Catch-Fire's got @ 7700KV but he had in the slower motor in from Sat night's racing
Put loads of lead in the front to keep it earth bound but the bloody thing still wanted to fly We read this 1st from the Mamba Site Quote:

If you want to do speed runs, then you have to belt the inside of the tyre, to try to reduce tyre growth, which is causing your blow out. Although theoreticaly you can acheive 84, the faster you go, the more exponential your problems arise.

That was a bit nuts like.
The second run with 10 cells was a bit mad, the road dried up, so he got it to about 2/3rds throttle, then full throttle and it would lift all four 4 wheels - only the wing was keeping it on the ground. The next run was the 12 cell run, and it had rained - a LOT. Basically, it wouldn't wheelie any more, but on one blast up the road it did a Hammond, at easily over 55mph, and with it being wet Adam stood no chance at all at keeping it off the kerbs, it slid, hit the kerb and made a horrid noise! Quite suprised at the lack of damage really, on first sight I thought it had snapped into a few bits. I have a video of it doing a run on my phone, and a photo of a U-shaped driveshaft. Bit crap though. |

He should try and put a big body on it off one of them big oval cars like the Assosiated L4 but bigger and nitro what are they called?
That would keep it on the ground. A |

Crazy! I like!
Is there going to be another attempt? Need a way of measuring the speed, how clear is the A33 at midnight, and Liam, would your Lupo keep up?? |

but seriously, i never actually realised how quick these mamba brushless' are so quick though! you should maybe try jumping a house, ive seen it on a video on the internet of a nitro doing it, and it survived, no breakage, the only thing was the shell came off on landing.
welldone tho sounds amazing

I got invited to do this afew years ago with a pan car. Me and my Dad recieved a AE pan car, put an airplane brushless in it( this was before brushless) numerous cells and we went through so many tyres to try and make it grip on the cycle dome in Manchester. We had a lazer to count the average on the lap and it took a while to get it up to speed. I had a problem with the car falling down on the steep banks of the corners. The first lap I managed to get it completly airborn off the lazers cover, go up turn 1, half into the crowd and the other half ended up in turn 3. I eventualy got it up to 79mph which felt bludy fast. I did take my Traxxas at the time which got about 50mph on brushed. Would love to have a go at the insane speed run which I think is now about 130.
