118 kph/73.32 mph with Tamiya TA-05

I just came from testing my car, I have reached 118 kph/73.32 mph. It is still not full of throttle, again same reason as previous test. Below are the video and the picture of the speed.

Sorry for the low quality of the video. I was using my phone camera 3.2mp.

115 kph/71.45 mph with Tamiya TA-05

Today I have tested my car again, and I got 115 kph/71.45 mph in the last run using Mamba Max 7700 with 4 cells, and the gear ratio is 5.175. The parking lot was not long enough, and it is approximately 170 meters. I still didn't give it the full throttle, and I feel that car can do more than that it does.

I will try to find another spot next time. Here are the video and a picture of my run and radar.

112 kph/69.59 mph with Tamiya TA-05

I went to test my car with my friend last week, and I had several runs.
Before the last run I got 105 kph, and I got 112 kph for the last run.

By using google calculator I got: 112 kph = 69.5935735 mph

After passing the radar I continued to push my car more, and I got 77 mph with the venom speed meter which is installed in the car.

Note that the energy of the battery in the last two runs was almost fully dissipated. I tried to discharge it completely but i was unable to discharge it since the battery has low energy and its voltage was 12 and something. So I fully charged the battery, and I got 16.8v. I hope next time I run it with a fully charged battery.

The total gear ratio was 6.21, and I'm going to reduce it to 5.175.

below are the video and pictures of my test:
