Lett is the head of the design team at Team Associated, a sort of mad scientists' laboratory for RC cars. His modified RC10 L3O Insane Speed Run car posted a speed of 111 mph at a speed-record attempt at Irwindale Speedway in 2001.
That speed has been verified by the folks over at Guinness World Records, and it leaves the official posted record of 59.09 mph in its dust. Lett's record isn't on the Guinness World Records site yet, but he's got the certificate to prove the record is legit.
there you go you nitro people nitro is not faster
heres what cliff used in his speed run
1.Use a Reedy-modified motor with less than 12 turns. Make sure your speed control can handle the turn motor you purchase.
2.Increase the size of the motor pinion gear or decrease the spur gear size.
3.Use a Lehner brushless motor (XL 4200) and Schulze 18-128 brushless speed control.
4.Use Reedy Extreme racing batteries. Use seven or more cells, depending on your speed control limit.
5.Pick a car body that's more aerodynamic. Make sure the front of the body isn't blunt or flat. You want the body to be rounded and smoothly shaped.
first of all, the motor should be a single turn, duh. 12 turns wont do crap when u want speed, 2nd, brushless can't keep up with brushed motors when it comes to such power at that lvl of competition. 3rdly, its not necessarily the reedy batteries he used, its HOW MANY HE USED! my god, do you notice they were all Associated products? man... And with your #5 HOW OBVIOUS IS THAT! omg this shouldbe deleted.
