Limitless Arrma Forum 4s speed run challenge

[K-BASH]

Some 4s test hits with gt car..back to back,1st hit 1 smc 6900mah,2nd hit 2 packs..waiting on esc,should arrive mon then I have a car setup for this challenge..just thought I'd share this little test I wanted to try.

Logs from each pass....6900mah held voltage good on this mediocre 6s gearing

was going to say, man you didnt even get to ring that motor out proper and you were FLYING!

I LOVE that body! great work man!

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 for 1 car, whichever is the fastest****
(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)

Great progress Mike, I see those 4s packs are working good.

Nice! Got your entry on the list updated.

What a fun looking challenge, too bad I missed it.. I've been traveling and working most of this summer so didn't get to run my cars much.. I will definitely be in the next 4s challenge. I must say I never thought I'd see a 4s car do 150mph, I saw some amazing runs on these parallel setups. It seems like just recently Onyx pushed battery tech to a new high I guess, a lot of guys are doing runs with over 10mph or more top speed improvements just from running those batteries. I've also seen big improvements from people running the new CHNL Innovation RC 10,000mah packs as well

 

[Diem Turner]

Oof...y'all are putting up some frighteningly big numbers already. Top notch fellas

I was tempted to take that spot. I did 73.9 mph with a Kraton 6s running a 4s pack LOL

That's awesome...and funny at the same time. It looks like you're running on piano casters
