Results of USR 2

The Ultimate Speed Run 2 happened November 13th in Fontana California.

Here is a conclusion of the events:

USR Wrap Up

Post ISC Admin on Sun Nov 13, 2011 9:28 pm
Just got home from the USR. I am tired, beaten and a little bit dirty but I had a great time. The turn out was better then we all expected and the weather was maybe the best ever.

I will compile all the runs and get them posted asap. Only two records fell large scale (116 mph) and Open wheel (103 mph) and a few new members were added to the 100 mph club (Brian, Tom, Nick and Tony) Congratulation guys!

Some current record holders seemed to struggle today but it didn't effect guys like Richard Tompkins who might have laid down the most impressive set of runs ever witnessed at an ISC event, out of his 9 runs I believe all but one (spur gear death) were between 111 mph and 117 mph an unbelievable feat out of a 2wd 2 cell full bodied car. Tom Kendall in his 2 cell car worked and worked all day trying to sort out its ill tempered need to go everywhere but straight and then in the his final try with the daylight fading dropped a run of 102 mph to earn his spot in the 100 mph club. Brain B gets the iron man award recording 14 runs in his IC big block dragster with a best of 101 mph. The hard charger award goes to two guys making their first appearance at a ISC race, Tony L in his very first run took the open wheel record with a run of 103 mph and not to be out done his partner Nick Steel destroyed the large scale record on his first pass with a run of 114 mph but that wasn't enough he made one more pass and bumped his own record to 116 mph. (the records page has been updated with these new speeds)

Thank you to everyone that came out to support the ISC in our yearly event only 364 days until we get to do it again.

Road to 200 mph update (Video)

2011-06-01T10:39:00.005-05:00

Team Associated and Nic Case have created a new video showing their progress to break the 200 mph barrier with an RC car. This video contains many more details on Nic's car, The SR11. Nic talks about the equipment

The car ,the SR11, is based on the NTC3 and is designed by myself and Curtis Husting.
Power is supplied by a 1521 Neu motor, 12 cell PowerEdge LiPo battery, and the sophisticated power management of a Castle Creations HV speed controller. The gears are the finest made 32 pitch hardened steel version by RW, while the radio will be the Fasst System from Futaba and the tires are from BSR.

Nic Case's attempt at 200mph delayed

2011-01-17T14:45:00.000-06:00

Nic is making sure everything is in working order for his attempt at 200mph. The run will be delayed.

The Jan 16th date has been postponed.

Lady Speed will have to wait a few more weeks.................
Gotta get it right first , then we'll go for the sweet taste of LS.

The Road to 200 - Team Associated: World's Fastest R/C Cars

2010-12-17T15:24:00.002-06:00

From the ROSSA forums:

Nic Case will be running his car on Jan 16th at the Ford Arizona test track. He is pretty confident that he will get 200mph or more. In the mean time I am continuing to prepare my rocket car and will be testing it in Jan or March, depending on weather. The planned speed is 180-200 and 220mph in stages. Also on the horizon is Brett Smith who is building a new turbine car with planned speeds of over 200mph and another team in the UK are building a twin turbine car for 200mph plus. These are only the ones I know about.

It looks like its going to seriously kick off in 2011 and ROSSA will be at the very heart of it all

ISC Ultimate Speed Run 2010 canceled

ISC Ultimate Speed Run August 15,16 2010

2010-07-09T09:27:00.005-05:00

The ISC has announced their Ultimate Speed Run for 2010. It will be held at Heartland Park in Topeka Kansas. Softpacks will be allowed:

Soft packs okay at Topeka only!!!!!!
Apparently the Topeka local practice is to run soft packs and our rules were based on what is run locally here. The hard case rule has been in effect for several months so this really shouldn't have been such a late surprise. Maybe we should have alerted y'all to that change better, maybe y'all should have read the rules closer. Whatever, we really want this race to happen so in the interest of racing unity we are withdrawing the requirement for hard cases for this meet only.

