Are you running stock diff gears and just heavier diff fluid or are you running a spool?

Cordless leaf blower cools these cars off fast it good to bring one out there

Excellent video

Take the rear wing off guys on bandits for speed runs

Nice run. Im looking to top that with my setup.

Hey man, I just wanted to make sure my email made it through to you. I was going to see if you could send me the file for the wing (the version you improved/strengthen). I am in the process of repairing the old one you send me but I am not sure how many more times I will be able to fix it! 🤣 Also, do you think it would be an easy fix to make a version that is only 4.5 inches long (making the side fins stop at the 2nd diffuser on the back of the wing/making the wing about 60% the original size)? I can get it the original version printed and then cut it down and glue new side fins on it though so not a big deal if it isn't an easy adjustment. I found I can print them cheaply using CloudCraft (I just ordered new mounts to repair the one your originally sent me. Thanks!

How are you making out? I can’t remember, what transmitter did you use?

Can i purchase both wings?

Where did you get your wing from?

Have you tried messing with the spur size on 4s? IE 23/33, 23/31, 23/29? Also, I'm only making odd # examplese because I read somewhere that having even numbers for gearing (whether mesh or chain or w/e) isn't idea for wear. Especially if all the gears in a set or ratio are even numbered, and it's particularly bad if the ratio is an even or round-ish number like 3:1 or 4.5:1 or 2.25:1.

Nice. That Velineon putting in work doing over 50 on 2s. Is it truly safe/bashable/repeatable/continuous running on 3s or 4s with this gearing? When you're "done" speedrunning it, do you think you could make a drift car out of it or nah?

Can't believe you're running 6s through that poor 3500kv Velineon motor. Doesn't that fk it up and get hot as hell??

So you are running a 3s motor on 6s?

Wouldn't a bigger pinion give you more top end speed not smaller?

Is this the new place in coram?

Nice to race against you in euro truck. Just subbed to you

Great pass I’ve only gone 94 mph on a single 4 s stock trans and axels

Very nice run,,can't imagine, only got a little over 64 on the stock vxl with. Tall gear,,3s very disappointed

Amazing I’m on my way!

One of my favorite cars heee!

What motor you used 🤔

Hi man! Do you use stock magnum transmission?

Put woody on top i dare you

Hi! I'm not too sure what you are trying exactly, and it would be interesting to have an explanation about that. Litterally, we can see the difference between aero and no aero in a straight line. but aero componenets where iniatially made for turning at high speed, and can be detrimental in the straights. That's why LMP use low downforce, and why Chaparal tried some excentric variable pitch airfoils. ANother thing of interest, is why would you want these on a buggy? That's a cool idea, but that's going to load the suspention, and jumps are going to be much more scary (especially if the front wing generates more downforce than the rear wing). I think there's much more to learn from this experiment than just a 2mph difference. And thanks for the video! Best regards.

Excellent video!

😎💯💢🤙👍

What an exciting video (for me anyway)! Thanks so much for doing this! Great results! Here is something to ponder. The physics behind aero drag - if you double your speed there is 4x the drag. At 53 mph your gained about 2 mph vs without aero. You went 106 mph (just so happens to be 2 x 53 mph!) with your car with aero on 6s. If you could run it without aero (which of course you can't... maybe a lot of weight and a prayer would get you close though), you would in theory be able to do about 114 mph (2 mph x 4 = 8 mph 106 mph + 8 = 114 mph!). I may be oversimplifying things a bit but at near 100 mph the extra drag could be quite a bit. Now, I am running the same front spoiler as you but trimmed down to 40% of its original size. The aerodynamics may be a bit different but lets just say I have half the drag you do on the front (my shocks may add a little so 50% seems fair I guess) and lets say the rear wing makes the same drag as the front (it may make more.... it looks more aggressive and has the mounts too.... but it is hard to say as on the back of the car there may be less resistance... IDK). Long story short, I hit a best of 98.7 mph on 3s in my car and a typical run is about 97.5 mph (with some weight added to the front plus my mini spoiler). I am sure the weight slows the car down a little as it may make the voltage sag a little more during a speed run (but otherwise shouldn't have much impact on top speed). I bet with the front and rear wing I would be more around 93 mph on a typical run and maybe an all time best of about 94 mph. I guess I may have to test this..... I was going to run the car today but I was busy and it was a bit warmer than ideal. I also, I am really nervous as my last few runs haven't been great. I get stressed out dong the runs lol. I wish I had a better road! Also, I am running the stock transmitter and range is an issue for me. I think at around 60 to 70 mph I do not have enough downforce and if I hit the throttle too hard, this is where I run into issues with the front of the car lifting (with my most powerful 3s LIPOs). At 80 and above I seem to have enough and the car is planted. I will for sure get it out there in the next few weeks though! I play on cutting down the broken front spoiler to about 60% of the original size and see how that performs too.... should be interesting. Thanks again for doing this! What are your thoughts?

