Hey guys, alright so I'm looking for some help/advice on getting my 3S Infraction to 100mph. I'm very new to the hobby, but I've been doing quite a bit of research and messing around. My aim is to just be able to grab a triple digit speed run then turn it back into a parking lot basher.
So here's the breakdown of what's done:
-Spektrum 130A esc
-Ovonic 100C 6000mah 4S pack
-20K oil up front, stock 10K rear (rear shocks tightened all the way down, front is stock)
-Aero kit from ACJMods (Carbon front splitter, rear winglets, high speed wing)
-Power Hobby fans for esc and motor
-Hoons gold (I know, after reading I found out these aren't necessarily the best for high speed runs)
-Everything else is stock (motor, 26T pinion, slipper etc)
This setup got me 85mph running out of range (which makes me believe that I can get to 100mph with a few more tweaks). I'm trying to not do anything too drastic, it's going to spend most of it's life a basher.
These are the plans I had in mind (hopefully I'm on the right track)
-Going to do the receiver antenna mod that Earl Moorhead did to his Vendetta for more range (pulled the box and stretched the antenna out the pole into the cabin), Also going to bring a ladder to stand on
-30T pinion
-Was thinking of the silver hoons (unless there's a better option still retaining the 14mm hex)
The car is somewhat stable now at that speed (sure as hell wasn't before, had a few takeoff flights)
But is there anything else I could do to try keeping it planted to the ground (someone suggested putting back on the stock clear wing and cut it down in the middle for less drag).
I know a lot of people would probably just go with the vendetta, but I love the look of the infraction, hoping I can get it done. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
