I think R/C cars are running into a wall that sport-bikes have run into, which is an aerodynamic barrier around 200mph that requires exponential power levels to surmount. As a former fighter pilot, I can tell you I can feel massive aero impacts to aircraft configuration changes, such as missiles or fuel tanks or anything else that hangs off the jet. I believe the R/C speedrun folks would benefit more from aero work and suspension work than more volts or more power. Try 3D printing small vortex generators and testing them on different parts of the car with tape and yarn and a gopro to see if it makes parts of the body more slick. Vortices can increase or decrease pressure depending on where you put them. Small fins in front of wheel wells to divert air away from turbulent spinning tires also an idea. Also making the bodies out of less deformable material or reinforcing the lexan, even if heavier, would yield better results from controlled and managed aero than less weight.
A big part of that is that everyone is still making the back edge of the body, and the diffuser, act like a big parachute. Look at the long tail Oldsmobile Aerotech to see what your body needs to look like behind the rear tires. That shape, with a single vertical fin in the center for lateral stability will help your drag numbers immensely.
200 mph is what factory bikes can do. 300 mph is the new goal for motorcycles. The wall starts at 250 mph. Bill Warner went 311 mph in Maine with over 600 hp.
It never surprises me anymore on how new rc's leave the factory, another amazing video my friend, and thanks for the break down that really helped a lot 👍
15 min of pure entertainment, thank you 🙏 I have no doubt I shall watch again! These are the videos I enjoy most on your channel Raz, the montage at the start pulling the car apart with humour added 👏👏 brilliant! Thank you for sharing the details surrounding your run and data logs, many people in the community will benefit from this info, if you could keep these videos coming as this is where your editing talent and humour excels 🙏👏👏👏👏👏 Thanks again
I really appreciate your time, effort, and information. As someone that doesn't have tons of money to spare your videos really help make educated decisions about my build. Thank you
I love the reverse wheel set up. It feels way more natural after all the X Box and PlayStation gaming I've done, because often steering is dealt with, on the left side of the controller. Thanks for the tech aspect of the run Raz. Awesome.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I appreciate your openness and helping other speed runners. You’ve done so much for this hobby, You are an inspiration brother. Love all your vids.
@@PigglyWigglyDeluxe not everyone is willing to share their build. It’s not just in RC speed runs, it in the 1/1 car community as well. Honestly I’m fine either way. I completely enjoy that Raz and many others share information and teach us all the important things needed for speed. All we need to do is take all the information Raz just gave us, and we can figure it all out.
@@j2kinflarc768 I think it’s totally fine to keep secrets in 1/1 racing. There is a ton of money involved with building and prize money. I just appreciate the help, this is a hobby and helping others out is always appreciated. Even with all the secrets exposed, one still has to drive their cars as fast as they can on the perfect road. Not easy!
You should have RC lectures and discussion. RC College. That's why I love your channel. Because you are humble and yet honest about your findings and experience. At the same time it's all a teaching moment for you and anyone of your followers. Let's race the BMW! 👍🏽
From an off road racers perspective you just blew my mind on how to prepare my car for the next race. Good montage that was a very great learning experience. thanks.
Kevin is coming for you bro!! Let’s go!! Get that 205.. also use a ladder to see better.. doing those speed runs on the ground and not elevated is crazy..
Great video, thank you for all the tips and tricks. I just got you're carbon kit and servo for my limitless and cant wait to rip it. I'm shooting for 150mph.
nice runs there Mr. Shifrin!! (as always!!) And have to say I myself always like the technical side in your content. AND SMASHED THE BELL with both my accounts. P.S. pls keep making these awesome vids for us to enjoy
I’m building my first speed pass / drag car. A foam tire bandit with big rock electronics jato rear arms a dumborc x6 tx,rx combo and direct pinion drive. No way I don’t “raz” it on the first shot! Wheelie bar no gyro 😂😂✌️
You are a good dude my friend love how you put your friends in your video’s that’s what it’s all about fun and going fast with the fellas it’s kind of boring when you by yourself🤷🏾 great video👍🏾💯🦾
Fantastic video !!! Thanks for sharing and beautiful work man !!!! With builds like that you have earned the right to say Behemoth as many times as you want LOL.
SERIOUSLY HOPE YOU BREAK THE RECORD RAZ... YA DESERVE THE TILE WITH EVERYTHING YOU PUT INTO YOUR BUILDS... IVE LEARNT SO MUCH FROM YOU... KEEP IT UP BRO... :) :) :)
Why this only has 37k views is beyond me. Your speed builds are among the best I’ve ever seen, if not the best. TH-cam is a strange space, man. Also, you know what I want to see? Take one of those 150+ mph monsters and Fullsend it. Could you imagine the views??? A limitless hits a ramp @ 140 mph. Never been done. Hahahhaha.
@@RazShifrin , I’m back!!! Had another thought. Omg omg. Traxxas X-01 vs Arrma Limitless The ultimate fanboy showdown. Who will win? They both go 150+ plus(cause you built them)Same ramp. Same landing area. Fuc*king send them and let’s see who is the most durable. I understand this would be a very, very pricey video. But I bet you have most of the parts lying around anyways. Might as well do it. Hahahahha. It. Would. Be. Amazing.
@6:19, youre a smart man Raz. Love the new shafts btw. I dont do speed runs like you but got those titanium/carbon v2 shafts coz theyre just simply beautiful! Thanks for the informational vids!
Awesome video like always, can't wait till I'm done building my first speed run car 😂😅 out of all my drag cars 😅 have a great one man !!! Wish I was there !!!!
Wow I was wondering where I was going wrong with that app and I never considered the voltage drop. Correcting that worked out to more realistic numbers for me. Great video as always!
Great video as usual. The montage of the teardown and build was awesome. It’s very impressive how consistently you hit your goal with your builds. Looking forward to seeing the E30 drift build too!
Dope video nice runs. I hope this batteries come out soon 12000mah is crazy for 4s. I wrecked my car over a month ago and haven’t rebuilt yet. Your videos are making me want to rebuild and hit 171 again. Thanks for the inspiration.
As always, another great video...and (bonus) VERY useful info. Haven't had any time to work on the 4Tec 3.0 Corvette speed run car I told you about many, many, many months ago (partly due to my job, and partly due to my buddy Richie (aka Driftomaniacs) moving away (he & I were supposed to build it together)...but, I'll (sooner, or later) get to it (also working on another half-dozen projects, from crawlers to boats). Just curious...but...what app are you using for calculating estimated "top speed"? I've tried a few different (other) ones, but haven't found one I like. The one you're using seems like a good possibility.
Watching your videos made me really want to get working on my infraction. Just with limitless body I got up to 99mph. I’ll soon be trying to get a dual 1717 setup. I just don’t know if I want 2 XLX2 or just a XLX. I plan on doing a bash/speed run build that I can just enjoy driving that looks pretty. Wish it would fit in the limitless body but probably won’t