Because of the confusion caused by this issue we must bump the signup deadline to July 8th. That gives you two weeks to get signed up. The ball is in your court. At this point in time there is only one entry from anywhere east of the Rockies.

Looking forward to running at Heartland…..I'm signed up, my plane tickets are bought and my room is reserved.

Nic Case shooting for 200mph

2010-07-09T09:13:00.003-05:00

Here are the latest photos of Nic's new speed demon. This is what he had to say:

Here is the latest on my Streamliner build.
The car is coming along nicely; Area 51 Design Works (Associated) is doing an amazing job with all of their support. I’d imagine this will be a “rock-solid” car – once on-the-way. With all the input of experienced, talented individuals – the possibility of reaching 200mph with an R/C car, is in reach.

On August 15th, at Heartland park dragway -- we will find out if this beast can do it.
The power of a 1521 Neu motor, 12 cell PowerEdge Lipo battery, and the sophisticated power management of a Castle Creations speed controller, will be the propulsion of this wheel driven creation.
The Vulcanized tires are still in the making… The body will be the same CFD developed one as last year. The gears are the finest made – 32 pitch hardened steel, by RW. The radio will be the longest range I know of – the Fasst System from Futaba.

From the ISC:

I've only stated working this Oct 3rd. (Just short of one year from Oct 4th 2008 -Rockingham)

Just got it together last night. I'll be trying a 6s stradegy. I've only got 2 test runs in, the fastest at 155. That was done with lowest gearing that I have --- with those Great RW gears (so quiet)! Even the motor is a little smaller - it's a NEU 1512 1.5D 3300kv - this baby's got some kick!Castle has a new speedo - HV-140 that should be good. BSR made the tires - Love-em. CD Adapco helped with some aero stuff. Same, Stout Schumacher Mi-3. The Power Edge Batteries are Very Strong. I also switched fro the 3PJ to the New Futaba 4PK -- the adjustments are awesome! And it still has 1400" of range! The servo is a digital Futaba - wow is it strong. I have a 12s set-up ready to go (if needed) ;-)

cheers

Well I went out to do a few runs today after some minor adjustments to the wing and a few other things the first run was pretty good and the radar read 27 mph,second run was better 131mph but my son took a picture instead of a video,third run was by far the fastest to date and the radar read 44mph I think the gun forgot to carry the one!Here's the video you be the judge.

How fast do you think it went?

ISC speed challenge (closed course) initial report

2009-09-14T09:53:00.003-05:00

The 2nd closed course event for the ISC was held this weekend at the Major Taylor Velodrome in INdiana this past weekend. The reports are just being posted:

From Mike Ogle:

Just got back from Indianapolis this evening, here's a recap of what went down.

Shawn Palmer set the mark in Open Wheel with a 4WD Schumacher CAT 4wd buggy on foams, 50.57 mph. Also bumped up his own 4WD Stock record to 68.83.

Local racer Tony Fox reset 2WD stock to 80.41, fast lap being a 9.27 seconds.

Steve Cutshaw dusts off his old oval car setup, 6-NiMH cells, D5 brushed motor, enters it into Electric MOD (!!!) and goes 76.38 to claim the new record.

Nic Case bests his own Electric OPEN 83.76 record from Encino with an 84.90 in an incredible thrash session of blowing up and changing tires and showcasing some exceptional high-speed car handling skills.

The Indy host club was as nice a group of people as you could ever meet, Mr. Gerry Pullum went above and beyond to make sure everyone came away with something... a door prize, a plaque, a trophy, or just a big smile.

Really fun weekend, excellent weather, we had a blast... more details to follow...

Quick report from the 2009 ROSSA speed challenge

2009-09-13T17:47:00.003-05:00

Written by Tony Lovering:

Hi Guys

Just back from the event so here is a quick review just to keep people updated. More reports, vids and pics will follow.

The weather on Saturday was perfect with bright sunny weather and we were off to flying start right away. Kevin Simms blasted the UK record set by Vassmar last year at 104mph with a run of 111mph with his Losi XXXs.

