Awesome graphics!

Taking Juicedcoups suggestion and dropping in a tweeked Factory Works 13x1 that turns 33k @7.2 volts...that's 5k faster than the Superstock BZ...should rip

You just using solid rocket engines? Maybe you need a turbine next that runs on diesel or aircraft fuel?

That's not a bad idea!

Got the duel engine mount in for the 2 stage setup, just got to wire it up...hopefully a run this weekend 🤞...if all goes well, we'll, will hog out the tranny case for a 23 or 24t pinion....then we'll see over 50mph 20250521_212057.jpg Engines mounted to chassis now, not the body 20250521_212734.jpg

Next up will a 2 stage setup...so another one will fire off .5 seconds before that 1st one shuts off...gonna turn the comm on motor, and put bearings in truck(still has bushings)....goal is 48mph
