Rebuilding the Tamiya TA05 based Ferrari F430 Part III

So finally got around to doing some speed runs!!! unfortunately the weather was still pretty bad. But it’s not all bad news, I got to test the car in the wet. I have to say the TA05 and Mamba Max combination is very good for the price.

The car handled really well and I was able to squeeze in about 43mph on one of the runs. (I am using a radar gun). The small puddles of water were slowing me down a bit but over all it was a lot fun to run the car.

This is the same Ta05 that I have in part I and II, Ta05 with Mamba Max 7700kv, robinson racing 48p 75t spur and 22t pinion. I estimated the top speed to be 46.5mph so getting 43mph was not bad at all.
