Team Associated DR10 Speed Test: 81t Spur 24t Pinion on 2s LiPo

[@flyingfortressrc1794]

Glad to see some DR-10 love. Keep it up. Seems like everyone went nuts on these then forgot about them sadly. Me included... I'll have to get some DR-10 videos going soon. Thanks Tony..

[@Smile-N-Bear]

I think the tuning aspect is very appealing. Your definitely putting in the throttle time. It shows. You had some killer launches! Nice to watch a drag car evolve! Great vid Tony!👊

[@ReadySetRC]

I need a drag racer in my fleet. I'm holding out for Losi or Traxxas. If not this will have to be it. This is looking good Tony👍👍

[@CCxRC]

I'm shocked that Traxxas hasn't released one....but they really shoot for mainstream and huge sales. Not sure this fits the bill for them. They're fine letting us mod them to Drag cars

[@ReadySetRC]

@@CCxRC True😂

[@Krash_fpv]

Alot of drag cars are built on traxxas slash or rustler chassis and lcg kit

[@Krash_fpv]

@@CCxRC traxxas has funny cars w launch control

[@CCxRC]

tory huffstutler this has it too, but in the no prep class you can’t run them.

[@reallythough4591]

Get your rear shocks vertical to the chassis. I bought an extender, and they are now perpendicular to the ground. I also let the slipper out a bit. Just hit 66.9 on 2s, and uploaded the vid a couple hours ago. 8oz weight distributed front of chassis and inside front bumper. I still have to thicken diff fluid, but she flies.

[@mrskunk697]

Stock these are 18/87 gears nets 25-26mph also with a 2s 5200mah 80c LiPo and a 26t pinion 87t Spur nets 35mph. You’ll need to lengthen the mounting holes to allow the motor to come back further but other then that it’ll fit nice. I’ve been messing with my gearing a lot lately I’m at 39/69 now with a 13.5t setup for the 13.5t class getting 53mph

[@Starkster50]

I sure hot racing or Exotek have a plate that will help, my Arrma 3s has the same problem , with a Hot Racing plate I'm running a 30 or 32 with stock spur for speed runs.

[@bryson848]

Awesome video that rc rips on 2s!

[@Martin-pu1ti]

Nice 👍 video on the speed run Tony!

[@whatsintheboxx]

What a nice speedbash. Thanks for sharing your experience. Have an awesome weekend Tony 👍🤙

[@Bassin07Si]

Go to 81/27 or 75/25 if you wanna maximize the stock electronics. I was able to run a 2.95@42mph on 2s on a real Track Mate timing system. Also recommend some rear tires the stocks are no bueno

[@Bassin07Si]

@Gravity Racer GT they both come out to be the same ratio so just whatever is available

[@landenthegoat2776]

you for a link for these

[@Starkster50]

What battery did you use ?

[@connorclark8541]

What tires do you recommend?

[@tedsimington7654]

Thanks for sharing Sir👍

[@DelawareRCMan]

Thats dr10 is awesome!

[@BUILTLIGHTWOUNDTIGHT]

This rig makes me miss my SC10.2 factory team! Running a velineon vxl it is capable of running 81+ mph. On a 3S 5'000 mah 25C.

[@soflorclife6970]

Nice test n tune Like #6 Brother! Would love to see some slomo launches maybe next time 😁

[@operation11charlieinc]

Awesome run brother 💪

[@DeRock401]

Are these cars able to go fast? Like I never see anyone trying to do crazy speed runs with these things like they used to with the 2wd rustler or something similar

[@jonarseagenxuav]

well once it hits top speed the wheels aint spinning any more it should straighten out cuz u cant spin the tires at top speed are the tires belted? oh man this is two years old hmmm

[@bigheadrc]

great video Tony 👊👊👊

[@JesseBMotors]

Looks like a fun Rc 👍🏁

[@robschierbaum]

Great video my friend.

[@Triggered-RC]

My Lucas Oil version is on its way!!!

[@Blowloudpack6996]

Beautiful and powerful car but 35mph is why it feels so smooth wait until that thing gets some chunky gears and you go higher. Then the funnnn tuning comes in lol. I sold mine after i got it to 76mph because it took off into the air at random points. I thought it was a drag car not a rocket ship lol. But i didnt want to risk breaking stuff often. Goood video man

[@covecityboys]

You have DVC disabled?

