I definitely feel your pain. I tried with my first 2wd and only reached 80mph as well on 4s. It's definitely hard to keep it grounded. I've been watching since the beginning so hang in there don't give up. Tire wise I feel really good with GRP S5's as I run them on my 120mph infraction and they stick good and are less expensive then hoons. They also seem to be available almost always at my lhs. Hang in there bro it's coming.
Dude that is one hell of a bad ass looking rig!! Your pulling sum pretty good speeds bro keep trying......pls! You managed to hit 80 mph so what's 20 more LOL. I stumbled onto your channel a few months ago and have been following you ever since and love seeing all the different locations you get to go to. I only wish I had the opportunity to do that!
Fun project! I did the same with my Traxxas Rally Fiesta ST XO-1. I hit 108mph year in a half ago. And it's pretty much the same as yours. So I know you can figure it out. Keep at it and you'll achieve it your goal. That's part of the hobby. The slash looks mean too.👍🏽💯
Awesome videos!!!! You might want to find a flatter road, usually roads are built with a 2% grade and the road you’re using seems greater than 2%. I love your videos, KEEP ON TRUCKING YOUNG MAN!!!! 🇺🇸❤️🤘🏽🏁 Happy RC’ing Y’all!!!!
Have you considered looking into the perfect pass module. Basically you can go full throttle and it will bring you up to speed smoothly. You can adjust how long it takes to ramp up. You are pretty smooth, but maybe if you don’t have to focus on throttle, you can focus on steering. Also, if you turn down your steering sensitivity and percentage your car will go straighter and need less input on the steering to correct.
Thanks! 😉…I’ve never actually heard of the perfect pass module?…turning the input down seems like a pretty good idea…getting the power to the ground before I run out of range is probably the most difficult hurdle I’ll have to conquer
@@RCKnockout I bought one for my Rustler 4x4 that I have upgraded for speed runs with a Mamba Mosnter X and Castler 1515 2200kv motor. I put the centre differential in with a 50t spur and 25t pinion all in the stock location. If you want to check out some good speed run videos and info, Raz Shifrin has a bunch of helpful videos. And he is the guy who talks about perfect pass. He does some crazy speeds with his cars and recently put out a video series on step by step how to build a 150mph limitless
I’m gonna give the Traxxas XO-1 tires a try. They are 109mm diameter so bigger than the hoons, and rated to 100mph. I believe they are all balanced and everything too
Looking at the wheel, it doesn't look like the tire was actually glued. It might have been (barely) glued along the edges, but the rest appears to have had no glue.
You got this bro! Idk but isn't it better to have the batteries more balanced then just on one side? Like one 3s on the left and one 3s on the right side
The surface seems a little rough n dusty maybe a location change could help I use my local industrial units they have nice concrete and is way more grippy for my car. Ur runs are epic like the exploration of the sport trying out new things to see what work's I've been getting 50mph with my 144001 on 2s and currently using rubber tyres but ur 6s machine is a bit of handful tho I'm sure if u can stick the power down it will fly.
@@RCKnockout true, I have been trying to make slow cars fast the last like years and it has cost me SO much money, I honestly almost gave up on the hobby, but I got a 6s typhon recently which rejuvenated how I feel about the whole thing, hate to be a arrma fanboy but the damn thing just hasn’t let me down! And it does 75 out of the box!
@@jordanbishop8471 I’m kinda the opposite…I’m not really an Arrma Fan Boy…don’t get me wrong I really like my Infraction but my Kraton EXB is one of the worst rc cars I’ve ever owned….and I’ve owned quite a few..so that’s saying a lot….it’s awesome when it works…but it’s never made it through a bashing session without breaking…..usually diff related too
@@RCKnockout MAN actually you should turn your Kraton into a notorious you’ll like it more I promise, it’s just a shorter chassis and different body that is it
@@jordanbishop8471 I like the Kraton as it is when it works…I just need to figure the diff issues out….I need to work on it one of these days so I can have it back up and running on the channel….a Notorious would be fun though…whats the difference between a Notorious and Outcast? Is it just the bodies? They’re based on the same chassis aren’t they?
Hey RC Knockout, I was wondering if you could do me a huge favor and see if that 6000mah battery will fit in the 6s kraton? I have a 6s notorious and I'd like to get one of those batteries
Damn bro way better that the summit lol that actually looked like it was haulin ass get contact foams or check em good to make shure they on there good hoons are drift tires
Do you have a gyro Because it looks like you need one and you should probably get a dumbo rc because your range if you are still using the traxxas remote hopefully you can get 100 miles an hour soon because you’ve been doing this for a long time 🤕👏👏😁
@@RCKnockout I’ve heard a lot of people like the Radiolink RC6GS V2 6 Channels RC Transmitter and R7FG Gyro Receiver Voltage Monitor 2.4GHz. It’s a 6 channel (also 4 channel option) with a gyro and like 600m (1900ft) of range. And is dirt cheap 😉
@@BrianW2979 thanks for letting me know…I’ll have to look it up…I actually have another transmitter and receiver I might try but it should have better range but it doesn’t have a gyro feature unfortunately
@@RCKnockout Another popular cheap remote with gyro is the XTD Flysky FS-GT5 6CH AFHDS RC Transmitter Controller w/ FS-BS6 Receiver. Exocaged RC did a good review on this one
Yes know when to say when step back check out flo pac $100 100mph car build it teaches alot of correct stuff you will b at a buck in no time bro matthew simm is an awsome builder to check out his channel hes really up beat but u deff dont want to get discouraged this is a fun sport lol!! Haha

Thanks for the encouragement man! 👍😉

@@RCKnockout Ahh gotcha, the grps are rubber. I want to try a set of foams myself so let us kno what u find.
I also have a 2wd slash speed build that does 73mph on 3s, yet to try 4s and 6s
@@dominicdaniel379 will do! I definitely need to find some better quality foam tires

Never thrust that preglue always put some glue on
Yep…you’re definitely right about that
Get some good foam tires and get it low as possible Don't give up bro You can do it 🔥👍✌️
Thanks man! 😎
75 is a fast slash though. And it looked really stable. A better runway would help a ton too, but it's not always available.
That’s true…it is fast but not quite fast enough lol…yeah I wish I had a better speed run location
just a bump in the road, don't give up!

Yeah I haven’t found any better locations than this unfortunately….it definitely has the capability to reach 100mph…just needs the grip
maaaaan dont be bummed, i also have given up on my top speed slashes, i am moving onto a felony or a infraction haha

I'm sure it's the location. That road is too narrow to try anything comfortably lol
It’s a typical size road….I don’t know where I’d find a wider road?…it would have to be a street otherwise
How much faster are foam tires over regular tires?
I’m not sure….they have better grip…maybe a bit lighter too
haha. when it just beeped for a solid 2 seconds... also same hahahaah
Lol….yeah I wasn’t happy at the point lol 😂

Yikes. That was disappointing. At least it's not catching the wind and back flipping anymore. Tires were the weak point this time.
Yeah it’s staying on the ground…traction and getting the power to the ground quick enough is the issues
Definitely need a better road to test these top speeds on
If I can find one?…this is the best stretch of road I know of near me
