Something about  a short wheel base, high COG, and too much power......  I think the MIniquake is just fine as long as you stay with a VR3.  I guess if I ugraded to a 2.4g radio, I might not have as much of an issue with BL power.  I still think it's just not able to handle the speed though. 
    Once I get my new shocks installed and the VR3 back in, I'll post pics.  I haven't messed with it in months.  Heck, haven't really messed with my Detta SC in a while as I think my 26mm Castle ate the diffs too......
