Great news.

Finally got my motor... lol

This is great news.
I was honestly starting to think you'd have to drive and pick it up yourself for all the problems you've had just getting it delivered to your home.

Well the speed runs were a lot of fun today and went well considering where I was running it.
I need to find some where with a bit more room as my confidence with handling the Typhon at high speed is better so I'm running out of space before I can really get top end even with my lower gearing (23T/50T) that I'm currently running so with swapping out to my new set up I will definitely need more space.

@cootertwo personally I found once I'd set up my GPS speed meter properly the software isn't too bad. Managed to change the reading from Kph to Mph and data logging from today seems to be working fine. Peak speed I achieved was 65Mph.

Can't wait to see what my new pinion gear and spur set up will do but like I said I really need to find a better place to run it.

Glad I found this post. I just ran a 20T pinion for the first time today. Did 60 MPH. Got home and placed an order for a 23T and was curious what top speed I might expect.

Finally fitted the motor and started to solder everything up...

Wow you can really see how long that motor body is now it is in position.

Excited for you.

The length makes you feel more of a man

I didn’t use the standoffs for the yeah racing fans and just mounted them directly to the heatsink on my builds. Not sure if it is better for cooling or not though ?

yeah, i agree for sure.... I put the body on and was like, na, thats not gonna work... I took the extensions off as well.. There may be some negative air flow but i think when the car is going 60mph or more that goes away...

 

[Dutch213]

Just need my castle connectors and a few parts.

 

[cootertwo]

Without the spacers, they tend to blow air back. I thought at first I had mine wired backwards, but it's just blowing back off the heatsink.

I was gonna make some 1/2' spacers... i figured that would create flow.

70.8 MPH with 23T pinion.

Nice one @ninadada . ?
