Video: Randy's "Spare Parts" car - 81 mph






Randy's 81 mph pass. Gearing is 32/81 with a 2.25 transmission ratio.

Randy had this to say about the day of testing:

Well, another good morning of testing. I was able to go 60 mph on 2 cell. This is with 4800 Elites. I believe I can still get some more speed out of the 2 cell if I have a little more testing room. Right now I am at my limits of testing where I am at. Its just a little too uneven and lot quite long enough.

My other batteries came in the mail on Sat. so I was able to do some testing on 4 cell. I got a 81 mph run out of it, although it blew over in the process. Other than blowing out tire on the last run of the day, no real damage. I will be able to reglue the tire.

Randy's Spare parts car




This is what Randy has to say about the car:

This is a project I call-Spare Parts. It was built out of parts from many Associated cars.

The chassis is from a rc10
Tranny and arms from a Dual Sport.
Front bulkhead and steering from a rc10b3
Body is from a rc10b3
Wheels are from a rc10b4

I am doing testing with a sidewinder with a 5700 motor, and a trinity 4500 lipo. When its handling well and topped out with that setup, I will swap in my MM and go to 4s lipo. I won't be attending any speed events, unless something comes closer to the mid part of the US. This is just for my amusement. Hopefully I can get some pics to post.
