Road trip to Joshua Tree NP

Unfortunately, one of the batteries wiggled loose and I lost steering. It’s really time I install these QS8s

Sorry to hear brother,can always be worse...I've crashed cars few times,center shaft got into servo wire once..BAD crash..ill always have failsafe set up from now on..you all wanna have some cheaper speedrun fun,1/10 38t spool turns 1/10 into screamers. Alot easier to build spool than I expected..

Damn bro that sucks! Definitely can't go wrong with QS8's or at least make sure to tape your connections. Any major damage besides the splitter and body?

Just the superficial damage. I was rushing and didn’t normally strap the wires in with the battery straps.

I did swap the 29t spool for the 34t.. it was feeling good too.. we’ll until I couldn’t steer it anymore lol

Well that's good, hopefully next passes go better.
 
German Autobahn - public road not closed off
417km/h = 259mph

Think it's time for speed limits over here....



Pretty rotten acceleration from 390 to 417km/h :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Breaking distance about 1,7 Kilometers.

Had some really nice weather today for how it's been lately...mid 50's and zero wind. I decided to try out a new area for speed runs today. There's a new gigantic warehouse not too far from my house and they have a really fresh 1/2 mile long road for semis...perfectly flat and straight. That road and the new aero mods took the Baby Infraction to 84mph today on 4s, which is new record for it. It's currently running Vendetta electronics, Vendetta 50t, and a 26t pinion. I had planned on going ahead keep running 4s+ in this, but I've since started a new project that these electronics would be perfect in so I don't want to blow them up, so I'm thinking on what I want to put in it. I traded off the Vendetta for a few new 1/10 Touring Cars (my kryptonite), so my new goal for the Baby Infraction is to crack 100, which would not only be a record for my Infraction, but would be a record for me speed running (this and the Vendetta are my first attempts at actual speed runs...the EX07 is on the upgrade list).

I'm looking for a closed wheel 150 capable body.still researching, but I think traxxas 4tec bodys will work

If you have a short wheelbase chassis you will have better luck finding a body.
The slash delta plastic bodies or speed run bodies they have may work.
For my vendetta there isn’t anything close so I’m stick with the stock body for now. I bought the 1/8th jag body but it’s too short and too wide.🤦‍♂️ I think it will be more of an achievement for me to crack 150 with the stock body.

I think your the fastest vendetta, I'd keep pushing the detta body..the lwb 1/10 are 327mm wheelbase...I've seen alot of them .not many swb 287mm...think I'm going with a traxxa stingray body
