speed tests!!

I was really bored, and I decided to find out what the top speed of my microsizer is in real MPH. I set the car on my treadmill, and turned the speed on the treadmill up until the car wasn't going forward or backwards. With a 2.2 motor and stock gears, my car topped out at 2.6 MPH without using the boost, and 3.2 with the boost. I am getting a set of motors from extrememicros within a week, and if people seem interested I will report the top speeds for those as well. If anybody has ever tried this, please post your top speeds, I just thought this might be something interesting to occupy my time.

yea, but its hard to keep it going straight, it always wants to drift. And when it drifts I overcorrect, and we all know what happens next


**O yea, I forgot to mention: these speeds were attained without a body shell on. I don't know how much the body would affect speed, but I may test it later

doing a parallel dual cell only gives u more run time, not more speed or torque
