Those back tyres made the difference huh.....

Thet's a fair achievement to crack 100 kmh..

nah, the 100km/hr flat was done with the road rage tyres (the road tyres)

the 103km was just the first, and only run I did with the dirt hawg tyres (off road)

just to see how it would handle

 

[Rossco]

Oh...ok..
Did ya get any more speed out of it though???

How much taller can you go with the gearing??

 

[TheyDontWantMusic]

well it got to 103km/hr

then I went home.. haha

I chucked in a 4s battery a few weekends ago.

The issue again, is lift created by the speed.

This didn't help at all

I had also swapped the suspension, made it lower, and only about 1cm ground clearance, not sure how much that helped.

Then I had a high speed accident.

and went home

shell was duct taped down, one side came unstuck at about 90kph, lifted that side of the truck, veering it straight into a gutter

fun!
