The .18 in the Magnum is incredibly easy to get started and keep running. The adjustments are very easy. I am not sure if this is because of my learning on the difficult engine in my Matrix, or if it is just an easy engine period. I bought a starter box that will work with BOTH trucks, but i do not think that it will be necessary for the new one, and the Matrix has that Roto-start. I am just glad to have it as a secondary starting option. Tomorrow or Thursday I am hoping to finish the majority of the break-in on it. ALSO, I ordered some other 27mhz FM crystal sets because of the glitching between the AM and FM on this frequency. Since me and someone else seem to keep stepping on each other in this band, this should resolve that issue. It is no fun for either guy to have to sit out while the other gets to run his car. I am new to this hobby....but definitely see how it is addictive.....eBay is getting a lot of my spending $$$.

I hear yeah on the freqeuncy thing. I'm still running the am transmitter in my rs4, don't really get a chance to change it over, that and I'm lazy. But theres like 3 of use on the same am's. I run twice and I'm done to let others run. I got a spectrum I can throw in it but once again I'm to lazy. But again some motors are just finicky, you want a bad motor come over and f*** with this picco of mine. This thing is driving me up the wall! But once again, to many cars not enough time. The old lady keeps me busy for the most part. That and I'm kind of lossing interest in rc car end. This helicopter thing has really got my attention. But once again no time, I bought that cp pro friday last week and have yet to take it out of the box.

I could not let it sit in the box. It would just eat me up if I had a new toy that I was not playing with. I find myself leaving work early to play with stuff here at home....and my boss lives 3 doors away. I would have had that copter flying Friday if it was in my trunk...it would have killed me not to play with it.

 But I take this crap to seriously, I like to race but when I got I spend more time tweaking and adjusting then running. after awhile I end up boring myself. And once again I got to much sh** now that needs fixing or adjusting. I don't know where to start. O well, if this helicopter thing works out I'll be selling alot of this crap and moving that money over to helis.

Looking like a lot of rain tonight. IF it is wet/raining this evening, I will not make it. Hopefully Sunday will be dry.

The rain just looks like it going to be more spotty then anything, its rained here a few times already and the ground never even got wet... its that light. So I will be out there until it pours just bring your umbrellas just in case.

Drag racing next weekend. Bring your cars out, and prepare to run. We've got markers for the scale 1/4 mile, so we've got 132ft to prove how fast our cars are.
Kohls parking lot, at Rt 83 & St. Charles rd. Kohls is on the east side of 83. BTW, holy crap. When we clocked the 528xr powered LSP at 52mph last weekend the engine was spinning about 49,000rpm!!! Thats a tad beyond its 38,000rpm powerband! Little Toys: Hyper One Seven | Inferno GT | Jammin X1cr | Jammin CRT Pro | 1989 Batmobile Replica

Yep, I have factored in expansion into the spread sheet. I'm running 40 series bowties.
I've also got a somewhat accurate adjustment for the center diff unloading. Believe me, it took about 1 hour to figure out the formula for it, then I plugged all the data into an excel spread sheet. The formula picks up its input from different tables. The Hyper One Seven being much more aerodynamic and posessing much less rotating mass will probably be able to attain 60 to 70mph with the same engine. At 49,000rpm with the 17/21 gearing I'll be pushing nearly 80mph. I don't think the engine has enough power to hit that speed though. The true test will be when I get it up and running then we clock it. then I'll know for sure. The best method would be a GPS, but I don't have one so either a speed trap, or a radar gun is the best method at this point. If I really want wicked speed I really need an on-road big block. Thats about the only thing that will satisfy my speed addiction. Little Toys: Hyper One Seven | Inferno GT | Jammin X1cr | Jammin CRT Pro | 1989 Batmobile Replica

.30 really isnt as fast as ud think. Thats cool that you figured out those formulas man prolly took a ton of work, but i dont see a buggy breaking the 70mph barrier. one of those Rody mod RB C5 circuit motors would prolly help with ur need for speed lol

 Blue lambo, on the bottom. Its got the aerodynamics, just needs the power, whether through torque and taller gearing, or RPM and shorter gearing. It also has a 2spd which helps tremendously. My crappy, worn out $70 basher motor put it up to 47mph. The same engine barely has enough power to get a Jammin CRT past 35mph. Its not a true 1/8th scale on-road, however it IS an onroad, and has far less rolling resistance, as well as being much more aerodynamic than a buggy. There is a big difference between a Hyper 7, and a Hyper One Seven. Click on the Hyper One Seven link in the sig to see a profile picture of it. And mike, the 30vg IS as fast as he thinks. My stock 30vg powered Jammin x1cr clocked 53mph with 15/46 gearing AND I didn't do any aerodynamic tricks to it, still had the wing, and I was running off-road tires. The NR 528xr LSP clocked 53mph as well, and its a little worn out (bought it used). I fully expect that a EB Modded 30vg and a 2spd in a buggy will set some blistering speed records. The same motor that can take a 3.3 Revo to mid 40's, puts a Jato into the mid 60's. 20mph MORE. I also have drag co-efficent calculators that can calculate theoretical top speed based on vehicle weight, CoD, gearing, and rolling resistance. However, I don't know the typical drag coefficents of a buggy, truggy, or many other RC's for example. So I can't use it as guessing could really throw off the results. I know the average CoD's for full size cars though. Little Toys: Hyper One Seven | Inferno GT | Jammin X1cr | Jammin CRT Pro | 1989 Batmobile Replica

I think the only real problem your going to have with that one seven is weight. You need a big motor to push it, but a small more to keep it going. The car is either going to be fast off the line or fast at top speed, and the middle I know isn't where your going to want to be. I think the kyosho has more potential, just for weight reasons, but I'm willing to bet that the kyosho probably weights that same as the one seven. But both you and I know that if you want fast electric is the way to go. The nitro's are neat but they can only push so hard, and any changes made will only make tiny changes. With electric changes leaps and bounds can be obtained, as long as the money is there.
