Arrma Vendetta TRACKED!

[@EidstaRC]

Where is this truck. Car looks good for a speed run car. Nice driving. I wonder with some GRP’s how it will do.

[@druscanam]

Lilydale, yeah people use for speed runs. They don't make GRP'S in this size. You can put them on but it will upset the handling balance of the car as well as raise the ride height or reduce give you no suspension travel, also you'd need some adapters to make it work too.

[@PlancksTime]

Which track is this? In Brisbane I assume?

[@druscanam]

In lilydale, Melbourne, Victoria

[@116dwi]

Does it push on the brakes? Mine does unless I'm a carrying som throttle while cornering

[@druscanam]

No drag brake on mine. Rolls on zero thottle as normal. I'd get yours checked out.

[@EidstaRC]

Are these stock tires? How do you think it handles. We’ll enough to parking lot race against some Kyosho GT’s?

[@druscanam]

Hoons gold in the Video. Probably only around 5% better handeling then stock elevens but last around 3 times longer which isn't really that long. Handels nice, well balance but limited by overall grip. On a warm to hot day on a preped surface a Kyosho GT running GRP's or sweeps will demolish Vendetta just because the limits before you hit understeer or oversteer are much higher. The main problem on track with the Vendetta on track although it's well balanced it just can't turn in or carry higher corner speeds compared to a 1/8 running up to temp GRP's I have a Serpent Cobra buggy and even that with S3 GRP'S on a good day will beat the Vendetta. However set up and temps need to be on point otherwise they will not hook. The tyres and set up for the Vendetta running hoons gold or elevens will be better for street or less then perfect track condition. On a parking lot yeah, the Vendetta will be able to take the Kyosho on.

Thia ia cool. 2S or 3S?

[@druscanam]

3S although most of the time on this video I'm at 75% on the thottle switch which does give it similar speed to 2S. Also stock factory fitted 20t pinion Near the end of the video I do switch to 100% although if I run at 100% motor gets too hot and ESC goes into thermal when running continuously on track.

[@phillybrc]

@@druscanam Perhaps a 2s is worth a shot. Initially i thought 3s would be alot! Lol. 20t may be big , drop 17-18? I enjoyed watchin !

[@druscanam]

@@phillybrc Yeah I have run x2 2S 5200mah batteries in parallel for long runtimes and to save the tyres. Although on 3S I can just switch it to 75% which has the same effect. Have also run x2 3S in parallel on 75% for extra runtime too.
