As I posted in another thread, I recently made my first passes with my limitless v2 and I am hoping to learn to make it faster. I reached 103 mph.
It's a Castle 2028 1100kv motor with a XLX2 esc. Perfect pass springs and a futaba gyro. I cannot figure out how to download my data logs to my phone. So here are some screenshots, with my settings.

Without diving very deep into your data, I'd say get that bad boy driving good at your current speed, then throw more gear in it.
Your batteries aren't taking a hit yet and your amps are still very low. Get comfortable first, but if I was kinda new at it and had your car, I'd gear up about 4 or 5 teeth and make another hit.
 
Thanks for the reply Chris. I actually just put a 54t pinion in it today and trimmed the rear spoiler. Hopefully I will get a run in on Sunday evening.
How long of a distance do you have to make a pass?? Make sure to turn your dual rate way down dlso the car isn't twitchy if you have to use steering input. Turn steering speed down as well. What k8nda tires you running? What's your gearing? Diff ratio?
What lipos you using? Spill the beans bro.
 
Not sure, maybe 1/8 mile. Stock tires still. Was 39 pinion 39 spur. I just switched the pinion to 54. Powerhobby pro lipo 6000mah 120c 4s ×2.
Thanks for the steering advice. The road that I run on is 2 lanes with a pretty good crown.
 
Made another attempt tonight. I couldn't keep it straight though. Hit the curb. 103 again without a full pass.I changed the spur to 54, cut out the center bacof the rear spoiler and the back of the body and removed the front spoiler aero pieces.
No enough rear downforce now ?
 
Turn off the Voltage Cutoff. During a speed run your batteries voltage drops way low at full power. With the auto-Lipo cutoff set at 3.2V your ESC is cutting power and slowing you down.

Watch the first part of this video for speed run settings on your ESC:

I’d also suggest watching this series of videos for car setup: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4IcFmU47-_yEleVtB0_8nFAcpqcoWFDx&si=w9Zi-8N5vETGGQkL
I did do that, thanks!

Right now I still want to figure out why it kept breaking the rear tires loose. I think that I should switch it back to a smaller pinion.
