Phew, ok. This isnt my first rodeo at speedrunning, and to say that would be putting it very lightly.
all i do is speedrun cars, i knew it was all i wanted from the very first time i went over 50mph to the time i am writing this build log. Before i get into the fastest car i will ever build, here’s a bit of backstory about me and speedrunning.
got my first fast car, a typhon 6s BLX. Living in urban Colorado i can off-road it, so i made it a street bash, and it was easiest to go in a strait line, so thats what i did, hoons came. 80mph. Optimal greasing came, 110mph. 8s came, 135mph and eventually the stretch to a longer chassis came, with an even larger motor aannd… 152mph.
got a 3s typhon, went down the same path topping out at 116mph, got a bandit, 40mph. (Ok so i left that one stock except for bigger tyres)
so it was all leadin to this, it seems like the limitless is about to do over 200mph, so I’m jumping on the bandwagon, step 1 of the build was, take it out of the box, not take it out of the box and rip it into a billion bits. I tried that with the last limitless build and it was more effort then it was worth, instead, I’m going to buy all of the parts to handle the speed, and slowly add on more power until one of the bits busts, then i will replace it, there isnt a point of buying more then you need, in my mind.
all in all, i got it running on the full recommended power system right now, and it did 91mph, far cry from 240, but for not wanting it all immeatiatly, the plan is i can use the money down the road.
moving forward, I’m putting an 1100kv 2028 motor in it with an xlx2 right now, hopefully to get 140mph. After that comes a 1721 for maybe up to 180, then going to have to work some magic for the last 60mph.
will i do it? Maybe. You never know, but the only reason I’m doing this is to get the hobby farther, and if I can’t do that, someone else will, I’m sure of it. But until i have an update, I’m happy to answer your questions about the build.
