Today I looked around at a dirt parking lot where I bash and realized another side lot that I don't usually drive back to has a crazy long, straight, somewhat smooth dirt/gravel stretch that looks perfect for off road speed runs. Don't have a gps but thinking about getting one just to be able to do an occasional speed run. Would be fun to see what my rig can do.
What kind of speeds could I expect with a Typhon? Its a basher with m2c chassis and multiple aluminum upgrades, so its a little heavy and I'm not planning to build it specific for speed but curious what would be possible as is. Currently running a new Max6 with a Hobbystar 1600kv 4082 motor with 25/46 gearing. Was thinking anything over 60 off road is probably pretty respectable especially without building specifically for it.
Should have pinions 26t-30t delivered tomorrow so I'll be able to gear up a fair amount more. The Powerhobby belted buggy tires are actually more like a SCT tire on a buggy wheel, 4.48in outer diameter, almost a quarter inch shorter than the current buggy tires I'm running so I know that will change what gearing I can run a little.
Any input from off road speedsters would be great!
