Ok...this will be my last vid (unless someone posts a faster speed) I was having some trouble getting the body clips on the car because it was dark.So I don't actually get the wheels on the ground untill the 2:00 mark. this would normally get edited out but to keep the run legit I had to keep the 2 minutes in there!LOL!

RE: 1st RCUniverse Electric Speed Challenge
I finally found a place to run my Rustler. I am off work all next week and should be able to get out and see what kind of top speed I can reach. The top speed estimator says around 63mph, but of course that is not real world. I am also a little worried about burning up my motor with the gearing, but that is the way it goes if it happens.

RE: 1st RCUniverse Electric Speed Challenge
Anyone used a hot wheels radar gun? I have heard they are pretty accurate. I still want to try this with my brushless evader EXT2. Not that i think i could win, but just as something to have some fun with for a while. The hot wheels radar gun being fairly cheap is about the only way id have to check the speed. Problem is, it would normally just be me out there. hmmm

Read page 2 (Edit, sorry, more like page 4/5, hard for me to tell due to many deleted posts) of this thread or thereabouts. There was a short debate about it, where I said some disparaging things about them, but eventually conceded they probably weren't that bad and we allowed an entry that used one.

Are there any other cheap devices that read speed and are accurate?
I dont have a smart phone, so no way for me to do it there. My wife does, but she'd kill me if she knew i had it strapped to an r/c truck Like I said, probably wouldnt be anywhere around the 50mph mark, but might be fun for me to see just what it would do and post some video[8D]

I use a Garmin Forerunner 301 GPS(101, 201 models will work the same way and are the same size). It is smaller than a smart phone and very accurate. You should be able to find one used on ebay for $50 or less.
just did a quick search and found this.
