Speed Runners ~ How Fast Did You Go Today?

[Spoc85]

Mine is actually an Arrma Granite so no droop screws. Did come up with a good idea for weight though.View attachment 174083

See how she goes.
If she does continue to lift try and get it onto the front of that bumper. The further forward you can move that centre of gravity the better.

Should make a front bumper outa lead.easy to melt down an make anything.i used to make my own fishing weights.i strapped a pack to front tower on big rock.if possible instead of adding weight try moving packs forward

Why not just use a bowl of mercury. What’s the worst that can happen?

Putting stretched typhon back together. Gonna try something different,gonna do a motor mount swap on kraton chassis.will hold 92mm motor.ram air into open end motor.
ANYBODY THINK OF ANY CONS.(PROBLEMS).
1000 grams of motor in the front change handling?????????I'll have to remove chassis braces.ill mount xo-1 center brace instead

Okay I'm done now misusing this SR thread.waiting on some parts to see how she handles.front end should get better traction.maybe fronts will get as warm as rears on pulls.56×92mm fits stretched typhon with M-mount flipped.

No PB but a couple more 140+ passes under my belt and car ran great and came home in one piece first at 142 with a bad start and second at 144 with a bit better start but lower voltage on the packs.

You got me there for a second Ian. You say in your first line "a couple of 150+ mph passes" and I'm thinking "what the f did I miss" turns out it's a typo. Tell me how much fun it is now that you talk about 140's like it's no big thing. So amazing that it's just natural for you now. Well done brother!

OOPS!! My bad, lol not quite there yet.. Thanks brother, it definitely isn't "natural" feeling yet as I still get super shakey today was one of those days lol. If it weren't for having perfect pass my pulls would have looked like stairs today But it is definitely amazing to go run 140+ mph passes and be a little disappointed it wasn't a PB.. I had never planned to break 120mph originally and now would seem like a slow pass with the Limitless which is just nuts!! I can remember you guys posting about breaking 100mph and thinking that's absolutely insane and no way I'd ever do that Very thankful to have gotten to where I am with a lot of help from all you guys and influencing me to not only start speed running but the competition and strive to push higher as well. Maybe next couple passes I'll be able to officially leave a 150 on here though can't wait for that milestone to say the least!

Woops did I let it slip I've just been waiting tell my birthday on the 28th to post about my 150's Gotta keep the suspense up and keep posting my 140's for now
