I found my cobalt 12T motor for my voggard T10 on road project. I want to get the most out of it top speed with out going lipo. Can I get some info on what would be a good esc and battery combo to go 45mph or more. I was thinking of a novak T4 and a good battery but which one ?
A friend and I started building a car for top speed runs. While researching esc's I noticed most of them have a 3.5 limit on motors using 2s or 6.5 limit if using 4s.
My question is if everything else is the same (gearing, tire size, etc) would a...

Regardless of gearing, horsepower as it relates to electric RC cars is a function of motor & battery. How much power you create is dependent on motor & battery. The most powerful motor will be a gutless wonder with insufficient voltage pumped into...
Just wondering how I can either measure or estimate my top speed? I have a mamba max pro, 8400 mah ni-Mh battery and a 4600 kv motor, full bearings.
I have to guess that it's somewhere around 30 mph - but wondering what the RC10 ran stock with a 6...

I honestly don't know because all the top speed runs I've done were without a shell OR a wing. I'm wondering if I took off the springs and just let the car sit lower to the ground if that would help too. Hmm...
After many years of wanting to pull this off. And finally actually starting on it. I am now to a point to where I feel like I can show you what I've had envisioned in my head. I'm still a little ways out. Couple more pieces to fabricate. More parts...
Just picked up a Speed Passion Reventon S, but the motor wires are too short. Does anyone know if I can remove the old ones at the ESC? This model has the wires pre-soldered from the factory on the board, unlike the Pro which has terminals. I really...

I don't use anything less than 60w. It's a good compromise, and hot enough to do all your RC stuff. A 40W iron likely wouldn't cut it.
So, it's been a long, long time since I've had to deal with capacitors. I'm wondering if I need some now. I'm trying to get my RC10 truck conversion up and running. It's got a new Reedy StockStar motor in it:
Which, according to the AE site says...

I recently tried getting all nostalgic and set an old techniplus acoms radio in one of my beach scorpions. The car got about 5 feet away then started going C R A Z Y ! The antennae wire was plenty long enough and everything was wired in right....
