Modified vs Stock Touring Lap Times

rccarsrtr — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 14:48:38 +0000

In 1/10 electric on-road touring cars, the popular class is usually modified and 13.5T brushless motors. A couple of years ago modified is much faster. However with the new technology such as faster speed controllers (LRP SXX, Tekin, Advanced Black Diamond) and 50c LIPO batteries, stock touring is almost as fast as modified.

Take for example the recent 2010 DHI Cup. Here are the winning times in the A main of modified and pro-stock class.

Mod vs stock DHI cup 2010 results

In both race times and fastest times, stock is only 5% slower than modified. And probably only 2 to 3% slower if the modified drivers (professionals) were driving stock.

Maybe someday stock will be faster than modified

Results: The DHI Cup is one of the most important 1/10 electric on-road touring car race. Here is where if you win on Sunday, you sell on Monday. Important here is the on-road chassis (Tamiya 416, HB Cyclone, Associated TC5, XRAY T3, Yokomo BD-5 and more) and the electronic speed control especially in the superstock class (LRP SXX, Advanced Electronics Black Diamond, GM).
