Road to 200 mph update (Video)

Team Associated and Nic Case have created a new video showing their progress to break the 200 mph barrier with an RC car. This video contains many more details on Nic's car, The SR11. Nic talks about the equipment

The car ,the SR11, is based on the NTC3 and is designed by myself and Curtis Husting.
Power is supplied by a 1521 Neu motor, 12 cell PowerEdge LiPo battery, and the sophisticated power management of a Castle Creations HV speed controller. The gears are the finest made 32 pitch hardened steel version by RW, while the radio will be the Fasst System from Futaba and the tires are from BSR.

Video: How Fast?

Here is a video from "Hermes" from the ISC forums. His car is a Schumacher Mi3.5 on 10s li-po Castle Creations 2200kv motor with a Castle Creations HV-110 speed control. This is what he said about the run:

Well I went out to do a few runs today after some minor adjustments to the wing and a few other things the first run was pretty good and the radar read 27 mph,second run was better 131mph but my son took a picture instead of a video,third run was by far the fastest to date and the radar read 44mph I think the gun forgot to carry the one!Here's the video you be the judge.

How fast do you think it went?

Video: 100 mph brushless Team Associated RC8

Mike used a Castle Creations 2650kv on 6S a 25T pinion, custom fitted 34t spur gear, ofna foam tires and adjusted the suspension to reach these insane speeds.Mike had a couple comments about the run:

We had no need for the gyro, it go pretty straight the way we setup it.

The wing really have a role to play, run a buggy without wing and i guarantee you will lose control over 50mph, it will spin out. :)

We did changed the wing though, the stock RC8 wing had too much downforce and the buggy was lifting slowly the front end, we had no steering over 75mph lol and sometimes it was lifting slowly, that buggy is very controllable!

Its an ofna hi downforce wing that we have cut a part of the downforce...
just to have the right amount of downforce at 100mph.

We set the rear with a slight toe-in, barely, cant say the degree...i have no idea lol

we try to have the best contact with the road with the camber.
And the most important is to adjust them so its the same left and right, everything need to be very precise... if the car slightly pull left or right it will slow it down.

Video: Mike Peperni's 78mph SC8E

This is what Mike said about the run:

We wanted to see what kind of top speed we could get out of the SC8!
the setup had plenty of power to move the truck, but the way the truck is made it is very light over 70mph, sometimes it was getting airborn! We used a Neu 1515 1.5d, MMM esc, on 6S (2X 3S) ThunderPower 40C 5000mah and ofna rubber tires, didnt had the foam tires available at that time...
