Well I'm hoping 35-40mph will be the sweet spot.
My new bearings and pinions should be in this week.
My calculated theoretical top speed is 46mph without timing advance. I'm going to try and run my rpm gauge on the wheels tonight to see how the theoretical top speed compares to the actual with the current 13/51 gearing.
Would prefer to real world test the speed but I'm having placement issues on the buggy for my GPS. This damn buggy has less available space then my 1/10 traxxas rustler.
For safety, I'll knock off 5% of the bench test speed for real world speed. The lose should be less then 5% but for safety....
Wish I had some snow to test on. Will test on some freshly groomed beach sand and see how the video and tracks in the sand come out.
