Poor Mans XO-1

[YOLOer]

I bought it used for $700

[Gene C]

Did you knock the dust off that car with a 100 mph pass yet?

[YOLOer]

Nope , Still waiting for parts. But I got 91.7 on my Crash.

[Gene C]

Still? Thought you were ready to roll?

[YOLOer]

I was till i discovered another broken part. Its coming tomorrow so lets hope for the best!

[minirevobasher]

Collar bones braking do suck. Same thing happened to my gopro when i had it in my merv and wrecked it HARD. Except mine didnt brake, and it only had a couple scratches. Kinda crappy how that happened to you.

[YOLOer]

Well Todays Runs-


Nothing Record Breaking tho

[Pandee]

I get to 92mph then it just picks up and does back flips.. Do you have the same problem?

[BennyG6]

cut the back of the plastic out where the exhuast stickers goes .. Im tellin you everysince Ive dont that have yet to have any lifting on speeds of 90mph

Got any pics?

[BennyG6]

Got any pics?

theres is a post on here where somemone has done it but Ill take somwhen pics i get back in town

[Gene C]

Wow! lifting??? Is it windy wher your at or is your frontend up too high?

[YOLOer]

Nope it stopped and went side ways again like any air plane wing.

[Gene C]

So with that 2200kv motor you have not gotten it up to 100 yet?

[Gene C]

I get to 92mph then it just picks up and does back flips.. Do you have the same problem?

Are you running with the 2200kv motor in yours or is it the stock setup?

[YOLOer]

No I have not but I think my problem is space. I'm going to try this a few more times before I give up and sell the car.

[Pandee]

Are you running with the 2200kv motor in yours or is it the stock setup?

I run the 2200kv with Mmm and 46spur 36pinion

[Gene C]

I run the 2200kv with Mmm and 46spur 36pinion

You mean 34 pinion, right? That kinda explains the lifting then. Glad you got it figured out with venting the body. I have not seen either one of my XO-1's lift thier nose at high speed.

[Pandee]

No 36 delrin pinion. And I haven't tried the body venting yet it's just frustrating because I can easy hit 100mph just the front lifts then the sides open up and goes about 2 meters in the air doing 4-5 back flips :-/

[Gene C]

Oh lord, this things already geared to the moon. Lol! You might want to consider retarding your timing on the esc. That motor with that gearing is way too much on 6s if your not running 110 whats the point of roaching your motor? Thats a real hot setup. Ran mine awhile ago with the 2200kv motor 25/46 gearing on 6s. It was completely nuts after 70 mph, wheel spin nuts. You must have found good peramiters for that esc. Cheers!

[Gene C]

Thats just insane! Maybe droping the body down or adding some lead sticky weight to the front oughta shore it up.

[Pandee]

I've got weights on the front

[Gene C]

Are you running the high speed wing for the front there? Can't tell from the picture. Are those the XO-1 shocks with E-revo springs or are those the GTR's from the E-Revo? Forgot to mention im running the 8400 mah lipos from traxxas. They do add considerable weight to the chasis. And the weight may not be enough in the photo. Thats a 10 lb car more weight might be needed there. Im guessing your getting up to a faster KPH speed in a shorter distance with the rpm's of that motor and gearing, then the stock XO-1 at which point you may be testing a barier Traxxas felt was unstable...pushing the envelope is what this is all about isn't it? Your in the R&D stage of your mods, not sure on cutting the body for ventelation though. Heard people doing it, can't see how not hacking it up would destabilize driveability at high speed?

[Pandee]

I don't have the high speed front just the stock I have a 5000mah ***** batt 6s il change the front to a speed one lower it a bit more and add some weights and yeah I'm getting to 92 pretty quick probly a 200 meter stretch maybe a bit less

[YOLOer]

Well Theres your problem hahaha. You have to have the high speed front!

[Gene C]

I don't have the high speed front just the stock I have a 5000mah ***** batt 6s il change the front to a speed one lower it a bit more and add some weights and yeah I'm getting to 92 pretty quick probly a 200 meter stretch maybe a bit less

Yah, YOLOer's right. You cant expect that thing to stay on the ground without it. Add the high speed bumper don't lower it yet and loose the weights on the front for the time being. You dont need them if downforce is being applied to front foil. Ease into the throttle too You've got insane gearing and too much torque.

[Pandee]

I like insane lol I have another front in my box I haven't looked at may be a high speed front

[Gene C]

I like insane lol I have another front in my box I haven't looked at may be a high speed front

Yeeuuuppp! That's it!

[Pandee]

Well il swap that out when I get home and another thing is the body ment to sit on the inside or outside the chassis?

[Gene C]

There's a thin channel that runs along the skirt there. The edge of the body needs to be in that channel, otherwise body will flare out on the side.

[YOLOer]

Well Here are my runs today.
In the first crash you can see what I meant by the flying off the road I was describing.

[Gene C]

Where's your video?

[YOLOer]

Here it is-

[ttThree]

Poor man xo1...I would say smart man. I really like when people are customizing stuff. Its all about making it your own. Some people say "dont over do it" I say "do it"....

Its just sad that you broke some stuff, but hopefully you replaced them with stronger ones

[YOLOer]

Yeah on those runs my bearings exploded

[Gene C]

That sucks!

[Gene C]

You get parts yet?

[YOLOer]

Yes
And A new Personal Best


And here is just a pic of the car

Thnks Guys!
