Tamiya TT-02B Project: NiMH vs LiPo Bone-Stock Baseline GPS Speed Test! (Episode 1)

Welcome to the first video of the Tamiya TT-02B Speed Test & Upgrade RC Car Project! Testing the top speed of a 6S NiMH versus a 2S LiPo battery & thus creating a GPS Speed Test Baseline measurement of a bone-stock Tamiya Dual Ridge XB (with ZERO hop ups!). Specifications below.
Everything is now ready for future episodes of 'Phase 1' of this series that will include a variety of essential upgrades and options, batteries, motors and a couple of aluminium hop-ups. This series will focus on the top speed and the TT-02B as an on road speed test buggy.
Important note: The stock gear ratio of 9.31:1 given in the video is from the TT-02 Touring Car set-up. With the bigger buggy TT-02B wheels/tire set-up the stock gear ratio with a 17T pinion and 70T spur gear is specified by Tamiya to 10.71:1.