I was concentrating on the rocket car and manages a decent run with 1/2 NOS at 58mph. The car went straight so we were all set for a flying run. Next run saw a craking 117mph much to Kevins dismay.

Kevin also was putting in flying times with his B4 buggy of 94-97mph.

Jay was putting in some really ast times with his 2 cell stock car and was pushing the record right up to 87mph.

The final run with the rocket car on the Saturday was clocked at 107mph.

Ken turned up and concentrated in getting his jet car preapared for the sunday.

Sunday came and it was dry but a bit windy. The times were a bit lower but lots of good times were posted in the 80s and 90s. Keving plugged away all day with his B4 and manged to finall break the 100mph barrier. Jony Bast from Sweden plugged away with his 4cell 2wd F1 car and got 94mph. Andy managed a decent 51mph with hos revo. Tom pennington couldnt better the 75mph he got with his xray 2 cell on the first day. Jay and Time were setting decent times and Allan Waterfall and John Veal were having their usuall too and fro on their IC bikes. John managed to come out on top this year with 85mph.

Then there was the final run with the rocket...

The previous runs were pretty good and I knew the car had potential for more speed. As this was the last run I opened the NOS injector up from 1.5mm to 2mm and the exit nozzle from 8.5mm to 9.5mm. I filled the accumulator with over 16oz of NOZ and pressureed it up to 1100 psi and set it up about 200m firther back than the previous run.

Tom hit the ignitor and I waited a good 5 seconds for the heat to build before I pulled the throttle and off she went. The rocket started slow and at about 1/3rd of the way into the run really took off. The car went through the speed trap and started to vear so I tried a correction but it went over and skidded about 100m on its room.

The guys ran over to the speed trap and read the numbers...

163.58mph and a new worlds record beating the existing record set by Nic Case of 161.76mph last year.

I'm waiting for the videos but hope to post something really soon

Thanks to everybody who turned up and made the event what it was. I'm sure all of you pus many more will be back again next year.

Also thanks to Jerremy at the drag strip who supports our events and does a fantastic job of preparing reviews for mags and other promo stuff.

Special thanks to Tom for his help again and also for the techincal input of Carolyn Chambers without hwhos help I could not have built the rocket car

A full report will be out soon

Cheers

The UK ROSSA speed event is this weekend. Results arent up yet but here is a video of some practice runs. In this video is a Losi Speed NT, touring car and Tony's solid rocket car. Initial reports are coming in that Tony L. got 163.58 mph with his solid rocket car:

Just back from the event!! What a weekend. Yes the rocket car managed 163.58mph on the final run so a new worlds record. I'll post some more on the forums

There will be more videos posted as they come in.

Video: 100 mph brushless Team Associated RC8

2009-08-31T13:53:00.010-05:00

Mike used a Castle Creations 2650kv on 6S a 25T pinion, custom fitted 34t spur gear, ofna foam tires and adjusted the suspension to reach these insane speeds.Mike had a couple comments about the run:

We had no need for the gyro, it go pretty straight the way we setup it.

The wing really have a role to play, run a buggy without wing and i guarantee you will lose control over 50mph, it will spin out. :)

We did changed the wing though, the stock RC8 wing had too much downforce and the buggy was lifting slowly the front end, we had no steering over 75mph lol and sometimes it was lifting slowly, that buggy is very controllable!

Its an ofna hi downforce wing that we have cut a part of the downforce...
just to have the right amount of downforce at 100mph.

We set the rear with a slight toe-in, barely, cant say the degree...i have no idea lol

we try to have the best contact with the road with the camber.
And the most important is to adjust them so its the same left and right, everything need to be very precise... if the car slightly pull left or right it will slow it down.

2009-08-15T13:14:00.003-05:00

This is what Mike said about the run:

We wanted to see what kind of top speed we could get out of the SC8!
the setup had plenty of power to move the truck, but the way the truck is made it is very light over 70mph, sometimes it was getting airborn! We used a Neu 1515 1.5d, MMM esc, on 6S (2X 3S) ThunderPower 40C 5000mah and ofna rubber tires, didnt had the foam tires available at that time...

