At least you know the reason why its going slower now. That should help bump the speed up once that is resolved.
Yeah man fingers crossed that's what it was because I was very confused on these speeds. However the highest gearing I ran did 88 mph after I changed to the MMX8s so 88mph on 79% throttle I suppose is a very good sign. I should have tested last night with the motor away from the spur to make sure I am actually getting 100% but I didn't think to do that so a real world test will have to do!
Happy you are enjoying! Fingers crossed we all see some happy numbers today if I actually have 100% throttle now
Yeah well now I figured out my issue!! @LibertyMKiii it wasn't the damn calibration. I was in street mode this whole time and I have been hearing what sounds like pulsing and never understood what it was until now. It was the bike limiting my throttle to avoid wheelies but it normal only does it when you actually get the front tire up a little so I guess the bike is leaning back hard enough to register a little wheelie and kicking my power down. So I put it in wheelie mode which let's the front wheel get much higher before cutting throttle and hit the ticket!! 92 mph run just now on batteries that were already drained a little from 2 passes and some cruising around waiting for street to be clear

Just checked batteries and they are 3.77 per cell and it did 92

lolol It is pretty funny when you are running 3s or more in the street mode it hits a wheelie and goes up and kicks it down but then immediately goes back up and gets kicked down again a bunch of times before you get going fast enough for it to stay down
I believe so!! Looking forward to it finally
Maybe if I had my ultimate extreme precision aerodynamic enhancing cover that I made so skillfully I would have gotten that 2 mph!!You can Do It!!
More Powoooer!!!
So I'm sitting here thinking how that street mode cut is happening and I guess it's compressing the rear suspension all the way down which is causing the receiver to tilt back and trick it into thinking it's in a wheelie, which is pretty crazy. So I had already bought tighter springs so it's time to put one of those on and maybe some more preload. I also don't totally understand it yet but I guess there is some sort of steering mechanism behind that front number plate that has oil in it which I believe is 500k. But I'm going to it to 1 million to maybe avoid some steering sway when trying to push through 100 mph air. I also think the stiffer rear spring could help the steering since right now it's squatting so much in the back. But stiffer rear also means easier wheelies so we'll see what happens. Going to run the same gearing on the next run to try and get that 100 but I'm also going to get another few gears ordered. I'm currently running 21 pinion which is only 1 higher than stock but I have the larger front sprocket and smaller rear
Oh and the Losi chain is holding strong
Yeah man that 2s just doesn't do much in stock format but that new system 2s will be much more fun!! You are running super moto tires right?
