T-Maxx Speedometer?
Does anybody know if they make an external mounted speedometer for Nitro trucks. I saw at my LHS that they make a speedometer that you can mount in on-road cars and it tells you the fastest you can get up to and stores it in a memory... I am looking for one that can be mounted on my remote and transmits my speed. Just curious, I looked at Tower and couldn't find anything... You know like in Back To The Future, Doc has one mounted on his remote to tell him when the Delorean reaches 85 mph... I realize that its movie magic but it should be available by now with the advancements in R/C...

Wow, cool but EXPENSIVE as hell... I was hoping somebody just made a speedometer like I have for my mountain bike that measures the tire rotation with a magnet and calculates distance and speed. I could then just mount it to my radio... I guess I will keep searching...

It does more than just measure speed, and the only hop up I wanted at this time. Besides I am not the type to trust a $50.00 raido on my r/c.

I dunno,I havent seen anything like what your talking about,Looks like its either take a loan out on the house and buy that radio system,or get that thing,I forget who makes it I think maybe venom rc or something,but it just takes your highest speed,so if you made some kind of adjustmest you will be able to see if it made it faster or slower.But it doesnt transmit it back to you,you just have to drive the truck back and look down at it.
I think that would be perfect,I would think looking down at your radio watching the MPH grow,you would hear a smash at the other end of the parking lot by not paying attention.
Or if your dead set on watching it by remote or something,buying a radar gun and just setting it up near you would work,and it would read out how fast your going and probally save the highest speed.But im sure a good would run a good bit of money,,Look ebay..Hope this helped
