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
