So i decided to compare my EB48.4 top speed to my Losi 8ight-e 4.0 today. The EB is setup to run on 4s with a Tekin Gen3 2650kv motor and a Gen3 RX8, while the Losi was pretty much built to see how fast i could go with a Castle 2000kv and Mamba Monster 2 running on 6s, which was a pair of 3s Traxxas 5000mah batteries. Not the best but its what i have. The Tekno has Protek LiHV Graphene 6500mah 100c 4s batteries which are far better. Both cars ran 23 tooth pinions, and the rest of the gearing is stock. Only mods to the Tekno is the M2C Racing aluminum diff housings and rear brace, and a bunch of holes drilled in the rear wing. I also took the rear mud guards off. On the Losi I trimmed all of the kick up off the rear wing to eliminate drag which helped a ton. Both cars ran the same foam tires. The Tekno hit 69.7 and the Losi was 88.2. I know the Tekno would be faster on 6s simply because of the gearing difference and faster motor, even though Tekin says not to run 6s on the 2650kv. Ill try a couple passes just to see what it will do before it gets too hot. I just have to make an adapter to run the traxxas batteries. I also had to modify the Losi motor mount to fit anything bigger than a 20 tooth by filing out the hole so the motor would slide farther away from the spur gear, while I can easily fit a 25 or 26 on the Tekno without filing the hole out.. My goal is to try and hit 100 with it by only using 6s and a bigger pinion. Im thinking a 26 tooth will do it if i trim the wing down...
