35.1 GPS verified - 6 cells on a Novak SS

[RCcarnut]

61.9 mph. this in a bandit though

schulze 18.61, lehner 4200, 11 gp 3300 cells, and 72/28 gearing. Crazy fast.

NetMagi -- what gearing & tires?? thanks

[imPEDEd]

Just did a speed test with the Novak 5800, 7 unmatched 3300's, geared 18/90 with M2K tires (in a Pede). Almost exactly 30 mph over a 200 ft test run. I will have to retest that with more daylight but that seemed about right.

21/90, M2k's, small front tires

Test area was a flat couple hundred foot parking lot. Kept getting 34.x's and nailed the 35.1 on the last run.

Hah! I was just thinking that tomorrow I would ha ve to try just that gearing, or even a 22. Did it thermal?

With the M2Ks up front it gets really dicey at speed. The front end is just floating. As told Swami, not only would you need small front tires but a spoiler to push down the front end would be awesome!

[NetMagi]

yeah, I think it's squirrely 16/90 (my bashing gearing) with m2k's up front. .

Believe it or not, geared 21/90 doin speed runs for 20 mins it was only warm in comparison to bashing at 16/90. A motor works a LOT harder pushin through grass and flingin dirt around. Man, that sounds fun. . I think I'll go outside :P

How do you GPS verify your speed?

1. Get a GPS unit like the Garmin eTrex or Geko (~$100)
2. Turn it on and let it locate the needed satellite connections
3. Reset the Max Speed to 0
4. Strap it to your R/C
5. Drive the R/C on a flat, level surface as fast as it will go
6. Stop and read what the GPS says for Max Speed

Gearing 21x92 6 cell with novak ss
36 mph i have the stock front but the back are a little different in size. I have a friend that is a ref for baseball and he had a radar gun it was pretty cool . the coolest thing is passing people in their cars and seeing the look on their faces
that was also before i got berrings i should try it again

[super pede2]

novak ss 36mph 1800 6 cell i just love the speed

[dirt surfer]

hey what would be the better gear combo for the most speed out of the pede i am just curious this is with the motor being a Novak SS 5800 i have many different gears i just would like to see it go faster when i am on the flats . bashing is a different story

[yamitracker]

40mph
1.10t p-94
2..2400 7 cell
3.duratrax ballbearings
4.Rino gps
5.Full throttle

[Highlanduh]

I was holding off posting in this thread until I could test my D5 14x1 on 10 cells.

Well, I finally did it:

Trinity D5 14x1 @15&deg
10 GP3300's
Duratrax Streak
M2K's
15/93 (same ratio as 14/87)
40.2mph

I had gotten 31.7mph on 7-cells with the D5 and same gearing, so I was hoping for mid-40's, but I guess I'd have to gear up a bit for that.

But hey, 40mph with reasonable gearing ain't bad...

(BTW, on the last pass I ran out of pavement, the 'Pede went tumbling, and broke another titanium front camber link.)

wow. . I thought they were indestructible :P

. . 40.1 wooo


now I REALLY gotta run my SS on 7 cells and see if I can top that

I dropped a roller chassis [pede] from 3 thousand feet. Sky diving.
Probabbly went over a hundred mph easy

I gear mine 18/87 on 7 cell..novak 5800 and prob getting close to 33 mph stupid fast

[imPEDEd]

I can tell you that 22/90 goes really fast but after five runs or so it shuts down. If you want SPEED for a one shot deal and you don't care how long it takes to get up to speed, go even bigger and see what happens. all you can do is have it thermal and protect itself.

Right.....Stop lying.

Anyways, I estimate my Mag Mayhem to top out at around 20mph on 6 cells, and around 23-24 on 7. Just a guess though.
