Keep in mind that most of these RCs dont even weigh 10 pounds. Cars weigh a couple thousand. Plus cars run on internal combustion, not electricity, so they don't have anywhere near as much instant torque.

[@happyfuntimemusic7500]

@@Schmoose what are you trying to say?

[@Schmoose]

@@happyfuntimemusic7500 What im trying to say is of course RC cars can get to 100 mph offroad because they weigh next to nothing when you compare them to a car and they produce much more horsepower and torque for their size compared to a car. Its really shouldnt even be a comparison.

[@FarmerFpv]

What you need to do is run grippier tires in the front and looser tires in the rear, Kev. We have gotten a typhon up to 78 mph on the grass on 6s using a leopard 4292 motor. Which is nowhere near as good as your TP motor. I ran Badland tires on the front holeshot pin tires on the rear. It will give you a more forward bias bite. We also used a Futaba helicopter head lock gyro on the starting. The forward bias will keep it from doing a wheelie.

I love how you are preparing a car for a competition and showing the build process. Not making people wait till after so they don't nick your idea

[@Slikx666]

Kevin. A few thoughts for the speed cars. Aluminium wheels will keep there shape better than plastic. If needed you can get them balanced. A vertical stabilizer adds to the car will help at high speed but will affect steering at high speed. F1 cars have them. Don't worry about weight too much as the full sized cars that do appreciate records weigh more than you think. Weight only affects the acceleration and deceleration, so you could put weight on the front if needed. You will get the 100mph, but you'll be chasing 1/2 a mph at a time.

[@TyTheTryGuy]

The competitiveness between you and Martyn is awesome! That along with the cooperation between the two of you and the think tank (Pat,Vinnie,8s Steve,Claire and Ian) this is going to happen!

[@tacticalmattfoley]

I race off-road in the US. Build some tires with double-sided vinyl floor tape you can buy at a home improvement store. It will keep your tires from ballooning by adhering the foam inserts to the wheels. The tire and wheel will still come unglued eventually over time but you won't have catastrophic ballooning and ripping away at high speeds. One other suggestion: the extremely high center diff oil weight robs the motor of its efficiency and power. Without thick fluid in the front diffs, speed is lost. Try something like 80K-200K-80K for a strong all-wheel-drive straight line effect.

[@O.L.D_RC]

Wicked fast! I think maybe a bit wider on the tires for more tread on the ground. She's got to "hook up" with the ground, traction gets speed in the high end. Great start!

[@macnsteezzz]

if you still end up putting the dual motors you'll have more weight in the front as well to help with wheelies even more

[@indianfantailpigeons3464]

Kevin is always so excited making everyone else super excited, to be honest you are really the one that made me so invested in rc cars as I'm new to the hobby, even more excited I don't live very far from you. Keep it up kev

[@guerrillaradio9953]

I saw a video where a guy used the inside tape trick like you did with drywall tape, but used gorilla tape. He seemed to have good luck with it, even hitting the throttle with the wheels in the air. Used a heat gun to bond it to the tire carcass. Hope this helps, 4070 motors are one of life's best pleasures!

[@SpeedSyko]

Kevin, I give you credit for trying to get high mph, I used to do this and it takes so much more then horse power, all the work in the chassis set up is mind numbing!

[@jamiefehr2180]

Kev, with a motor can that long, I would put a spacer or brace under the back of the motor, in case the motor flexes and the shaft bends

[@matyasfabok5532]

The shaft?, rather the cap would start coming off.

[@evanvandevelde9891]

yeah the cap would come off but if the cap comes off (for me anyway) usualy the shaft bends too

[@nickteele169]

Kev I dont know if this has been mentioned on here 100 times already and idk what you ordered for fishing line , but you want braided fishing line my friend.get a heavier weight rated braided line. Also vent the tires 🍻 you will let them breath a bit as well as getting rid of what ever goes in them.ive personally never had any form of good luck with duratrax tires. Literally always strip a hex haha but the build is epic man.i cant wait to see you break 100mph🤘🤘🤘

[@RCKnockout]

I think it’s a lot of fun trying to see how much speed you can get outa your rc!! I look forward to watching the long jump competition!! That things gonna fly super far!! 😊

[@jamesgfid1093]

Go to the locked center diff from hot racing! And belted tires! I have my 6s Typhon Stock wheelbase and I get 83 to 86 miles an hour out of it. But I have a wing on the front to help keep the front end down

[@strykerll562]

Kev i used gorilla tape on the inside of the tires to keep them from balloning and it worked just have to get the strongest Gorilla tape turn tire inside out go around the tire then turn it back right and mount the tire back on wheel

[@DoubleTripleOGfromtheset]

When it gets hot, wet, sand or dirt in the tire the glue wears off, and at high speed turns the tape to one side of the tire, making it unbalanced and ruins the tire.

