Hello, my name is Jackson I am new to the Arrma Forum and to Arrma products!
My recent purchase of a Typhon 6s V5 has left me with an appetite for speed! Here's how it is going so far.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Running 2 x Gen Ace 60C 3s Batteries in Series
1. Stock Set Up on the provided 20t pinion I achieved 73.28mph *Downhill*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Blew out the stock Spektrum Firma ESC in a parking lot.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Upgraded to Mamba Monster X 8S ESC and tires to badlands (not for speed runs but for the bmx track) and figured it would technically have a higher gear ratio due to the tires being slightly larger than the stock Dakar Dboots diameter. I achieved a remarkable 82mph!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Purchased Hoons to try to keep buggy straight at high speeds and to save the life of my Badlands. I ran 66.39mph on the 20t.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. The latest addition has been the Castle Creations 2200kv 1515 green can, 23T, Hot Front Brace, Hot Racing Motor Mount, and misc parts to repair from bashing incidents. Hoons 77mph and Badland 87.14mph!
I have tried to add timing (15 degrees) but road surfaces were damp and although it didnt seem to provide more top end. That could be an illusion as I may not have had traction. Will do one more speed run in the dry with timing added to see if anything changes!
The plan is to gear it to 23/34 (Limitless Spool). If you guys could help point me in the right direction to crack 100mph or would like to see logs of the pulls let me know!
