Agree with Tram. That's a purdy car. But does it only LOOK fast?

he is currently 1st place is e-production scca autocross in the sacramento erea

about 450 hp at the read wheels he has a programing system comming next that shoudl get him closer to 500 his sponcer is working out the programing harness the idea is to be able to flash the chip on the road or at the track or before taking it into the dealer or smog shop..

the last thing to go into the car will be the raceing suspention and breaks..

but i all cost money..

He has been asked to do a photo shoot his car should be used for a national add campain

sound system is up to par too 2 15 inch solaberic subs and 2 1500 mtx amps in custom boxs so he still has enough trunk to put the baby stroller in it

If I go with the microdan speed on 3s... Could I use the thunderbird 36? Or would I be better off with the phoenix 35?

the thunderbird 36 works perfect with the MicroDAN Speed motor, the only down side is a limit of 3s.

Dan, would the 2505 Speed 2800kv be ok on 5S A123? What prop would you recommend if so, same as a 4S lipo, APC 4.25x4.24?

Rock on.. Last dyno on the TA I hit 381rwhp through an automatic.. Too bad it's not a 6 speed..

I am waiting on a new intake which should put me well over 400rwhp..

LS1 - TR224 Cam, TSP 5.3L Stage 2.5 Heads (2 min 2 sec)

I think you will be ok as long as you prop it to spin less than 58K RPM. no ESC I am aware of will turn the 14 mag motor faster than 58K.
Heads up I am now running tests on a 10 magnet version of the 2505. so far unloaded RPM of more than 70K is easy to hit.

Thanks Dan. I'm sure I'll be happy with 3s on the lighting... but it's always nice to be able to upgrade later.

Hey Dan.. that's pretty impressive. How many cells does it take?

This is my second 36 lightning. Same setup except I use Hyperion DS13 Mg's.

Thought I could get it lighter but I was wrong, its 20oz on the dot. the last one was 20.5 with a half ounce in the nose. This one should need no lead as everything is farther forward then before.

So if you cant see this one in the air you got problems....

Adam

Ok i love that one.. even i could see it at a 1/4 mile

Very nice color scheme! now let's see some VTO's

There will be a new video made, I have this new move that just make you laugh, eveytime I do it I can hear the other guys giggle.

I hear th motors shipped today so yours should be heading out anyday now! I kinda like your's a bit better as its more mellow but very cool scheme.

Dont worry man it wont be long now...

WOW, very nice as usual.


Tony

Nice yet again Adam!! It makes me think of radar or Doppler with that circular pattern. Nice colors too, very visible.

GL with it!!

Diggs

Thanks Adam.

Like I've said no rush. I have this 700 watt stryker that i have been messing around with keeping me entertained. I still know that this bird is a quantum leap forward in terms of maneuverability and thats a good thing .
