Where is the radar or GPS reading??

well i am not gonna lie it could almost keep up with my rustler 3.3 dude.[>:]

That revo does look pretty fast to say the least, but like the above person mentioned; how can u confirm that in fact it can do over 60??

Revomad1

Stock gearing is 15/38=45+mph. It now has 20/34 gearing. Do the math.

iamnot

i can do math all day long
math is not
real world proof

if you don't want
bs called on you

post up some photos/vids
of radar/gps numbers

Revomad1

According to my calculations 20/34 gearing equals approx. 67mph. However, the phaltline tires are 5.5" diameter and the stock tires are 5.75". I would say that 60+mph is a conservative estimate. It probably hits closer to 65mph. The truck is still accelerating when it goes under the camera. I'm also using 30% fuel.

yeah thats around sixy cuz my rustler has been clocked around 65-69 range and it looks about the same speed maybe a lil slower and no wheelies.[>:]

Revomad1

I hope to get a radar reading soon. Until then, believe or don't believe, I'm not going to argue about it.

iamnot, will you do all of us a favor and stop typing like that? it gets really annoying

Revomad1

Wow this forum is full of positive people today!

^^^ I know it!
Revomad nice truck man,she's a screamer!

Not to hijack your thread but MJA how on earth did you get the diffs to stay together with a 3.3? I put my 3.3 in my rustler and within 10mins of running it,I had stripped all the teeth off the gears in the diff LOL......but I polished the sleeve and use an 11k carb haha

jzemaxx

Positive yes, but claiming a speed with no proof...is not valid. If that's the case, my stock emaxx does 104mph with stock titans....its geared for it.

Revomad1

Thanks man! By the way, there is more power and top speed to be had. It was running a bit rich and engine temps were around 235. My low speed needle could be a bit leaner also, but it gets difficult to launch without spinning out! lol

Revomad1

Who makes those little GPS units that are small enough to fit inside the truck?

jzemaxx

Garmin makes it. Its called the Geko.

Revomad1

Thanks. I can't find any on Ebay, where else can I buy one online?

jzemaxx

They usually sell them on ebay....just keep a watch. If not get a bushnell radar gun on ebay.

Revomad1

OK thanks. I'll search for a radar gun.

um i dont really keep diffs they blow all the time but i usually set my slipper pretty loose.

iamnot

no
i will
not

Revomad1

Why not? It looks like your writing a poem or a song.

beer=food

60 mph is over 100 klm per hour, no way that machine is doing that speed . My wrong ?

l did some math, but we have no weights, wind direction, resistance, your tune, road resistance, etc, 60+mph, video with radar gun ay ?

Revomad1

It's not hitting top speed in that video. It needs more space to peak out. It's faster than MOST Revo's out there. Let's just leave it at that until I get a radar reading.

it looks like its haulin a**
