This is my 9th attempt at a top speed test for the Fil @poorboysrc Tamiya TT01 / TT02 Speed Challenge 2023. There are 2 classes in this competition, one for brushless 2 & 3S LiPo cars and the one I'm entering, brushed motors and 6/7 cell NiMh batteries. My main focus now isn't winning but to beat that pesky Craig @theoagrc , he is now topping 30mph but his car set on fire last time out! I have another friendly challenger across the pond, Paul @Paul_CoughinCornersRC who just pipped my 40mph last time out. Can I beat his 41mph?
In this video I run my new LRP V10 Spec.6, 10x2T brushed motor and higher gearing of 27/64, and a 7 cell, 8.4v battery. Having hit 40mph on my last run, can I improve? It's not going to be easy!
Many thanks to my mate Rob @robbrennanrc for the help and filming of this speed run attempt. Again, no squirrels were harmed in the making of this video...