👍🏾

This rear wing look really good. Definitely need to look into getting one of those for mine.

i like that front wing. I see Brian has one now as well. I need to get one for my bandit. im at 96mph so far. trting to break 100mph with that car myself.

congratulations on the 💯 mph club. i see you got a gas money shirt on. do you live around dallas. if so i could probably meet up with you one day.

I've got the same wing I was printing it on my under 2 however and I had to cut it down pretty substantially. However it actually broke off before the run started Super bad luck my question is what filament do you run for the rigidity.

I'm using the same front wing that you are however I had to cut it down in my editing software to print it on my machine. Made a little bit more narrow. What type of filament are you using mine I believe is a bit too soft

With your added wings you just proved a million vids showing these RCs out of control at higher speeds unless you use weights and wheelie bars! You must have a wind tunnel and a team of aerodynamic engineers . . .

Very cool technology

I do see the need for 3d printing . . .

Clearly you totally over geared in the previous vid compared to Traxxas recommendations for the motor. Now you're just a little over geared. I've seen others over voltage the velineon motor but at 6S you're theoretically hitting 77,700 rpm! That's what the calculations would lead you to believe but those calculations also show you should be doing 189mph . . . 🙄 Given all the work you've already done, I'm sure you've seen in Traxxas docs to generally, try to keep your motor temp below 200° F. Clearly you've proven the aerodynamics are working without having to use lead weights. Deleting the front shocks while relying on the flexible shock towers is thinking out of the box! I will have to rethink my approach!

Outstanding video! Thanks for the detailed info on the car. I am still running the stock axles in mine. I will check out what you are running. Have you changed out the dinky 3.5mm bullets on the motor? Maybe yours are 4mm going directly into the ESC? My speed run buddy LightningDad13 showed me some logs of the temp reduction jumping up to 6.5mm bullets (on the stock ESC)…. But I guess that doesn’t apply to your setup. Ave you tried removing the rear wing yet? Maybe do a 2s or 3s run and see how it reacts. There is still a lot of speed left on the table. I don’t need my wheelie bar anymore. It I have just left it in for now.👍. It saved me from flipping a few times but I am debating taking it off. Love the battery tie down. Wish I hard a better transmitter… still running the stock one.

You are an absolute maniac man!😂. The motor took it like a champ. Congratulations on reaching the 100 mph club!🎉 163F doesn’t seem outrageous Could I pay you to make me a new front spoiler for my car? The guy that made mine doesn’t have the stiffer plastic you are using. My email is in the about section of my channel. 👍

Nice run🎉🎉🎉

I had that issue with my Radiolink Tx until I attached a TBS Crossfire to the Radiolink. Good video!

Hi! Can you please give links to the ESC, spur and pinion you used? I also try to build a speed bandit.

Link to STL is broken....

Thanks for the back to back uploads ! Going through them now..... and, you've done a bit of upgrading, like your tires and transmitter(i think). Can you do a video going over all the set up- pas(what were the neon yellow wheels?) pressent...possibly future(or what you wish you you could upgrade ). Maybe links if you can. Sorry, i know i am asking lots and maybe you've gone through em already, if so, which video? Thanks and keep em coming !

💯👍

😎💯👍

I used to be able to do several 3s runs in a row when my car was running the stock power system and in the lower 80 mph range (I never tired when it was really outside however).

whats the relevance of 2s 3s 4s?

Great runs man! That thing looked really stable! I am impressed! I wish I had an ESC I could run 4s...... maybe one day I am going to try to get mine out tomorrow morning ( have to try to beat the traffic). I really wish I had a road like yours with less traffic! I am doing my 1st 3s run with the Hobbywing 120A ESC and it should hit 97-98 mph but we shall see. I think that is the same front spoiler I am running but mine is trimmed down a lot (the plastic mine was made out of was flexing really badly and scraping so I had to trim it and it seems to provide me just enough downforce. For what it is worth, I am not running any rear wing. I don't want to suggest playing with your setup as it looks great..... but maybe if you are looking for more speed down the road no wing might pick up a few mph.... IDK. I have no doubt you can get than car well over 100 mph at 4s as I have seen a Bandit hit 95 mph on 3s with the stock Velineon ESC and motor! Can't wait to see what you do next!

Looking good what gears you running
