vxl top speed

[trevdclear]

i finally got a vxl system for my monster jam replica. geared 23/86 is strapped the gps to it and it tapped out at 36.9 without body. the tires where balloning like crazy. i couldent keep it straight.

You should get a 3s battery. Then you could do 50+. On 2s the vxl system is a bit slow.

thtswhat im saving for a 3s lipo and charger

Unglue your tires and tape them then reglue and that will solve a large portion of your ballooning issue

[guardog]

3S and the thing will fly. A huge difference. Tape tires is a must !

[Raptorpede]

Just watch you motor temperatures on 3S as you could easily overheat it.

i know but the tires where balloning and makeing the truck fish tale

The short wheelbase (coupled with 3s) is what's making it fishtail.

Thats true, it wont be safe at 50+ mph. You can how ever lower the truck so it sits like 1 inch from the ground along with other stuff, but that will transform it to a street truck, and i dont think you want that.

Pedes are meant to bash hard and fly through the air, not get slammed and turned into a street rig! That's like the weirdos out there who lower full size deully pickup trucks like they're lowriders, boo to that LOL. Make sure you check your temps frequently running the velineon motor on 3s, it heats up quick! I run 14/56 32p and am able to maintain a nice mix of temps and performance.

This is just one of my runs that I have GPS'd the truck at. 53mph, 57mph on another day but I cant find where I uploaded it.

+1 on the purpose of Pede's is to bash and jump and that low rider 1:1 trucks are moronic. I don't do speed runs but if I did I'd do speed runs with the Rusty, and even with my Slash b4 I'd ever bother trying with my Pede. Thats why my 5700kV motor's on the Rusty and the Slash and Pede sport 3800kV's.

thts the fun part tho. going 70then hitting a 10 foot jump. i went of a little skate board jump at half speed and did a backflip lol.(i landed in a bush)

[O.G.]

You might want to balance those tires and see if that helps your truck track straight.

ok ill try. they seem balanced tho. they dont shake

[SlashDigger]

I like to do speed runs with my pede cause I can There is nothing like making a pede go "stupid redneck fast" My personnel best is 47mph

[trevdclear]

right. thts the fun part going fast lol. specially when i car gos by and u pass it lol
