"sometimes you have to slow down to go fast."

or slow down to make it at all...

a resistor type speed control, and a mabuchi 540 would help slow it down, too.

With a three cell lipo...

thats for endurace racers LOL!! when all out bashing(enjoying) you're r/c it's just stupid fun to be outta control

I was always asked why I own a 12r Ninja. The thought process is the bike has way too much power and goes way to fast to handle. I owned it for 6 years and never wrecked it or got a ticket.

It will only go as fast as you let it

Yup,throttles work both ways!

I used to do that when I started racing BITD. My brother in law and I built his Clod up with some of the older sprint car motors (twin Twister 13X3's), re-geared them, added weights, locked the axles and used to pull kids around in the parking lots...it was a blast.

I saw a website not long ago, can't remember how I found it. But this guy used his clod to pull a float in his towns parade. He stored batteries under the float and ran the clod for a long time. I'll have to see if I can find that. He also had a pic of the clod pulling a kid in a wagon. I don't know remember why the 4th of July is sticking in my head. Might of had something to do with that.

Found it. That was easy.
the wagon had a bear in it, not a kid.

that's got to be one of the coolest things done with an r/c car i've ever seen!