New contender in drag racing

2009-08-13T11:10:00.005-05:00

There is a new premium drag racing chassis to race against now. Urban Assault Racing has engineered a unique direct drive drag racing chassis. It utilizes a "Torque Tube" design to minimize distortion due to the high torque of today's brushless motors. Could this be the fastest 2wd R/C car available? First production "prototype" will be completed in the next few days with final production to start soon after. Check out Urban Assault Racing for more details.

Rick Kelly's MoJet

2009-07-20T09:24:00.008-05:00

Rick Kelly has been working on a scale R/C model of the Thrust SSC.

This was posted on LookForward:

20 May 2009

Rick Kelly's world speed record attempt today.

The Holden V8 Supercar driver Rick Kelly will attempt to break the Guinness World Land Speed Record today with his jet-powered remote controlled Red Bull Mojet T40 vehicle at the Holden Proving Ground in Lang Lang.

The Red Bull Mojet T40 is powered by two jet engines, creating 40 pounds of thrust and is a 1:10 scale replica of the Thrust SSC machine that set the outright World Land Speed Record in 1997. Kelly has built the Red Bull Mojet T40 himself from scratch and devoted over 750 hours of time into the project over a three-year period, with Wednesday’s record attempt the culmination of all that effort.

The world record attempt will take place on the 4.7-kilometre High Speed Ring at the Holden Proving Ground. The Red Bull Mojet T40 will drive around the course, with Rick Kelly following as a passenger in a chase vehicle, with the radio control hand unit to steer and operate the remote control machine. It is expected that the Red Bull Mojet T40, powered by its two jet engines that produce around 40 pounds of thrust, will reach speeds of around 150km/h during the world record attempt.

Rick didnt get too far. In this video, he crashes soon after he gets going. Here is some video of an interview with Rick and some more info about the car.

Video: Comparing Speeds of 3s and 6s, 75mph RC8e

2009-07-19T17:42:00.003-05:00

From Mike:

My friend wanted to see the difference between a 3S and a 6S in top speed, using the exact same setup for both lipo.

Setup is MMM 2650kv combo
We run a 21T pinion wich is the gearing used or bashing.
First part is 3S with offroad tires, to give an idea we use 5S for bashing... lol

Then we installed the OFNA foam and tested the difference , 1st is 3S MaxAmp 5250mah 30C, 2nd 3S Thunder Power 4200mah 40C, and last is 6S PolyRC 5000mah 30c.

The 3S thunder power had more punch and even a little more top speed than the maxamp...

Mike Peperni said this:

Just did a small test with my friend, i was holding the radar outside the car aiming the side of the road, as you can see it work pretty good, and i had the revo with the GPS on my knees,

My friend was trying to get 60 mph and hold that speed, 60mph= 97 kmh

It was made exactly where we do our speed runs.

ISC Closed Course speed run scheduled

2009-06-28T13:14:00.005-05:00

It has just been announced that there will be an Insane Speed Run this year during the September Velodrome Nationals at the Major Taylor Velodrome in Indiana. There will be a designated practice for Insane Speed Run on Friday Sept. 11th and the Insane Speed Run will be run immediately following the 3rd Qualifier on Saturday Sept. 12 th. Here are the rules for the Insane Speed Run. The International R/C Speed Challenge will have their officials on site to make sure all cars and timing are legal to qualify for ISC Closed Course World records. This Insane Speed Run will be for Electric Classes only as the Major Taylor Velodrome does not allow gas cars to run on the track.

The classes will be:

Open
Modified
Stock 2wd
Stock 4wd
Large Scale
Mini
Open Wheel
Motorcycle

Here is some on-board racing of some non-insane speed run cars at the Major Taylor Velodrome:

Video: Practice ROSSA event

2009-06-09T19:49:00.005-05:00

ROSSA held their practice speed event June 6-7th to test and tune for the big speed event on September 12-13th. Heres what Ziggy had to say:

Well I think we can call that a success!

Allan Waterfall broke the WORLD bike speed record with a recorded speed of 91.52mph with his IC powered bike. The bike didn't survive the slowdown but I don't think Allan was worried.

