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).

Video: 103 mph RS4

Video: speed run gone very wrong...

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: Has Magnus broken the world record? 135.3 mph?

Magnus's 135mph run?

Setup:
Team Associated TC4
Mamba Max 7700 motor setup
DesirePower 5S 3700mAh 25C LiPo batteries
135.3mph/218kmh

Has Magnus broken Nic Case's world record? Magnus still hasn't verified his speed with a radar gun or speed trap. He is using only a Venom speed meter to measure his speeds. It can be a good estimate of his speed, but only until he gets a radar gun and verified for a more accurate reading. Since it is so dark in the video, you cant see Magnus's car, but you can hear it. See if it sounds any different than Nic Case's World Record run of 134.4 mph:

Nic Case's 134.4 mph run

Magnus had this to say about the run:

I tested with the 5S again today and reached 135.3mph. But i want to verfy it with a radar gun so i hope the one i ordered will be here by next week. But it defently went fast than before. It was whole nother sound from the car (the sound of an over revving motor haha) so it was quicker for sure.

New update is coming in a few days when i've mounted the proper spur. I have the old 75t on instead of the 68t that i've been using the last times.

He says this about the video:

EDIT: Top quality video.. not.. but you can almost see the car lol. But you can defently here that it is going faster than before by the sound of the motor. And as always, I did about 3-4 runs with basicly the same speed. And FYI I will make new runs tomorrow if i get time in daylight.

I'll keep you posted on how Magnus does in the coming days. He posts at Speed Freaks. This is a forum were all the fast guys have been talking about their cars .

Magnus at 126.7 mph?!

Magnus just posted his speed of 126.7 mph He made a couple changes by trimming the body posts and adding winglets on the front of the car to keep it from blowing over. Looks like Magnus is consistent with his speeds. Hes doing really well. Keep it up Magnus! Video to come...
