![]() No real way of knowing.... numerous members have built cars that top out the 99KM/h limit on the Tamiya speed checker so you need some other way of measuring scale speed in order to determine who has the fastest.

![]() IIRC, almost all the really fast xmods where Gen1's...
It's been years though. ****, my memory fails me.

![]() I remember that winner but the problem is they stated that the speed checker went up to 99 and then looped back to 0 then up to 8 which they took as being 107 but thats not accurate because we have no idea of the logic used by the speed checker once it hits 99KM/h

![]() Speed checkers really don't tell you how fast an Xmod can go because you can use taller gears than would work in real life actually carrying mass and having air resistance. Other than that, of course, it doesn't take into account varying weights of cars. You'd have to actually clock it with a radar gun. I've seen people do it with those new brushless 1/16 E-REVOs.

![]() Check my thread XXX project make your guesses. That car went to 99 then hit 106. No one can verify that 06 actually means 106. That was less then a year ago. Other then that there are videos on YouTube of crazy speeds. My 99+ kmh car used .. Locked diff, V2.2, 4 lithium AA cells, 18g wire, and Atomic Chilli motor.

![]() I will have to check that out.... I do remember Zippo885 or someone doing a brushless. I don't remember speed results being posted but maybe they were.

![]() cowboysir's brushless gto, (if i am remembering the correct person) had a sidewinder or mamba brushless in a gen 1.
i know my subawow maxed the dyno with normal size tires, locked diff, nos aluminum chassis, lipo, and custom wound motor. i only ran my brushless (pocket change) on the dyno with some low gearing and it was the lower kv motor. i do have plans to do a gen 1 with higher kv motor sometime over this next year. yep it was cowboysir03's

![]() If memory serves right, mnm also had a very low wind brushed motor that had an absurd top speed.
Cheers, Kyle.

It was a successful venture in that i was able to put it together from a scratch hand built chassis. It was a Mamba/6800KV with very tall gearing and vibrated apart at high speed bench testing. ![]() The whole "fastest xmod" thing really depends on your definiton of xmods in general....whether it the parts that make it "xmod" or the electronics that make it so. I've been thinking of a real usuable high speed effort lately...a 1/24th scale project that could do 50mph ground speed would be an interesting thought experiment. ![]() |

goodfellaz from xmf did a dyno buster as well, in fact i'm pretty sure it was pocket change before i got it. plasmatomic, liths, 1/18 esc. unfortunately the only way to show true speed would be a radar detector or finding an accurate way of time a set distance at top speed. so until everyone can afford a radar gun or get access to one, the dyno is the standard test method. i do know i used to concentrate on making them as fast as i could, until i maxed the dyno, then its like where to go from there? cowboysir03, i'd be interested in working with you on coming up with a few projects to are insanely fast, but still drivable. hit me up on pm if you want.

![]() Well I won't acknowledge an Xmod as "the fastest Xmod in the world" unless they actually check it with a radar gun of some sort. Its up to everyone else how they interpret it of course
![]() It of course would cost extra, but if your wanting to have a real record it clearly is going to cost some money. Edit: There is a hot wheels radar gun that is a REAL radar gun and relatively accurate. It can measure up to 100mph and will work on small r/c cars. This can be had for $25 dollars SHIPPED. Just as cheap as the speed checker. There is also some relatively good hacks for it. Check it out ----> http://www.edparadis.com/radar/ Last edited by Action B; 12-11-2009 at 07:53 PM.. |

![]() Didn't Brick Moder do something fast too?
And way back that guy that sold decals built one of the first 40mph xmods, along wit Team MNM.... I remember Moebrown(40?)'s Impala motors that where used for fast xmods... Performance Xmods/Underground Xmods made some rediculously fast motors along that had to be run on Ph2t's Stacked Nelly's.... Who else? I know there's a few others that where fast. Gives me an itchin' to build something again. Too bad I'm broke. ![]()
