What is your E-REVO top speed?

[jlanders001]

I hit 65.7 MPH today with a 1515 1.5 on 5000 mah 6S. 23/62 gearing. I would have had a video of it, but my buddy thought my camera was rolling when it actually wasn't. I do have a 62.5 MPH run on video that I may post soon.

Blew out my HPI Phaltlines - well one at least. They glue those on top of the "chrome". Lousy.

Anyone hit a higher top speed than this? I think I could hit 70 or close to 80 with the right gearing. I could tell that gearing was the limiting factor.

Heat was no issue at all. After multiple speed runs and 15 minuets of hardcore bashing, my motor temp was 151 and my MMM V3 was 155. Awesome set up to say the least. I'm glad I went with the 1.5 instead of the 1Y now. It had plenty of torque on tap, even while geared on the high end.

Mine will go as fast as I can push it.

Got to wait for the 70mm Medusa motor and a MMM

My old college instructor once said... "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should."

I think that saying suits the outrageous powers we get out of these E-Revos well. Just because you can bust 70 MPH doesn't mean you should.

My top speed on a strait was 43-45 MPH on a Twin VXl system, 3S on each ESC, and on stock gearing. I think going any faster than 45 is crazy as is.

Though... I did buy a 2nd E-Revo just for the MMM. I don't intend to ever go over 60 MPH though. I'm more interested in acceleration speeds.

Drag racing...0-45 MPH in 3 seconds... now that's something I'm looking for

[jlanders001]

That's really surprising coming from someone who's screen name has "88MPH" in it. Just kidding ya buddy.

I guess each to his own. I'm not HUGE on top speed, but I gotta admit, today I did have a lot of unexpected fun finding out what my top speed was and if I could even hold 'er together at that speed.

I agree though. I'd take jet like acceleration up to 50 or so over super-wreck-your-car top speed any day. But the great thing is we have both now!

[slvrbowtie]

50 on 4s which is perfect i cant keep the front down as it is.

[DockBrown88MPH]

50 on 4s?! no kidding? man, wish I kept my 2s packs now...

All I have now are 4 X 3s ***** packs. Oh well... just gotta make sure I don't get trigger happy on the controller.

[klrerevo]

Mine is topping out at 35.7 mph 17/68 on my 7xl and mm v3 on 2-2s spc 5000. The motor is staying around 130 and esc at 90 degree. I guess i need to step up to a 6s and new gearing..lol

[thesickness]

98.6mph on 10s with CC 110HV controller and NEU motor 22 tooth pinion stock everything else.

[8ight-e]

98.6mph on 10s with CC 110HV controller and NEU motor 22 tooth pinion stock everything else.

where is the video link to that..

[ccqqmm]

At 68 km/h (radar gun measured) my stock talon tires disappeared....

What tires / rims did you use? Otherwise it is hard to believe...

Yeah would love to see a video, as that puts the NEU at around 100,000RPM
Well with the gearing you stated anyway

[trxbeast193]

WOW. i dont see how thats possible and i would too like to see a video.

[thesickness]

i was joking guys i figured everyone would beat me to death again i was kidding, sorry if i upset anyone.

[jlanders001]

You are "the sickness" aren't you?

[trxbeast193]

lol haha good one. i dont think we believed you anyways. after all there was no proof. lol

[thesickness]

true no proof although i still havent seen any proof of anyones "TOP SPEED" runs on here either so there neeer neener

[MooseDrool]

so there neeer neener

Please Let me enhance that nah-ner nah-ner for you.

[thesickness]

AHHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHHAHAHH thats funny i like the fact that people on this forum have a sense of humor!!!

seriously on other forums people want to argue all the time good times people good times

[MooseDrool]

Glad I could make you laugh.

[intimidattor]

Hahahaha...and yea i know what you mean ....i am in another club and pardon my language but they are IGNORANT..

Well thank god there still hope for mind kind...here

[hockeyplaya20@c]

well 6s v-twin how fast is that? 55 mphish?

[smeyers2]

My 1515 1.5d 4s with 20/62 just hits 50.... Changing from MMMv2 to V3 and 6s this week. Should be a "screamer" (literally)

[D@nooshTRX]

so,could any one post a video of ERBE's insane speed at least?

and DOES anyone REALLY drive ERBE more than 80 mph? is it possible? if yes,I would wonder how crazy some of RC drivers are! 1200 dollar will disappear if you hit an object at that insane speed!...1200 dollar!!!!WOW!

NOTE:
If someone wants to destroy his/her ERBE, he/she can give it to me,instead! .

Proven to speed was just over 90mph, by forum member Over revO. There is video evidence. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Here is the "Fastest E-Revo... CHALLENGE!"
thread

This is the 91.2mph run video.

[Manne]

Yeah Over revO is the fastest so for for what I know. jlanders001, 65 isn´t bad or slow at all! good job! But I was a bit surprised when I saw : "Anyone hit a higher top speed than this?" Because something in the back of my head told me that someone else went over 90 .

[Ray00Ray]

I am clocking 76.3mph on 6s Venoms. But I have been warned about the Venoms so I got Hyperions - still to test um out!

[VGP12]

A calm 44.2mph according to some old GPS. its on 2 3s right now, but I have it geared to run like it has 2 2s. I am ordering 2s batts soon, so I can still run the same speed but not have to undergear, max rpm the motor with little load from low gearing, and be able to gear up. Its getting waaay hot.

[Goglu2]

44-45mph geared 18/54 everything stock out of the box running 2 x 2s 5200, waiting for my Phaltlines and 2 x 3s to measure it again on radar.

[freeagent]

With 6s?

Waay to fast. The math says close to 80 mph.. My finger says 3/4 throttle and its time to let off

[SlotterHouse]

I had mine at 87mph according to my Garmin.

But it was in my trunk when I was heading up north....

?! I can't believe it! 91 mph? W.O.W!!! the fastest RC I have ever driven was a Chinese unknown RC with about 8 mph... (: [or may be this smile] ):

Do remember that the original post is from the end of 2008, a year before the ERBE was announced, and long before anyone was in the 90s with an EREVO.

[Keeshigan]

My e Revo could go as fast as 71.3 mph

[animal26]

i hit 171mph on my E-REVO 1/16

[87 GN]

one hundred seventy one miles per hour are you sure mph?

[mike-susieq1]

that sure would be something see....... it might be km because i havent seen a merv do over 90 yet atleast i havent found a vid

[DomAlucard]

I have no idea how fast I was going today before this went horrible. I'm running a mmm with 25/65 gearing, 2 3s orion 4700 mah 45c 11.1v batteries in seriesand was working up to the fastest speed I could when both front tires blew apart and sent the car cartwheeling. Destroyed the wing and now down 2 practically brand new tires.

[LaTuFu]

i hit 171mph on my E-REVO 1/16

Was that airborne, falling out of an airplane?

A merv isn't heavy enough to stay on the ground at that speed. Nor are there any bl motors I'm aware of that can push one that fast.

[ducati777]

I've GPS'd 60.x mph... not all that fast really. My biggest obstacle are the tires.