[@CCxRC]

Yes.

[@covecityboys]

@@CCxRC nice! Only way to go!

[@stevewest7260]

If there is a flat spot to mount a gyro, it probably would help keep it straight on the start. You can buy airplane gyro's for about 15 bucks on Amazon (I've got a few).

[@CCxRC]

Gyros aren’t allowed in drag racing. This car has one that I had to turn off.

[@SuperDrake79]

4:00 about the slow in start. Your slipper was too loose. Mine hammers a wheelie off the start and hits about 43mph at the 132’ with those gears. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I dunno. It’s still fun but once you change gears and then electronics it’s a tuning game going forward.

[@SuperDrake79]

Oh and 81-25 is the claimed sweet spot. Any more and you get cogging

[@CCxRC]

Is that with stock electronics? I had the slipper tightened down all the way. So maybe I need to see if I can adjust the punch or timing more. I haven’t messed with this car in months and so don’t remember where I left it. Just had 20 minutes while my kids were in music lessons, so I charged a battery and brought it to test. But you definitely got better speeds for that gearing. I may have to check the pinion again to make sure it was 24t. That was the last video I had with stock spur and I didn’t change it...so it should be right.

[@SuperDrake79]

CCxRC yeah stock electronics. The rule of thumb for the slipper is to leave the nuts outer edge flush with the screw. Then loosen until it slips too much and tighten up 1/8th a turn until it’s launching fast and true but not so much that it’s immediately hammering to one side.

[@SuperDrake79]

CCxRC I’ll get a video up soon on what works for mine and what I’ve done to it and get some speed passes.

[@CCxRC]

I tightened it because it wasn’t launching hard, but it’s still not. Haha.

[@lloyderc]

I’ve seen guys running no foam in rear tires and 80 wt in rear and 40wt in front

[@bbeckers24]

Wonder why it kept pulling so bad to the right?

[@mrskunk697]

What motor and esc?

[@CCxRC]

It was running the stock motor and ESC

[@mrskunk697]

Ok.....But what comes in them stock? I see they have a kit from $199 then complete card for $350 all I ever see is 3200kv they never list brand and what esc is in it on any models

[@manuel39164]

Why Change it do 81/24 and not 87

[@buickbob666]

You run out of topend speed with the 87 tooth spur.

[@internationaldragrcleague8472]

Useful information test n tuning as team prepares for comps

[@internationaldragrcleague8472]

Bob it’s about reaction times not top end speed

[@leuchiha9238]

how much is this in botswana currency if youre giving it away how do i get in a challenge

[@3props_does]

I noticed that my dr10 got doggy off the line when I geared up as well. If you watch your footage you can hear/see the car even hesitate just before it starts moving. I went to a vxl system and it really woke up. Don't run the slipper to tight or the idler will strip. Ask me how I know🤣

[@brucetheukuleleteacher9008]

3PropS FPV I’m getting some hesitation too! Not sure how to fix that.

[@3props_does]

@@brucetheukuleleteacher9008 I'd try to calibrate the esc per the instructions first. If you have that straight then it could be down to gearing or the factory esc. My car got violent with the vxl esc😁

[@daveshank1921]

Iv owned a huge number of AE 1/10 cars and have overpowered most. I have never stripped or broke a idler gear.

[@codyprice0295]

Steel idler.

[@stevenbutcher8287]

Should get some new rear tires

[@dustinshoop6770]

I hit 40 going downhill with traxxas rustler 84/16 2cell 4000kv

[@STEVOD313]

These r funner with two of them lol

[@STEVOD313]

More fun? Funner??? LOL

[@bryanhoward21]

Why are these so slow. A stock bandit is faster lol

[@CCxRC]

Not sure. An odd choice for sure in the brushless system.

[@kennyH20]

Probably to keep from destroying the stock parts.

[@jameseveritts8113]

Your so slow try 74 36 you might like it better more speed for sure

[@andymtb5714]

First

[@stankakol5195]

Agree or disagree -- one of the main problems with rc drag racing is that the cars are way too squirrely and cannot run in a straight line to save their lives. Plus, who cares about 35 MPH?? Yawn!!

[@buickbob666]

If you cant tune the car to run straight then you cant tune. Half the battle is getting down track