[@toobadimsad]

[@averytameduck8725]

Just buy steel belted tires, it helped my e-revo vxl

[@sebastianbeck3566]

Kev try weed eater line to belt the tires. I love your videos, keep up the great work!👍😃

[@NeoIsrafil]

Hmm... the fishing lined tires are still ballooning, theyre just a thinner balloon. Those thin ruts are from the tires centers ballooning out but the outer staying set. Maybe do crossed diagonal wraps, drill concentric holes around the hubs and run the line that way. Fishing line has a TON of strength for its thickness, but you've gotta secure it carefully. Congrats on winning, but you've still got more in her too, let's get her going even better!

[@alfa7108]

Nice. Try foam tires. No ballooning and they hook up anywhere including grass. How did your diff work?

[@dahgman3225]

Kev, just a nod to ya, I fish a good bit, you could try braided fishing line, its stupidly strong for what it is.

[@felulaval4742]

Very promising tires, great video. But please be careful with those fishing lines and get them back when they explode in the field, I see all sorts of animals getting their feet strangled in them. And maybe the glue does play into the wheels being badly out of balance? You could try it on your bench, spin them up and see how they behave. Maybe even try a prop balancer?

Sup Kevin great stuff man. I would try duck tape or gorilla tape on the inside of tire. As someone else said. Just turn the tire inside out and put the tape a few times around ,flip them and glue them up as normal. Should stop the ballooning and get more speed. Good luck man keep up the good work.

[@jasonbudd2950Jag]

Epic Vid 💪 👊 Definitely will help getting them tyres tied down. Just an idea 💡 maybe add some ballast /weights to front end, IDK few Oz. I know it's adding weight to car, but should keep front Pinned down & make car more stable. 🤔

When I first saw the title I thought big deal, off-road RC cars have going 100+ mph for over a decade. Heck, I even got my RC8 with knobby tires up to 86.8 mph. Then I realized he's doing this on grass! Now that's something. All the other buggy speeds runs, including mine, were on pavement. If he can get to 100 on grass that will be really impressive.

i have been fishing for 5 years now and i recommend you try some Braided Fishing Line its strong. and you should try putting some small screws in the tiers for more grip

What you need is some proper tires, you should give Louise tires a try. Something like Louise L-T3109B or LT3131B should do the trick.

[@Pablo668]

Awesome. I think you're going to need some kind of front wing on that thing if you want to get to 100mph on that oval, or any oval really. Bit of downforce and even a little extra weight up front will help. Have you thought of modifying an X0-1 for offroad? That chassis can alread do the speed you want, more a case of making it handle. Longer arms from somewhere and some off-road wheels.... Fun to watch at any rate.

[@darealkosmo]

Hey Kevin you should try putting some weight on the front of the car to reduce wheelies. I reccomend using something small and light so you can add more weights and have more weight variation.

[@PaperEater26]

There's this type of fishing string, I think it's called spyder wire, and it is our favorite string to fish with. Strongest stuff ever. Also put a front spoiler on it!

[@carguy7853]

[@Nofacegardener]

Think I'm addicted to these videos! Why are they so expensive!!!!!!😭😭😭😭

[@btickson]

When the tires balloon the diameter gets larger. Therefore you travel further distance with each turn of the wheel/axle, essentially going faster. Small wheels/tires are better for acceleration/drag racing.

[@roweingram2702]

You could try to put a front spoiler if you want more front end downforce... some drag cars do that don’t know if it would help but it would look cool

[@Random_4400]

[@professordoom7953]

I'm sure you've heard by now but you ought to try 40-50lb braided line. Not only will it be the same diameter as your 12lb mono you have here but it won't stretch and become loose like it will with mono or fluorocarbon lines. It is also abrasion resistant.

[@jhawk1985]

Try putting something on the front shocks to keep them from moving. When street bikes drag race they use straps to strap the front end of the bike down to keep the shocks from extending and thus less chance of wheelies. Just an idea 🤔

[@gaberealrc7355]

front low high rear, when u squeeze trigger, rear squats and front rises, leveling out the chassis... level chassis, squeeze trigger, back is lower, less traction up front

[@ramsau543lol6]

You can make cable ties around the tires. I did this at my Thyfon this are super worked.

[@pjromero9002]

Hey Kev, you need bigger tires. Bigger tires will get u a higher top speed, but a lower acceleration. U should try it!
