Congrats man! Glad you got the issue figured out and were able to get a good pass in!

Yes sir brother, gearing did the trick, next up I’ll go 30 tooth pinion ! What u think?! Trued running with the bananas but she didn’t like em,
All over the place so I switched to grp s5 and that was the ticket. Motor was barely warm at 120 , xlx2 at 105 or so , room to gear up !
I will be ecstatic when I hit 150! (If I hit 150! )

 

[Edough13]

I'd run a few passes personally with the current gearing giving car little more room to top out the gearing. I'd guess you could pull another 3-5mph+ on a longer pass as your barely over 3200ft so figure pass itself is only about 1600ft. Stretch that another 1000ft if you have the room and for sure you'll see a decent gain. Well you want to get rig of the banana skins possibly as I said they match my rig lol and I've been running foams last couple months so used to running them. Also be careful with the grp's may want to wrap them as they don't like too much over 130mph before they blow.

Btw , I agree on the Scorched drive shafts , I had to remove mine they still rubbed on the braces even after a butt load of filing and dremmel ! They probably great on a carbon fiber chassis without the braces !

yep I am worried about the grp’s my buddy blew one at 125 on the same road !
The Bananas are chunked and scraped from a crash yesterday, they took the brunt of the damage! I’m gonna run foams again probably
bsr’s . Also I will run on this gear set for a while you’re spot on on your suggestions and thank you!

Big if here, but IF this setup is fully maxed out and does not have anymore speed in it.... Then a 30T pinion would put you around 155mph assuming voltage didn't sag any more than it is currently.

Long story short a 29t or 30t should get you up around 150 if the tires hold.

One thing I believe to be true about foams is they have a lot more traction, especially laterally, so you really have to turn your steering expo down even further. Also sanding the outer edges so they don’t grab when turning helps too.

OK darn it maybe just have to order some from him. I try with suggestions and use the last 8 months of solid speed running experience to help as I've had issues half of that and have tried many different things along the way. Ya I think the Scorched shafts at least the Limitless length rear is just too thick at 8mm. If it was say 6mm instead or stock 5mm it would be a lot better I feel. Glad to help man and keep putting up great numbers!

How many kv is that 4070? If I may ask.

 

[BobS]

sure thing! its the 2200kv , open rear vents

I want a TP and XLX2 for my Lim. Only running 6s now, same gearing as yourself. HW XR8+ sensored ESC with a HW sensored 2250kv. I was wondering whether to get the sealed motor can or not myself. Vented makes sense.
Are you running sensored also????

 

[AIan]

Great job on a new PB!!! I’m getting excited my limitless build starts as soon as my parts arrive (Xlx2) and a screw kit from Jenny’s. Pretty soon I’ll be doing PB runs with y’all.

 

[RedondoBeachRC]

That gives me hope!

I have the exact same setup but currently at 105mph on 6S with 30/34 with V2 infraction. I’m thinking I’ll max out at 115-120mph.
