Congrats on the PB with the Typhon!Little video of some of my runs from the ROSSA UK Speed Championships in August.
It's really up to the individual, ....I didn't climb up the tower because I am more used to running my car from the ground level perspective. It is definitely more dangerous though you're right.Congrats on the PB with the Typhon!
Why not climb up in the stand they had setup? Seeing people stand near the car running by at top speed makes me cringe!
Sorry for the slow reply been a bit busy lately and not on here as often.Nice run, I love these Rossa run videos.. Man I would LOVE to run my cars there.. the best speedrun setup I have ever seen hands down. Makes it look easy lol.. Why cant we have something like this event here in the California deserts, around the Mojave??
On that runway with that construction stand, I bet you can see the car from 1500 ft away easily, if not more. Being the UK, did it rain during the event?
What mount are you using? I’m pretty sure you can run larger gearing using the stock Arrma mount, definitely with the PPS-RC. I have the stock one on my Typhon with a PPS front and top and ran 39t on the motor. I also run a pinocchio spool!I did some testing with my Typhon speed runner after adding a radio booster, new Scorched Parts centre driveshafts and general maintenance over the last few weeks/months.
Booster works but no idea how much extra range it will give me and the Typhon ran great with some mild 60-70mph passes made on a very short road locally.
It was good getting out with it again but it didn't last long with my pinion coming loose so that ended play early as I had no suitable allen keys with me to sort.
It did show up though a gearing issue when I went to refit my pinion gear ~ last year I ran 34T pinion and a 38T spur with a PB of 127mph.
I needed to gear up but couldn't as I ran out of adjustment on the mount so I fitted a 35T spur at the end of last years ROSSA events but couldn't test. Yesterday I quickly realised that it was only going to allow me to gear up from a 32T pinion which I was using by a couple of teeth before again I ran out of adjustment on the motor mount.
With that in mind I have used the smallest spur gear that I have left which fits my Hot Racing spool a 31T. This gearing now (29T/31T) should hopefully put me just a head of my PB from last year with much more room to gear up.

Thank you.Sounds like you are doing well. Congrats on the overall PB!
It was around 55 degrees surface temperature when I checked but that was a little later in the day so could have been hotter at the peak.Awesome footage and killer event. I wish I could be there...
I honestly think your traction issues are downforce related.
Not sure how hot the surface Temps were but I have measured 54.44 c (130f) on my road and have never had traction issues. (Grp xm3)
It was great and the two of them were so funny, ...Raz was winding Kev up a lot. Liked meeting them both and it was great seeing them run their cars.@GMballistic ... looks like it was a good weekend..!! Is that Raz with KT ?? ( poor Raz, that seems like punishment )

Any suggestions? What are you thinking...
Never had downforce issues with the Typhon before and it was doing similar speeds June (in the 120's).
After my minor crash apart from the bodyshell damage the rear spoiler was damaged slightly so that is something I need to repair or replace. If you think it will help maybe I'll change the design or size of it.

Cheers Liberty.I have never spoken with Kev, but Raz is a really nice guy. I am sure that was an especially fun event with those two there!
For your extra traction needs I would do something to both the front and rear.
For the front a wedge helps provide downforce and can direct the air over the front shock/tower which will help gain some speed along with the needed downforce.
The rear wing needs to have some angle of attack and it will both work better and generate less drag if it is a true airfoil shape.
