Top speed?

[RC104ever]

I forgot to mention that was without a shell or wing, as the GPS was too big to fit under the shell. Not sure how that would affect things

I would think without a body it would slow it down some. Loosing the wing would help, it would only create drag for top speed runs.
Best of luck, you're almost at 50

That's what I was thinking. I might try taping the GPS to the bottom of the car and putting the shell on the car to see if I can crack 50 with no further mods.

OMG! I just watched the worlds fastest RC10 video on youtube. 86mph?!?!?!?! I guess u just pull the trigger and hope it stays straight

Because you should look at THIS video. They are trying to beat another car that did 162 mph (yes I'm serious)

No question that car was tech'd out, but what's up with that camera work!? That would be like watching "300" being filmed with a Polaroid.

"There it was!"

"Oh, you mean that slight blur that flew by the bottom of the screen??"

They showed a guy using state of the art equipment to develop that rig and then a guy with a BETA max standing 100 yds back to film it...

I usually duct tape my iPhone and run a gps app.

Wouldn't loosing the wing reduce downforce and limit tire contact with the ground?

[RC104ever]

I honestly don't know because all the top speed runs I've done were without a shell OR a wing. I'm wondering if I took off the springs and just let the car sit lower to the ground if that would help too. Hmm...
