Hoons are still good up to 100 mph

I've got a bunch of spare BLX 185's, but only one motor with a similar kv to the one you are using. Gonna give the 6s deal a try and see where it goes. Unfortunately, none of this is happening until springšŸ˜„
Thats what I do with my blx185 stock takeouts.run them in my 2 1/10.what a blast they are.drive different than 1/8 an parts are cheaper.

I'm starting to giggle like a child right now. Just the idea of all that extra power is making me absolutely giddy.
 
Got a new spur and pinion! Baby steps

Little update: Got all the new gears installed but it poured all day:mad:. I'm hoping to take it out tomorrow and give it a bit of a test run and update you guys with what I get.

Depending on body you decide to run.68mm an less length motor, and the Blx185 will fit down in chassis tight.otherwise esc must go somewhere else.(top of receiver box).only downfall is must pull esc to pull power module.but much better setup in the end ..IMO JD's custom receiver box would also be good idea

So to put in the 72mm can, the receiver box has to find a new home. Shouldn't be too hard. The spare motor I have is a 2650kv Gool Rc that's been around since my Slash days. It's near 70mm and looks like it might just leave enough room to squeeze the 185 in there.
 
How did you get the gears installed? I had trouble with my spur. It wasn't in the middle so it was not aligned. Is it possible for you to send me a video of you taking the spur apart a bit?
Have you seen Rich Duperbash's video where he showed his little spool creation in his Big Rock? I basically copied exactly what he did. Heres the link:
skip to about 3:45 into it.

Yes anything over 68mm long an blx185 won't fit down in there without cutting on rec.box.for a typhon esc must go down in between rec.box an back of motor to fit body..with this 4068 fitting tight its almost like a brace .tp4030-2750kv would probably would scream.40Ɨ67mm

I shaved the receiver box a bit to fit the ESC under the Typhon body and still have space for a bigger motor. I hate when people say "You can't beat him". Makes me want to do it more! Good luck with beating the Traxxas. Honestly shouldn't be a problem IMO :ROFLMAO:
 
Soon as I get my gnss in mail next week I'll put big rock body on 1/10,26t an I be it'll hit 85 with blx185 and cheap 6s 80c pack.got the notorious ready to try 100mph.think duperdash got 82mph with his big rock.

Update: I know it has been a while but I have been pretty busy with school and some other personal stuff. Anyway, I had some free time and put in my max10SCT esc from my slash and decided to give the typhon a little test run on 4s. Needless to say it has certainly waken up quite a bit lol. I don't have a gps but I would guess it is hitting around 70 on 20/57 gearing. And I still have the spool creation to try out so I am pretty excited to test that out! I will probably update more over the weekend when I have some free time. Thank you to everyone who has helped me and given me suggestion!