Kevin Simms got 102.99 mph with his Losi running 4 cells and a mamba max system. He was using rubber tyres on the rear and foams on the front. Well done Kevin! Send me your address and I'll post you your hat

I managed 87mph with the twin dragster before it gave up the ghost.

Then there was the rocket car...

The idea was just to give it a quick burn and see if everything was working. Myself and Tom filled it with N2O and pressured it up to 900psi. Tom lit the ignition and there was a short burst of throttle and the car moved forward quite rapid but the burn stopped. I thought we had put out the rocket so opened the throttle fully to see the liquid N2O coming out the back but nothing happened. Then there was a very large noise and the rocket jumped back into life and took off at the most incredible speed I have ever seen!!!!

I was so stunned. The car then veered to the right and I tried to straighten it out but it got out of control very quickly so I shut off the throttle. The car then skidded into the timing trap. The car covered about 100m in a little over a second and the whole show was over in about 2 1/2 seconds But MY GOD!! WHAT ACCELERATION!!

It was the most awesome thing I have seen and now I am addicted. The car works and has the potential for incredible top speeds so I wont be happy unless I can get this thing to 200+ and I would say that's just the start.

John has a short video and I'll upload it when he has posted it on his site

Cheers

Video: Joe Ford's ballistic Kyosho GT2

2009-05-11T18:40:00.006-05:00

Joe Ford's personal builder, Joe Lammers

He said this about the car:

I started out wanting to have an r/c car that would come close to 100...what I ended up with is one that is WELL capable of much more than that. I teamed up with Kyosho, RC Monster, Hitec, and CheapBatteryPacks.com to come up with one MONSTER of an electric conversion. The stock vehicle ran very well, great engine compression, handled well...just needed e-power, more speed, and it had to be worthy of the Castle name that would be going on it.

Hitec donated some of their 5645MG servos for the steering and brake/throttle control. More than enough torque, and are super smooth!

RC Monster Mike donated a conversion kit for the GT2 that keeps the 2 speed transmission as well as the mechanical brake. The parts are of the HIGHEST quality! He also sent me out THE largest pinion I have EVER seen...at first glance you almost think the pinion is the spur!!! It was rather tedious to install since the gear closest to the motor mount blocked access to the hex head motor mount screws. After removing the center diff, adjusting the motor mount position, and putting it all back in place over and over we FINALLY got it to mesh PEFECTLY!!!

CheapBatteryPacks was kind enough to offer up one of the 6s 5300 30C lipos for juice. This pack has TONS of punch, and handles the current VERY well. After a nearly full run the pack was barely warm! Can't wait to try some of their new 5000mah 35C cells in there!

My employer, Castle Creations donated our 2200kv Monster Max combo for the project. With a motor based on Steve Neu's 1515/1Y motor (arguably the best motor manufacturer in the world), I knew I could expect some serious power, but was surprised at just how much I got. With the gearing I am running and current it is drawing the motor does need some time to cool down between runs (but it's ok...so do my nerves!). If I can get a handle on all the power the 2200kv system provides I'll be going up to the 2650kv motor with the same battery and gearing. It's currently geared for about 140mph, the 2650 would take it up to about 170mph according to Mike @ RCM.

The whole conversion process took approximately 2-3 hours max from start to finish. Very easy to do...especially with the assistance of this vid, and any of you speed demons out there that are looking to break 100mph without spending any more than you would on any other 1/8th scale e-conversion, I STRONGLY suggest you give the Inferno GT2 e-conversion a try.

LOTS more work to do on the vehicle to get it more stable at high speed, but I'm confident we'll overcome that soon. Keep your eyes peeled for update videos!!!!!!!!!

He also said this about the car:

Car is a Kyosho Inferno GT2, 2 speed tranny still in it, RC Monster conversion kit with special high speed pinion (dang near as large as the spur gears), 6s lipo, Monster Max 2200. Not sure how fast she's going, but it's not too shabby. Getting my neighbor (a KS Highway Patrolman) to radar it. The bigger the car, the slower it looks like it's going...know that from my pylon planes. Anyone care to estimate?