Love the montage at the beginning. There's always something I learn from your build footage.
At 47 Seconds there is the best tip i saw in all my time rcing ... u gonne be quick to see it thank u RAZ
It never surprises me anymore on how new rc's leave the factory, another amazing video my friend, and thanks for the break down that really helped a lot 👍
That intro was sweeeeet!! Probably a lot of work but I really enjoyed it:)

I enjoy the build montages, always good to watch. Great runs there, especially for cars being run for the first time.
I'm so hooked on these videos. They give me a dose of RC dopamine every day! You'll get the record soon, buddy!
raz your such a great content creator, thank you so much for the great feelings i get when i watch your builds
behemoth is possibly in the top 10 best words. Highly underused. Thank you for singlehandedly trying to fix that statistic
I really appreciate your time, effort, and information. As someone that doesn't have tons of money to spare your videos really help make educated decisions about my build. Thank you
Excellent video as always. Thanks for sharing the information about the build and making our community a better place.
Love the quick edited disassembly and assembly process in the beginning. Very will done! Great video!
Thanks I loved how you went over how you determine gearing
I love the reverse wheel set up. It feels way more natural after all the X Box and PlayStation gaming I've done, because often steering is dealt with, on the left side of the controller. Thanks for the tech aspect of the run Raz. Awesome.

