My Misbehavin' RC Speed Results for Team Losi 8ight.
Hi all I just did the speed determining test found on [link=http://www.misbehavin-rc.com/pit-lane/speed/g-speed.asp]Misbehavin' RC[/link] and got the result of 60mph exactly with my Team Losi RTR 8ight. It has the Dyamite 4 shoes clutch with gold springs, a chrome OFNA single chambered pipe, and everything else is 100% stock. Is this a good speed? Also since it put my engine under such strain in my opinion I did after-run after it cooled down with the piston at bottom dead center. I have one question. What will it do if I take out the copper spacer under my cooling head?

Why would it do 250mph? it would have to be like 4 times more powerful than mine to do around that....... what the crap FINE I rounded up from 57mph! [&o] Did I mention I have street slicks?

ORIGINAL: Nik.
if your stock 8ight does 60 with the mach engine, mine must go 250mph with my novarossi. Right?

I am going to! However, my digi cam is in FL w/ my brother therefore I will either borrow a camera from someone or just wait until he gets home in a week. what a speed traps? also I saw a hot wheels radar gun that is supposed to actually work... its only 20 bucks so i might buy it and my dirtbike has a speedometer so I will get someone to shoot it at me while I pass on my dirtbike to see if its accurate.

speed trap like the cops use...you hav 2 lines and you time how long it takes to go from line A to line B. if you make itthe rite legnth and have the rite information or are realy realy realy smart and can find the formula to figure that out then you can use the time it takes to judge the speed. are you confused yet?
the hot wheels gun i would think is a piece of junk...its a toy......borrow a real one from a stock car racer or a cop. and use a venom speed meter...thats wat you use onrc cars

Well I have the Dyna-Max Life shoes (4) with gold springs all around, street slicks, Hitec servos, Kit shock caps and shock tower, ceramic metal shielded clutch bearing, but the main thing is the single chambered OFNA chrome pipe that a couple to the stock manifold with a rubber couple that increased the exhaut flow by alot and I think that was the main thing. also I made the suspension kinda soft and lowered it all the way... thats about it.
