No need to apologize.talk your heart away bud.i come here for knowledge and to help others so reading is part of it.i enjoy it..I'm just a low key speed runner..and I don't do any off road bashing just isn't my thing .I enjoy modding and building rc street machine's.i haven't passed 3s power yet and 4s will be all I really need to achieve my speed goal in my build project.geared correctly with the right set up I should be able to hit my 100mph goal easily.many say don't sleep on a 4s system.thanks for getting back to my questionsI have a 6S Talion with the go fast gear, a Savox 45g servo and that was my first purchase other that a fully loaded Traxxas Bandit. Lol. Than the Fireteam. So I have greatly improved my bashing skills after many a crash and taking hours to repair what takes a veteran 15 min. I’m learning though! I wanted just the 6S Typhon but the wife got me the 3S on sale for Christmas. Kids got me the 399 fireteam special. But she knew…. Bday is Feb 20th and my LHS gave me almost the Justin price.
But to answer your question? It’s completely out of control for me full throttle unless I’m going straight on a parking lot. Hence the hoons and sparingly running it. It really will get away from you if you’re not careful. lol. But I love going fast. So I’ll be looking for an indoor track close to Clarkston Mi for the 3S practice as I want to get into racing. Then run my TLR on 4S and have hopefully made a friend at the track to help me tune it.
But I’ve learned…. This hobby and sport isn’t for the poor or weak of heart. It’s why I’m building a small workshop. Wrenching just a little was so satisfying. I only replaced my 3S shock tower and did the diff. And a new stock shock.
I watched that video about jumping someone posted where the guy had the throttle and truck split screen and practiced. Broke stuff. Fixed stuff! But the speed of this on 6S is going to be just fine for the straight line runs and drifting. But I have zero track experience and I don’t want to bash it because it’s just so damn pretty in my opinion! Lol. Thanks for asking. Btw. I apologize for rambling. I’m just new.
I have seen many hit 100 on a 3s system but I have not been able to and i know I won't because I added way to much weight to my build.so now I need 4s to make up for the added weight.No need to apologize.talk your heart away bud.i come here for knowledge and to help others so reading is part of it.i enjoy it..I'm just a low key speed runner..and I don't do any off road bashing just isn't my thing .I enjoy modding and building rc street machine's.i haven't passed 3s power yet and 4s will be all I really need to achieve my speed goal in my build project.geared correctly with the right set up I should be able to hit my 100mph goal easily.many say don't sleep on a 4s system.thanks for getting back to my questions
Even if I don't ever hit 100mph .I'm very happy with mid 70s to 80s.to me that's already fast enough and just amazing to hear it scream as it passes by me.makes my heart race fast and gets me super excited with a on my face .as long as I don't crash
