Congrats! I’ll see what I can do; trying to update a little more frequently

Crashed on 1st warm up pass,got loose.had go pro on front of car.should have some good footage.haven't assesst damage yet.the BS continues. Have a 140+++ car.just need a clean pass..lauched brand new xlx2. Hopefully still good.7s with a go-pro mounted to front,133mph $hitty pass.140 easily on 8s

How about changing it again

Infraction Stock Body 8S 143mph

 

[K-BASH]

8s×2. Parallel 2 packs mounted on bed,2 under body,xlx2 tp5660 ..xlx2 mounted upside-down in cab,1/5grps
Overkill I know.thats what I'm into.did an off road
senton 8s.best holeshots ever...this truck,1/5grps feal like they need more weight for traction.add packs till I like the pulls.

@Spoc85 she is screaming on 6s..more of a super truggified typhon with a noto body than a notorious thou.
@jondilly1974. @Edough13 how horrible do you thing this would end up being ???cool idea,probly be a disaster in the end..lol

 

[Edough13]

Braver than I am with the packs outside like that. Cool idea for sure but don't think it will do very well for speed runs.

Since I fried another 2050kv and the new rotor for the TP isn't here yet, I figured I'd give the 1250kv a try. How low should I keep my expectations on 6s with say, 29/35 gearing in the center? Gear calculator says 80 mph which would really suck, but I can't afford to kill any more 2050's since that's what I'm running in the Kraton.

Yep you’re gonna have to gear way higher. Probably overdrive it to get any real speed.

Ya I ran the 1717 1260kv on 34/29 and pulled 111 on 6s so definitely have to gear way up

So your suggestion is to drop down the spur and raise the pinion? I just received my 8mm Saga pinions from Island Hobbynut, so I can drop down that spur. I've got one 34t 5mm pinion that I can slap on that motor too. Looks like I've got something new to work with now between all my 5mm and 8mm gears.

Yep with the lower kv gotta run a lot smaller spur and still a bigger pinion also. If you stayed with the 1250kv you eventually would be running like 40t+ pinion so have to drop down spur to be able to fit the gearing as can't fit like a 39t spur and 44t pinion just for exapmle.

The math on 34/25 says 130 mph, which would be a pretty big accomplishment for me. I've also got a 21t 8mm which means I could even take this one step further. I'm just not sure that the car will actually move without a push when you start switching up the gearing this way. Only one way to find out.

Not sure what motor mount you’re running but you’ll need to balance gear ratio with the TTC range of your mount and the extra width of the motor can. Its easy to say drop down to a 29T spool without knowing what range of gears you have on hand for the pinion and what minimum TTC you can actually run.

yep agree with this!! I was just giving an example of what gearing I ran for higher speeds with the lower kv. But also should be fine as the spektrum 1250kv is same size as the 1717 as I have them both. Also I have the same PPS mount so again should be fine there also.

He is coming from the 2050kv motors tho, so the 1250kv is a little thicker. I know with small enough gears, the can gets close to the center drive cup. I guess my advice was more centric to his setup than general advice.
