I was only able to stay at that speed for about 5 seconds. The amperage pull on that motor is serious (8.9 amps on start-up with no load!), so those poor 2 700mAh lithium-ion was no match for long. I'm using 6 Kokam 350 lithium polymer batteries now (4 lithiums' would do, but I want the longest run time I could get), so staying at that speed is no longer a problem.

If you think that 82km was fast with 2 lithium you should see three! (sorry, no picture. Once you pass 99km it will say error).
Hopefully it will not rain this weekend, so I could test my latest project. Pics in a sec

One probrlem about speed checkers/rolling road.

a rolling road offers no resistance as it doesnt have to push the weight of the car,just the rollers which are a lot lighter.

You cannot drive them that fast anway. Top speed does not mean a whole lot really. It is cool to go fast and all, but past a certain speed, if you turn at all, the car goes flipping!

Nice job, though.

It depends on your setup. I have a car that does 65km on the checker, on the street there is a oval track I go to and never had any problems with flipping unless I hit another car....... or grass..... sometimes a bird even a dog....... lol that was funny when that happen.

LOL...that would be funny to see...I chase my kids around with mine...
