Status: offline 		Ok Ive been debating if I should do this project for a long time and I think Ive finally made my decision which is "yes I should do it". My goal= 65mph. If all goes to plan this should be done by next week sometime.

Setup
ESC- Mamba Max
Motor- Feigao 8xl
Batteries- 12cells IB4200's

Heres are some pics of the crazy setup. Hint "its like nothing you've ever seen"

Motor sticks out quite a bit though.. Could get dinged up by debris

Ya i plan on making a motor protector. I really hope this thing doesnt wheelie because 60mph + wheelie= disaster.

IDK yet... Maybe the TC body I have right now which is the protoform dodge stratus carpet edition which is a vey nice and sturdy body and it drops right onto the chassis.

Status: offline 		WOW. good luck with this. I really think that it will wheelie like crazy because you have a fiegao 8xl and also the fact of how small your tires are.

You going to use a reciever pack and take out the red wire because of the twelve cells?

He has to if he likes that reciever at all..

I think you should fit it with a kinda of custom wheelie bar thats really low to the floor to try to keep it on all 4's off the line. Similar to how they do in drag racing if you know what i mean.

something like :


That's for a real car, but you get the idea.
