Vega's Modified XRay T2'008 Prototype

Vega posted some info on his Modified XRay. He had this to say about this crazy x-ray prototype:

XRay T2'008 results:
Final gear ratio: 0.68 (Pinion 150T)
Its roll-out is: 277 mm/revolution (10 inches/revolution)
Its maximum speed is: 582 km/hour (361 miles/hours)
LOL IT IS REALLY GONA FLY!!

Final gear ratio: 0.85 (Pinion 120T)
Its roll-out is: 221 mm/revolution (8 inches/revolution)
Its maximum speed is: 465 km/hour (289 miles/hours)

Final gear ratio: 1.02 (Pinion 100T)
Its roll-out is: 184 mm/revolution (7 inches/revolution)
Its maximum speed is: 388 km/hour (241 miles/hours)

I will measure the actual speed when I have a chance to run them after testing them (I know that it will take some time to reach the goal).

Vega's modified Tamiya EVO 5

This is from Vega's blog:

This is my modified Tamiya Evo 5. I put all the batteries, and also I mounted the motor. This is what it will look like. I'm going to install:

Motor: Neumotor 1515/3D
Batteries: Thunderpower 3S+3S+6S = 12S
ESC: CC HV110
Final gear ratio: 1.42

The only thing modified is the motor mount.

I have to say, this car has the most power for its size that I have ever seen. Take a look at the spur gear. Its huge. Compare Vega's car to Magnus's car. If Magnus can get 135mph with a Mamba 7700 and 5s, I wonder what kind of damage Vega can do with a Neu 1515 and 12s. This will be exciting to see.

Video: Vega - 2 Tests: 117mph & 195mph on air

Vega is working on a speed car. Here are the details of his tests:

Today I was testing my car on air, half of it was on the table, and the second half of my car was on air (The drive wheel). I didn't find a clean and long road to test my car, but once day I will find it and I will test my car on surface.

I went through 2 tests, and here is my description for both of them:
the first test was 117mph with 30%-40% of throttle, I was afraid while I'm holding the car ad it is running, and then I stopped the car because I lost a screw that I didn't tight it very well. I tight all parts that are not tight very well.

The second test was 195mph, and the throttle was between 50%-60%. Unfortunately, I lost the magnet of the speed meter (Thanks God it didn't go to my eyes). Once it went to 195mph then the meter quickly went to 0000mph LOL, the magnet which I place it on the gear is gone...

Vega's speed run car

Some info on Vega's speed run car:

I just got my new RC car body, digital servo, speed meter.

Here are my modificaion:
The gear ratio was 2.166:1, and now it is 1.5:1.
New Body (Custom Works)
Speed meter: Venom
Futaba digital servo.

These are the specs and background info on his car:

Hello,

I have read news about the fastest RC car in world, and now I'm following the news about fastest RC car on Nic's site fastestrc.blogspot.com.

I have encouraged to build my own RC car and make it as fast as I can according to my background. I'm still reading about everything related to RC car and how to make it as fast as possible.

I have learned a lot about motor, and what factors that can make the car run fast.

My car specifications are:
Chassis: Custom Works Slider Kit.
Drive: 2W Front Drive
Radio: Futaba 3PK
Servo: Futaba S3305 (Maybe it will be changed to a digital servo)
Motor: NeuMotor 1509/2y
ESC: CC HV-85
Gear ratio: 1.5:1 (it will bechanged to 1:1 or lowerif it is possible)
Tire: BSR Purple/Jaco Purple (Currently they are under the testing)
Batteries: 8s lipo

Note:
Total Motor RPM: 1820 (per volt)x 29.6 (8s lipo) = 53872
Tire diameter: 58-60 mm

I'm taking the worst case senario with consideration of factors (weather,air, wind, surface ... etc) that may affect the speed:
Total Motor RPM: 35000
Tire Diameter: 58mm
Gear ratio: 1.5:1

The speed has been calculated according to these sites:
http://www.easy-rc.com/cgi-bin/gearratios.cgi
http://www.teamassociated.com/racerhub/techhelp/marc/JavaMath.html

Theaoritical Speed: 160+ mph
Practical Speed: ??

I took this car from the shelf, and nothing is hand made. All parts are on the shelf without any hand made.Except that I cut a small piece from car so that the motor can fit very well in its place.

Best regards,
vega
