you need to be lower and wider

cut holes in the wheels to get at the diff nuts etc and move the wheels out at least 1.4 on the hubs and glue them there
then mount sped ctrl on side on the chassis edge behind the frt wheel and get that receiver down off the roof and on its edge on the chassis it will traction roll all over the place cause the c of g is too high...
if I have i will post pix of mine soon

ok so here they are dialup beware

cars had raced for about 5 yrs every fri nite from Nov to may about 20 or 30 15 lap heats 120 feet per lap
do this to the wheels for more width and buy extra hubs and GLUE the wheels on with CA.

frt wheel


rear wheel

rear see how wide it is!!

receiver on side get all the weight as low as possible doesnt matter as much if you are running on pavement but deffy need on carpet
shot reddy to go with lipo and Mamba its insane, run on carpet with only 30% throttle or its too wild... I cant imagine running on anything less than carpet
oh BTW need frt one way for the frt
ONLY buy the one way that HPI makes ALL the aftermarket ones fry within 200 laps also get the alum cage to hold frt one way and an alum pully (but good luck finding one,..

the whole bottom of the front is cut away it looks like a Baja buggy.
the Prrsche from PTI is by far the best bod we have had they lasted a full season and they are very low and wide.
I had the chevy pickup which actually has one of the lowest c of g because the bed is so low handled well but the wheels stuck out cuz it wasnt wide enuff.
we did about 345 laps last nite exo2 working well

Thanks man!

Post #105 has the most current photos. Minus what I would call the "nun-chunk" style of packs. Where they are soldering pos to neg etc. I do have some "saddle" packs that are aligned by the side of their cases. I only race with the "nun chuck" style of pack and I like the feel of it better then the saddle designs.
