Besides deep on kent kangley twoards covington and at the bottom of the hill twoards central. Do any of you know where there are some of them radar signs that clock you as you drive by? Preferably on a wide, well lit, dead street. Thanks.
I got a mamba max setup for it and this thing hauls major ass. I tried the one near lake meridian and wasnt having very good results. I think my car is too small and too fast for it to pick up. When it did pick up, I think the best it registered was 38 and was nowhere near topping out. Either way I blew my tranny up tonight, I got upgraded steel gears to put in, then its back on. 50mph or bust
By my house there is a WIDE well lit street with a Speed counter mounted to a light pole....It is going up hill though...I like to make it blink at 99 LOL

I’m having honey roasted peanuts for dinner tonight. Mind you, they’re completely nutritious! Sugar, honey, fructose, corn syrup… hey, wait a second! That’s all sugar! Since when did sugar make a good dinner? Well, I could wander downstairs and reheat some leftover pasta but this bag was much more convenient. It’s just me… eating my nuts… again.
awesome. the other one i know about is on top of james hill just before going down. keep it slow though its a school zone. heheh.
and stay in the right lane. it never picks up the left if somethings in the right, so im guessing its focused more over there. plenty of business lots to park in nearby.
I was thinkin of investing in a real radar gun. I got this toy one that is fairly accurate for big ass cars that you stand in front of almost dying in the process. But for my needs, lets just say my friend has a nasty ass bruise on his toe : and it aint pickin up real well, unless your right in front of it, level with it. Dangerously close.

They are to small for the radar to pick up. You need to mark off 200 feet and time it or you can go buy one of those radar units that they sell for kids at toys are us. They are really accurate.
50 MPH, phhht. You need to get a much faster car then that. We have one for each member of the family and my sons has about $1000 worth of upgrades for it. We had to get rid of the 2nd gear in it and swap it over to a single speed. Everytime it shifted into second gear it would lift the front end and break axles. We ran his car around 310 degrees, it ran best at that temp.
Im electric, not nitro. I did get one of those toy radar guns, its not workin out for me. I think a bushnell radar gun will be much easier to use. I want to at least see 50, things are actually going pretty fast and hard to control at those speeds. Im going to end up gearing it down and slow it down for normal off road use to keep the temps down. I could probably stand to gear it up even more tho for speed runs. The motor was about 144 deg. the night I blew up the tranny. 170 is getting a bit too hot to run safely and efficiently.
