Can do good luck with this thing do some research people have been racing these longer than you have been alive, try running a 2s that isnt so tall under the midplate so that the bottom of the chassis protects it if your worried

people went close to 100mph with velodrome cars in the early 90's with brushed cars and nimh cells cliff lett had the record for quite a bit too many other setups to choose from in drag racing

I didn't know much about these until I saw this thread, very cool man I like it.

One thing though, is there no suspension or did I miss it completely?
here is a vid of one running at a track.. its stupid fast holy crap.

So far it looks like the suspension is literally just the chassis flex and torsional adjustments? pretty cool stuff

The only suspension is a spring above each steering knuckle, some run the cross braces a tad loose so the chassis will settle left to right better