I like the 5 seconds where you can actually see what the subject matter is
Back to diff fluid I see, awesome dude

Love that onboard footage .
Great vid

Bad ass vid man love the build
Very very educational! Thanks man!
Great video, thank you for all the tips and tricks. I just got you're carbon kit and servo for my limitless and cant wait to rip it. I'm shooting for 150mph.
Luv your speed runs, always learn something new every time I watch one thanks for sharing.👍👍👍👌
YO that POV shot was great wish every speed run had something like that
Loving these thanjyou for being so consistent
Thanks a lot for sharing some of the tech stuff for speed runs. it'sreally helpful for us newbies.👍

great video! Fun to watch
That was a behemoth episode! Lots of interesting helpful software.
It’s such a beautiful platform and you have just brought the bolt on game to a whole nother level ✌️🎉👍

Love your videos, always helpful and inspiring , respect for sharing all the details man you are the best
We enjoy watching your content because your awesome and teach us so much. Thank you sir
Great rides guys 😊
This is great. Would love to see some drone footage of these speed runs

Great stuff, always love your vids, 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
Great editing man
Lol.. your builds looks so easy when YOU do it. You must have done this like 1000 times 😁🤘
Nice work Raz.
You have some nice fast runs 👍👍
Great stuff super fast
Enjoyed 🤩😍👊🏻👍🏻
@6:19, youre a smart man Raz. Love the new shafts btw. I dont do speed runs like you but got those titanium/carbon v2 shafts coz theyre just simply beautiful! Thanks for the informational vids!
wish we had roads like this in UK.... mega run x
Awesome video like always, can't wait till I'm done building my first speed run car 😂😅 out of all my drag cars 😅 have a great one man !!! Wish I was there !!!!
WOW that was fast. 👍🏼
Love the videos man you should make a video on how to setup a simple drag build with a TP setup
Wow I was wondering where I was going wrong with that app and I never considered the voltage drop. Correcting that worked out to more realistic numbers for me. Great video as always!
That things a BEHEMOTH that's what she said 🤪 lol
Awesome vid Raz 🔥👍✌️
Great video as always, I see a bit of Kevin talbot in this video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice build
If you paint a clear windshield on a body you could put a camera inside to reduce drag and still get the shot.
Thanks so much for sharing some tips with us. Had a question, where are you getting your wheels at for your runs? Thanks again for what you do. 🙂
I thought this was going to be a POV video, lol you got me 😆
Great video as usual. The montage of the teardown and build was awesome. It’s very impressive how consistently you hit your goal with your builds. Looking forward to seeing the E30 drift build too!
Dope video nice runs. I hope this batteries come out soon 12000mah is crazy for 4s. I wrecked my car over a month ago and haven’t rebuilt yet. Your videos are making me want to rebuild and hit 171 again. Thanks for the inspiration.
thanks!
Can't wait for the 1/5 drift bmw build
As always, another great video...and (bonus) VERY useful info. Haven't had any time to work on the 4Tec 3.0 Corvette speed run car I told you about many, many, many months ago (partly due to my job, and partly due to my buddy Richie (aka Driftomaniacs) moving away (he & I were supposed to build it together)...but, I'll (sooner, or later) get to it (also working on another half-dozen projects, from crawlers to boats).
Just curious...but...what app are you using for calculating estimated "top speed"? I've tried a few different (other) ones, but haven't found one I like. The one you're using seems like a good possibility.
Cant wait to see you break that behemoth record! Either you or Talbot have it in the bag!
Amazing 🤩
Raz, you remind me of Guga but with RCs. "Let's Do it!"
Watching your videos made me really want to get working on my infraction. Just with limitless body I got up to 99mph. I’ll soon be trying to get a dual 1717 setup. I just don’t know if I want 2 XLX2 or just a XLX. I plan on doing a bash/speed run build that I can just enjoy driving that looks pretty. Wish it would fit in the limitless body but probably won’t
