Final Brushed Speed Run @poorboysrc

Throwing in the towel for the brushed speed run challenge and moving onto brushless. The NIMH battery packs are too old to get any decent speed, and I gave up on them. This is my TT01R with a 9t Kisby-modified motor, 25t pinion and 55tooth spur gear. I also don't recommend the sky rc gyro it doesn't work well at all. I like this setup; I'll have to make another video with a lipo battery. Top speed was only 33mph.

Well done! 👍

33 with a brushed is a great result.

Great run and agree, brushed is much harder to get speed out of, that's a challenge all on it's own (unless you way over gear the snot out of them). Even with really decent brushed equipment (motor & esc) speed is hard to get, again, without cutting or hacking the chassis and/or gear cover to put on a pinion that way too big (and not very smart for a brushed motor). Brushed motors don't like to be over geared and they really don't like getting hot, over 220 degrees, normal temps are about 180 to 220, I try to stay closer to the 180 or less... Burned up a few in my time... Hint, after cleaning a brushed motor, the windings should still look like copper, if they are turning black or stay really dark, its getting or has been ran hot... No fixing that.

33 not bad at all, that beat’s my 25
