Arrma Vendetta 104 mph with One Part Replaced everything else is stock ? Impressive

[@derekauclair8251]

Just bought a vendetta a week ago Top speed 66 mph full stock out of the box on 3s lipo with optional high speed pinion gear installed. Upgraded to a spektrum 150a Esc ran 4s lipo stock motor reached 81 mph. Then ran that setup with 6s lipo 107 mph crazy fast Raised the body added belted tires full load on the rear shocks Unreal 107 MPH Thanks for the set up advice

[@earlmoorhead5555]

No problem very cool 😎 speed car for sure

[@treysals]

Wondering if you ran the 4S battery more than just a couple times? I just threw a bigger ESC on my butt trying to find a happy medium between longevity and running as much power as I can. Do you run it hard for us quite a bit or was it just a one and done? Thanks man

[@robertgoldsmith5949]

I did the 150 upgrade and actually went no faster. Fastest was before I added the speed pinion. Still working on other elements, but have upgraded the diffs and the yolks and the ground effects and replaced the motor with identical motor.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

@robertgoldsmith5949 if it went no faster the motor speed maxed out then 👍

[@kevinflanders327]

I can't wait to see how you push this one, but it's surprising to see how planted it was on those passes!

[@old_and_slow5471]

I think the reasons for the vents above the tires might be to let out trapped air to keep it from parachuting, but also to create a vacuum induced low pressure underneath the body as high speed air flows across the topside, to help suck it down to the road. Slick design for sure.👍

[@paulclancy2404]

While cooling but I think more for parachute, you may be right though I think they have a way with computers to test the aerodynamics just like Nascar
