How fast?
Hi folks, gotta question.
How fast is your X-Mod?
I've run scale 1/4 mile(47.142 ft) sprints and timed with a stopwatch, but I suppose you could run either endurance type races, or distance (scale mile=188.571ft) races.
I was disappointed to discover a factory cars best speed with alkalines was only 7.42 real mph (207.85 scale mph).
So how fast is yours? Is it set up to drag race, or road coarse?
Take care,
warren/obx22

35 views, no replys 
Heres the math I used to establish the scale and real speeds:
60 seconds (divided by) actual seconds it took to run the coarse =
scale miles per minute, (multiplied by) 60 = scale Mph, (divided by) 28 = real Mph.
I do "running start" scale 1/4 mile sprints, then multiply run times by 4 before converting.
Hope this helps, it'd be nice to quantify results of certain modifications by speed improvement.
Take care,
warren
