@@RCBirds Appreciate your comment Dirk. A little improvement coming this weekend hopefully, then the Phase2 car should be built for the following week, fingers crossed
Cheers Fil. Its those little milestone numbers that make it worth it. To me its about PB runs. Unsure how far I can get up the board. This run certainly helped. Roll on tomorrow. A few more tweaks have been made, still non ludicrous at the moment 😊
Once you get that pack fully charged you'll pick up a few more MPH out of it. Glad the crashes were not too bad. I am wating for parts for mine to show up later this week to start rebuilding my mangled mess! LOL! Happy to see you in the 40s!!!
@@AddamsPlayground saw your comment about the crash. Doesnt sound good. I think I got away lightly to be honest. I thought there was gonna be more damage to mine. As for the battery, i am going to keep it as is for the moment and just put that battery in before trying something else. I just hope it is dry next time out 😜
Looks like our summer over here in the UK is well and truly over Glenn! ( all 4 weeks of it!) Great runs buddy, get that new battery fully charged and I'm sure she will be going quicker! Fun video mate. 😊 👍 👍 👍
@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC Cheers chap. Yeah, the temperature has certainly dropped thats for sure. Battery being charged tonight so lets see what tomorrow brings. Dry weather is on the cards though, thats a better start 😁
Great runs. Lihv packs usually ship in storage so 3.8v per cell. That 6000mah will have much more speed once you charge it. I predict over 48mph when it's full charged. Your doing great in the wet.
@@Chuckyshobbies oooh really?? 😁😁 i am new to Lipos. Thank you for that. Knew I shouldve waited and charged it before running it lol. The rain got a lot heavier as I packed up, so glad I finished when I did. Quite enjoying the way it performs at the moment
@@Rob_NABS cheers, very happy so far. Get that big battery charged and get a long run in on another couple of motors, see what I can do before bringing out Phase 2 😁
Hey great improvement and an entertaining video. Thanks for the mention. There is still quite a big lump on my leg where the car hit and I'm starting to wonder if I need to worry about it 🤔 Good luck and there must be a few more mph if the battery is fully charged 😁👍👍
@@PeteWylieRC oooh... doesnt sound good chap. Hopefully there's no longer lasting damage. Went out yesterday with a full battery and it didnt make that much difference really. Had a slightly larger pinion but didnt gain too much. Going to try that ludicrous mode next 🤣
You found a great place to make your speed runs. Once you charge your new battery you'll go faster, how much I can't predict. I think you said in the past you ran the Eurotrucks. Are the Eurotrucks wheels and tires bigger? If so would they fit. You're doing a good job. Keep it up.
@@michaeldorich4485 thank you for your comment. Yes, they do fit. The wheels are M-chassis sized but the tyres are roughly touring car sized but unsure about the side walls. With them being taller I may have to glue the outer wall to stiffen them up. I may try a set this weekend. Can go one of two ways lol
@@michaeldorich4485 only up to touring car sized rally blocks, so no more than about 70mm, although most rubber/foam tyres people are using are around 65mm
@@TamiyaTalkRC still plenty of time. Get that Porsche up the leader board 😜😜 Seemed pretty stable at that speed. Would be great to get it past 50mph at least
@rivierarc yeah, about that.... We live in rural Australia so parts take a bit longer to get here lol We're hoping to reach 35 with our next run, though. Our 959 might end up looking like yours. Not only cracked but red from embarrassment... haha
@@Paul__FC yeah, i didnt think i would see that fast with that 17t motor but glad I changed it to the 12t after though. Yeah, rare earth magnets, not those weak 'rc' advertised ones
@@rivierarc All good, just thought I'd ask 😜 Want to make sure you're getting maximum benefit. I might get in on the next one. I like the brushed challenge the best. With today's brushless technology, getting power is just a simple question of how much power do you want and ticking that box 🤣 The challenge is more so how you can make a car handle that power with low drag rolling resistance yet also be stable. The brushed category still has that element of pushing the motor to its limits of power which I find more appealing 😁
Great results Glenn. Great improvement. Looking forward for your next runs.
@@RCBirds Appreciate your comment Dirk. A little improvement coming this weekend hopefully, then the Phase2 car should be built for the following week, fingers crossed
Nicely done, Glenn! The excitement in your voice when you cracked that 42 was awesome!

Well done Glenn... but I swear I left a comment here when the video first came out!!! Damn the Tube! Hope this one sticks dude! :D

@@LukesVintageRC haha, cheers man! Lets see what today brings, fingers crossed
That's fast for brushed. Great run 👍
@@electricnitrorc Thanks. I was well happy with it but still about 20mph behind the fastest brushed I think...

Excellent work. Is that body magnet mounted?!?! For a 17 turn that's real good.

You did H.V charge your battery didn't you? ie 8.7V end charge vs 8.4V end charge
@@druscanam yeah, correct settings on the charger, not standard lipo settings

@@druscanam it has certainly been a learning curve.
I'll stay brushed.. unsure I could find somewhere long enoigh to go brushless around here
