Finally got a slash, thanks to matt. "thumbsup" my 5700kv will definately be interesting on a track:lol: My run times are longer than i expected with that motor also. I think with a new set of rear tires and lower gears will help it out alot.

 

[harleymon]

ahhh Chris - I knew you couldn't resist "thumbsup"

 

[m0d3ds1ash45]

happy!!!

well today I dialed in my slash intoday comes to find out I need to save for a better battery and im kinda happy with my 20p/90s

Hey Tim

That Trakpower 4900 is a sweet li-po for your slash.

A buck twenty but worth every penny of it - I have 2 of them and i adore them - been running them for 2 years now - not a hiccup.

[harleymon]

Hey you gotta pay if you're gonna play :lol:

 

[m0d3ds1ash45]

yea

yup that's for sure but im still havin fun specially when I was playin out in the road doin speed runs ans I we have this nice little lip in the grass at the end of the drive way and was clearing the driveway like a real trophy truck!!! :-D

 

[chris4207]

Hey, speaking of speed runs. Mine was clocked by our local cop yesterday at 46 mph.

 

[m0d3ds1ash45]

speed run

what gearing,motor,and speed control are u running?

 

[chris4207]

Mamba Max, 5700kv on and 3s (for the speed run) and 15-86 gears. I normaly run 2s lipos. I think im going to get a 90t spur for a little cooler running and more torque. It doesnt need to be that fast.

 

[m0d3ds1ash45]

sweet

im running 8cell ib4600 with a sidewinder speed controll with a traxxas vxl moter and I jumped back down to 16p/86-90s and she runs nice and cool...but if u want a nice running slash run the mamba max with vxl.

Well guys todays the day and the back yard is dry. I want to try to run a couple of test laps back on the track area. So see ya all in a couple of Hours"thumbsup"

 

[harleymon]

Awesome

 

[harleymon]

maybe you could borrow your neighbors trailer for a temp driver stand ???

 

[harleymon]

I was thinkin maybe lay more tubes and run a bunch of laps today. Then, at end of day, mark where tubes were, pull them, and roll the area with tractor and roller.
