Wheel speed

[runningwild]

I'm just curious the amount of wheel speed everyone running bog is trying to make. I'm set up to make 100 mph of wheel speed in one gear without shifting is my goal. Any thoughts? Ideas?

i know trucks that are running sub 3 second fast track times that dont have that much wheel speed so if you can do it you should be fast

Well what John mike figured for me I should go 100 mph of speed I should have enough motor to turn it. I was just wanting other people's input since some guys r shifting the tranny

lmao! you are waaaay too close to be gettin the majic #'s.......besides that, It really doesnt matter what anyone else is doing (wheel speed wise), Its gunna boil down to how much power you can make.......Your hp and torque will determine your wheel speed............Monkey

Lol well my power should be around 1400 mark. Or higher    maybe that will help those magic numbers lol

     with 1,400 you shouldn't be concerned about wheel speed, you need to be looking for a safe place to land your airplane,lol

Just trying to make them fast passes like I always see yaw doin

   Trial and eror,  it's all about your package. What works for someone else may not work for you. Good luck!

How much time can I expect to pick up changing from  a 39.5 cut to a 44? I have enough motor and spray to do it. I went 3.5 on 39 with a 200 shot working bugs out. I wanna go to 44s and 450 shot. If it's worth the money I'll buy some just trying make sure it's worth the money

[James G]

 Your guess is as good as anyone elses.

Well, wheel speed as it was described to me by a man that has set many track and natoinal records is like an airplane in air. At some point everything becomes solid. you have to find that solid point that works for your truck. suspension travel, weight transfer, tires, tire pressure, cross weight, amount of time it takes you to create that power, gear ratio. The tricky part once you understand your truck combination is to be fast at differnt tracks. ie. deep tracks, shallow tracks, tacky tracks, soupy tracks. I will tell you my wheel speed is above 100mph well above. sometimes it hurts sometimes it helps.

Thanks redbone. I'm having a tough year tried changing to much stuff to go faster and in turn can't keep it on the track. So I've stepped back and started with the chassis and gonna make changes and adjustments any advice is appreciated
