how do u guys measure speed

[dshaffer]

just wondering how most of u guys clock the mph of your trucks. I have an old garmin 2000w gps that i electrical taped to the wing to check speeds i was runnin, worked decent to check the speed, but pretty much jerry-rigged if u know what i mean. I have seen speed sensors for nitro trucks (i think venom), anyone using these? It would be nice to have something small and compact to measure speed constantly, without buying an actual $100 handheld gps just to see how fast my revo is running

strap a GPS to it or buy a cheapie radar gun. If you go the radar gun... Don't clock it yourself. You need both hands to drive LOL.

so in other words you need friends for this...will a box work instead? maybe with a ziptie over the trigger i don't have any friends. but it would be cool to see how fast my e revo goes

that's exactly what i did, strap my gps to it. Just wanted to see if anybody had some better ideas

[dshaffer]

yeah that would work, just ziptie the trigger at wot and then grab the radar gun to check it. Just kidding, that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen!!!! I guess if u were in a wide open parking lot with plenty of room and nothing in the way it might work

I think he meant a ziptie on the trigger of the radar gun

[dshaffer]

Oh, nevermind then. Thought he was talkin about ziptyin the transmitter trigger wot, which would not be a good idea

I have a Bushnell Velocity Speed Radar Gun, it's cheap and works quite well...
