My latest setup in my blizzard involves a 550 5110kv motor 22/56ish gearing and a 5s... It's been beat on for ~2 years with the same motor/gearing on 3s. It's been made mostly reliable now. It's dark, so no pictures. I would estimate ~40mph, maybe more. I'll give my hotwheels radar gun a try tomorrow. Getting it to go forward is a bit more challenging that I expected. On snow there is a set max speed, otherwise it just flips over. |

That thing must be scary fast!! Sounds like a lot of fun. I actually laughed after reading your post. Pics/video would be greatly appreciated if you get around to it Also, how have you managed to make it "reliable" with that much power under the hood? I can't help but wonder how it doesn't self-destruct with every pull of the trigger! |

The battery had fallen off a bit by the time I took the video. I had issues with anything over 75% throttle. It would just flip over. |

Good gosh, and I thought my was DF-300 was fast! Mine has a castle 5700kv motor with a 32t pinion and stock spur, but I only run a 3s, that's plenty fast enough for me. I never clocked it, but I'm guessing around 24mph on hard packed snow. You might want to add some type of skid plade or bumper on that rocket if you plan on running it with a body and want the cab to last without cracking from hitting big ice/hard snow piles. I mounted up my old slash 2wd bumper on the front, looks and fits perfect! ![]()

That's ridiculous! Thanks for the vid. And nice bumper idea, I might have to steal that... ^^
