Ok so we went back out today and got some more impressive speed!
I took the advice of @Sloclone100 of maybe moving my GPS to prevent it from being damaged in the event of a crash. So thank you for that.
@jondilly1974 also added to that advice with the suggestion of putting a zip tie over the gps as well. So I printed out a sleeve that snuggly slides over top and it worked beautifully.
To further my knowledge even more @LibertyMKiii suggested some grp’s and I did that as well. Now as far as those go, when I balanced them they were absolutely terrible. Those things are sooo untrue it just blew my mind. But I got them balanced and run them a few times. My top speed on those was 104mph. Now I was impressed with them but I just had to try out the hoons.
So I threw on my hoons and ran her one more time! Low and behold I hit 108mph!!! Holy smokes I was excited about that. After all my goal is 110. Keep in mind that in between runs I put a separate 3s battery on the fans to cool her down for a bit.
Now onto the data logs. Since I’m still learning about all of this, maybe some of you can chime in and tell me your thoughts.
This was the logs from the 104mph pass on the grps
This chart is from the Hoons pass @ 108mph.
Setup was Castle 1717-1650kv motor
MMX8S Esc
8s Ripple Killer
27t pinion and 34t spur
Two 4s 6000 mah 100c ZEEE lipos
