Default XO1 fighter. Building a missile ***VIDEOS***

I'm in the process of building a speed machine. I'll be starting with the Ofna 1/8 chassis. Updated front suspension and 6s. I haven't decided on tires yet, so will be testing with the ones that came on the roller.

I've started acquiring the things needed and have the motor, esc and body.

Please stay tuned for updates, testing and videos!

Just waiting on my 6s lipos to arrive as well as my hub to allow for the revo spurs. Right now the car is running 48/16. On 5s it still boogies but not quite enough!

So I have just received all my parts. I'm a little busy at the moment but keep posted for my first set of testing videos!

Some preliminary testing I did. Didn't end so well as I had some equipment failure :(

Ha heck yeah. Don't want that to happen. My next pass I plan to be elevated for this purpose and to have a better eyes view.

Stay tuned here or subscribe for my next attempt

Had a big crash today. I think I'll need to send off my esc. Ran 6s today and it's another animal! Also had a good run yesterday but still on 5s. Up'd my last fun by about 33%. Stay tuned for the video.

Purchased some stiffer rear springs and thicker shock oil to limit squat which is raising my front end. Also going to re build a better front splitter.
