My DT-03 did 43 until a capacitor blew up. I dont know why. I just plugged a battery in for the first time that day and hadnt even started using it and the esc exploded. Got a refund though
Nobody can see the car driving until the crash and I really find your claim of 43 mph dubious. I'm in Australia also. Here in Australia we use kmh and we only see you adjusting your speedo which isn't even fixed into place then you have the crash and the front arms are all bent and broken but somehow you still manage 43 mph. I really don't believe that. What motor and battery and ESC do you use in this car.I have a Hornet also and fitted a 15 turn core RC motor plus a 2s lipo with full bearings and changed the rear wheels to Louise phantom and my Hornet does not handle anywhere near good enough to even be capable of any speed above 40 kmh. I even doubt my own Hornet can reach 35 kmh . 1.61 kmh = 1 mile. Let's see a better without crashing and actually seeing the car run.
Hey mate, maybe you want to check out some of my other videos. I have been doing speed runs for years now and pretty well known in the community. This pass was not a claimed top speed just the speed registered with a crash. I use mph as I was part of ROSSA and their achievements are ranked in MPH. Also the most views and biggest audience is the US. And also land speed and drag racing still use MPH.
@@StewMac570 still doesn't prove you actually got 43 mph. We could not see whether the speed metre was mph or kph. If you were going that fast , mate you need to improve your video style of presentation and filming because we couldn't see the car till it crashed. And I'm surprised how the speed metre even stayed in the car.for alll we know as viewers to your channel it's a hoax just to get your algorithm from RUclips pinging.definitely cannot tell if this is genuine. I've already checked some other videos of yours and you say you got to 200 kmh in one car. A Tamiya TRF racecar. So tell everyone please what motor , battery and ESC are you running in the Hornet. And mate nobody can see the Hornet in the above mentioned video until it crashed. So we really can't tell what speed it was going except to believe you which frankly having trouble with 👍
@@JimBoBJames-no5db meh I don’t need to prove or make you believe anyone. That was the result of that pass. That video is 4 years old now. I have improved filming. This has nothing to do with click bait. These videos have such low views it will never get close to the algorithm. The setup in the Hornet was a track start 120amp 1/8 esc, 5700 kv motor running 3s. The gearbox was modified to fit a much larger pinion. The car had plenty of just made parts to lower and change the geometry to try to make it handle better. This is the best vid of the Hornet. ruclips.net/video/AmJRoFJlmjA/видео.htmlsi=3xJmWPWXsOvqlyTo
When you use a larger motor they are basically used to destroy tires. Not good racers. I raced a stock class "run what you brung" TSA Class "Technology Students of America" in 1992 most schools had Hornets including mine so I brought my RC10T and tackle box full of parts. I won by 26 laps in the 4 min main.
Not true. All they need is a front splitter to keep traction on the front wheels. Also i find that they hold a straight line better with the stock skinnies on the front
@@gabrielpichardo1492 I have a four wheel drive car with a brushless motor and lion batteries and trust me it out performs the grasshopper by a ratio of 10 to 1 ...the grasshopper and hornet are from the eighties the tech from today is far superior
Lol i made a rising fighter that does 28 mph. Feels like it's doing a lot more!
The clip holder snapped what should I do to fix it without getting a new chassis

Very odd
Great run bro
Dude! That’s cool! Too bad those old school cars are brittle. But fun!
I built a grasshopper that went 60. My current build will hopefully do 100mph.
Nice
Sure mate from a Tamiya Hornet or Grasshopper? What drugs are you using?
Did the aluminium arms bend?
Great bird of hope the arms are 3D printed. I think only the top mount broke.
Nice
Did the tower on the chassis break ?
Nah it was the Ampro 3D printed mount that broke.
@@StewMac570 try aluminum towers theyre better and when they bend they are super easy to bend back
its better to get down onyour knees so you have a better view with rc cars, standing sux.
So you're saying little people are better RC navigators?
Yup totally agree. Kinda like Trump does with Putin.

The hornet and grasshopper are useless at higher speeds
Raleighburner15 Hynes yes but it was fun to try.
I have other Tamiya’s that are a little faster.

A little faster my ass 125mph is not just a little faster than 45mph 👍
