. I don't think there's a realistic chance of a 1/7 scale coming anywhere close to Mike's 137mph pass. But this is just all in good fun and friendly competition and that helps keep it all friendly which promotes information sharing so that everyone can benefit from one another.
