Also, in more cases than one it is not because people are broke, some people don't have the time to put their setups together and when they get them together the weak parts and limited suppliers of parts contribute to build/repair delays.
I am still waiting on stronger parts to be shipped and unfortunately it has taken more than a month since I ordered them or contacted the vendor to see if they can make their current parts stronger.

is that last pass the part where it almost got run over by the SUV? what are this parts that you order that takes months before you get them? i took care most of the wobbles on mine but what i cant get rid of is the steering drag link, as for now i wrap the screw with teflon tape but few passes its back again.

What parts are you waiting on?
BTW, I'm thinking of joining this 140+ mph game. Got my new motor today! ^_^

I am waiting on a stronger battery holder because I chose not to go the strap route and I am also waiting for a steel pinion gear because I proved the stock gear was strong enough to stay on this setup.
I just want to hit the 120+ speeds with the original Kershaw setup I bought. I bought a new two wheel toy to play with instead so I probably will sell the XO-1 after I hit 120 and prove what it is capable of with a video.

This is the new High Gear RC 1725kv 300A 7500W 1/5 motor.
Ha ha ha ha That is too good! Is that a high tech red neck motor by chance? :thumbup:

Yeah man. You can only get it from the south! :thumbup:
[QUOTE=ponie1992;5461590]This is the new High Gear RC 1725kv 300A 7500W 1/5 motor.[/QUOTE]Wow. Sounds like fun.:)
I love these cars..great video, good speed :cool:
Shame this thread has gone sour :thumbdown: jealousy is an ugly thing.
That's insanly fast!
AnthonyV stop flying helicopters and come run your XO1's with us again!!!
For the record, anthonyv has successfully clocked 156mph on his 8s xo1 not just 148mph.
Thanks for cleaning this thread up Mods.
Miles... since the weather is starting to get nice again I may take the 8s set-up out with you guys one weekend. The car has sat on the shelf since January. Has the road gotten any worse since last time we went out there?
This topic has puzzled me for a while. To be honest, at first I had doubts about the possibility of reaching such insane speeds. The reason for that is my own speed run experiences and excitement with a silly Bandit with speeds "only" to around 90mph.
I decided to do some maths to look at the theoretic side for your achievements. I took the acceleration and braking ability of an F1 car. An F1 car can accelerate from 0-60 in around 1.6 seconds. That is around 1.6G. The braking power is even more impressive: up to 4G.
Let's put these figures into some formulas.
From 0 to 148mph is 0-66 m/s. With 1.6G that would take 66/16 = 4.13 seconds.
That would need a runway of 1/2 x 16 x 4.13[SUP]2[/SUP] = 136.5 meter (around 455 ft)
Braking with 4G, it would take 1.65 seconds to come to a stand still.
The brake runway would be 1/2 x 40 x 1.65[SUP]2[/SUP] = 54.5 meter (around 180 ft)
So with F1 capabilities, you can accelerate to 148 mph and brake to zero in around 190m/635 ft.
Formula for runway:
s = 1/2 a.t[SUP]2[/SUP]
s: distance in meters
a: acceleration in meters/second[SUP]2[/SUP]
t: time in seconds
Conclusion: your XO-1 has F1 like capabilities! :cool:
Still amazing what these relatively small cars are capable to do.
decided to update this for anthonyv
speeds of 164mph have now been reached according to several radar guns and some pretty high gearing.
Awesome! Pics and video please!
Miles, you people are gonna want to see video of this claim, right?
148 mph is freaking fast! No doubt you know what you are doing. And you say you got it to go even faster? Can't wait to see a video of it. Keep up the good work!
