What speeds are you looking for? 80, 90 or over 120?I am looking to get into the speed running game. My friend has a limitless, which he likes. would you recommend any other car or setup for a beginner speed runner?
Looking at eventually get past the big 100. But baby steps, so i would probably start out slower then thatWhat speeds are you looking for? 80, 90 or over 120?
I’ll note this stuff down, thank you! I do like Jenny’s RC so I’ll probably go with the V2 limitless. ill keep an eye out if there some salesI would probably go with a V2 Limitless or the Hobao VTE2. Both are solid options.
For a first speed run car you may be better off with the Arrma just for the easy access to Jenny's RC for spare parts.
Crashes happen. You may want to jump on getting the perfect pass springs on amazon that just came out before they sell out.
For electronics you will want the following:
-Strong servo
-Long range radio (RadioLink RC6gs is budget friendly or go nicer for the Noble NB4 (has a perfect pass throttle control built in))
- XLX2 esc
- TP4070cm or 4080cm
- SagaCustomRC mod 1 gears
- GRP super soft tires for starting out
For beginning speed running, for Lipos I would get the 70c CNHL 5k or 6k batteries.
Setup everything with QS8 connectors.

I have been scouting out some spots that would work out well for a speed runner, but we will see how it goesThe other thing to consider is if you have a good road over 2000 ft of beautiful smooth pavement that does not have a large curvature for water run off.
I know you can go east into the plains of CO for country roads and likely have a good spot.
6S in a V2 Limitless.Looking at eventually get past the big 100. But baby steps, so i would probably start out slower then that
If you are wanting just 100mph you can do that in about 1000ft but that is not giving the car much time to breathe.The other thing to consider is if you have a good road over 2000 ft of beautiful smooth pavement that does not have a large curvature for water run off.

Ill take a look, thanks for letting me know@joostin420 had a limitless v2 roller for sale in the classifieds. Might check there before its gone
Found a nice quiet road 1,900 ft long so that should be the placeIf you are wanting just 100mph you can do that in about 1000ft but that is not giving the car much time to breathe.
Yea thats what i was preparing for. As for batteries, 6s would do the trick, or should I look into 8s?

6S would do it easily. 8S is not bad, but the more volts you give a car it is harder to tune it and at that point you are just pushing through things that might be a problem.Yea thats what i was preparing for. As for batteries, 6s would do the trick, or should I look into 8s?

I'll add that higher voltage makes the car more "jumpy" and accident-prone. The lower voltage 4s-6s is considerably easier to learn on.6S would do it easily. 8S is not bad, but the more volts you give a car it is harder to tune it and at that point you are just pushing through things that might be a problem.
Yes. It is easier to drive my car at 65 on 3s than it is on 4S at the same speed in my opinion.I'll add that higher voltage makes the car more "jumpy" and accident-prone. The lower voltage 4s-6s is considerably easier to learn on.
I’m just imagining his faceGoing faster than your friend on 4s would impress him
We can help you with gearing etc.
I’ll try my best, no promisesDon't run into curbs.
