Limitless Why didn't anyone tell me a 8s limitless would be terrifyingly fun?

[StephenSchandelmayer]

This is my first Street dedicated RC. Got my setup done for now and today I took it out for my 3rd drive. Also just got a radiolink rc6gs and connected (that range is beautiful). But holy hell this thing is terrifying in all the best ways. But there was a lesson learned today, actually 2. First one being downforce is actually quite necessary when going somewhere around 90! (And driving into the wind) A flying limitless is not a happy limitless....Second lesson was street reflectors are not friends, which led to flight number 2! Which broke a shock cap and that's it thankfully. Missed a light pole and a tree by a narrow margin. But there was no sadness, all smiles even after the crash, what a beautiful car. Madness.

Because these secrets must be withheld from the general public due to happiness restrictions and for the safety of the general public against flying objects

People must be restricted on the levels of fun, unbelievably fast RC cars exceed the allowed levels.

Yup.... probably won't be my last but going to try to find some better spots. Super fun.

I'm familiar with hunting "road turtles".

It put up a good fight but I won, because it came out is two chunks. Note the indentation from where it deformed around the screw.

Road turtles I love it!! I am quite certain mine has some stuck in it as well right now

Pretty sure I started with a max 5 and a 5687 motor. Now I have a xlx2 with a tp 56 motor. Forgot what the length is though

Hey fellow speed guys

@StephenSchandelmayer just remember to take an extra look at safety for yourself and others.
I had to stop running near my home and drive 30 mins away so that I can be on a safer road. No chance of pedestrians, reduced traffic, and safer for the car also (less crashes.)

Speed running is a rush unlike anything out there, but she can break your heart!

Yup you have to watch out for everything. This was only 4S @ 80 something MPH.

I modified what you said, just a bit: "Speed running is a rush unlike anything out there, but she can break your wallet!"