Joe Ford wanted to emphasize that this car can be put together with no custom components:

And yes, that's a bone stock Monster Max 2200 combo. Right out of the box, just like you can get at your LHS. I wanted to make it a point that none of the components I used in the vehicle could not be purchased by everyone. You can get everything in the car from a distributor online or LHS.

2009-05-11T18:11:00.002-05:00

Kevin Simms has hit 86 mph with his Team Associated RC10B4 on 4s. He said this about his car:

Hi
ive had this car on the isc forum before but now im going to share this one with you people. The car has a neater set u now and im going to lower the car a little because ive replaced my old front tires with 2 large o-rings from b and q. The car is on 4s lipo and ive had it so far go 78mph but im still fiddeling with the gear set up. Its also got a front wing to keep it from flipping. Im now going to try it with out a wing because its gettin lowered it shouldnt handle like a boat. The front o-rings make the car not handle as good but thats a good thing so the back end doesnt come round and without a wing im hoping for 80+. il have pics on tommorow.

the b4 has the normal buggy wheels at the front but they are cut in half and im using o-rings it helps the car from looing control and its actually veryeasy to control. Als using the t4 rear foams at the moment half the shell is cut to fit the wires but ill put on different connectors so ill be puttin a new shell on it. I may also have an neu 1512 or lehner basic xl for it not sure yet. Ive also got to change the pinion for 90 plus mph. I wasnt really after anything just thought if there was there would be some good things to pick up from there.

Video: BoostCrzy hits 111mph!

2009-04-10T07:44:00.005-05:00

BoostCrzy is using a Castle Creations Mamba Max 7700kv brushless motor with 75 tooth spur/43 tooth pinion gearing. He also said this:

I also switched out the EZRUN ESC for a Mamba Max...added a Castle Creations BEC to keep the Gyro and high speed servo happy(and ready for the 4s1p battery)....testing went well...speeds averaged about 95mph pass after pass....very consistent....and control is noticeably better on start and braking...the ESC has a VERY smooth brake allowing for accurate modulation through the entire slowing event.....I added a small fan to the heat sink, as the car is now a sealed unit with the under-tray and airflow is minimal inside...

Castle Creations 9000KV Motor in RCCA

2009-03-03T07:58:00.006-06:00

Radio Controlled Car Action took the new Castle Creations 9000KV bruhsless motor for a spin in a TC4. This thing is a rocket! Here's what they had to say:

I pegged the throttle. The car took off like a rocket but still was manageable to control. The radar gun clocked the first pass at 66mph. I was very impressed. There was no cogging at start, and the motor was cold to the touch after one run. I made more passes and was able to get 67mph out of the motor. I probably made about 15 passes, and the motor was still cool to the touch. The motor ran great and could have been geared a lot higher. I will definitely gear up and revisit this motor; I think I could easily have hit 75 or 80mph...

2009-03-01T16:53:00.006-06:00

Gernot has a website describing his project:

Not having found satisfaction in my job so far, I was looking for a new challenge that ought to match my idea of creativity. Finally, I found back to the construction of model cars – an activity which had been one of my favourites since my youth and I focussed mainly on remote-controlled model helicopters. Moreover, I started developping a competitive electric Speed Car that arrived at a speed of 163,3 km/h. This successful piece of work inspired me at last to train as a CNC Programmer/Machinist and a CAD Operator to start up my own business in model making.

2009-02-27T17:49:00.005-06:00

Jack has a nice setup to get his 4-Tec up to 75 mph and a lot more potential for future runs:

I recently decided to try for some top-end fun with my electric 4-tec...currently setup with the following:

CF chassis
4300kv BL motor (EZrun)
60amp BL ESC (EZ-run)
4000mah 3s1p LiPo
35p/78s gearing
Futaba 3PM FASST radio

....(Current GPS speed as of 2/26/09 - 75.2mph)....all testing is done with a Garmin forerunner 101 GPS mounted on the car.
