If you could invert an Indy car at speed it would hold the road because of this effect. I heard that these cars are a little unstable under 50 mph that is about when the ground effects start to kick in after that it sucks down to the road and is stable as can be. I have a Losi 8ight that will run just like your buggy and it too is stable at around 70 mph, I have not had it to 100mph, but I bet it would be a whole lot different. I'm sure it would not be as stable.
Not true Cmac, I love my Losi 8 for that reason, it is completely stable at all speeds. I've had my losi 8 up to 113 MPH so smooth and stable it's not even funny. Just look at my videos. I have one pass at 106mph and it's a cadillac going down the street. So if you guys have any doughts about the stability of a buggy, i just proved it..

Not a bump

hey 89GTA, I held the camera in this video and this pass and I can tell you it was a blow-over. It just looks like a crack but it's smooth and we drive our high speed buggies there all the time.They never flip at 110mph and no problem. The XO-1 just flips all the time a pinch of air gets under it. My friend got rid of it right away...

This is my car and my video, the street you see is smooth as glass, the line in the road is a water pipe that was installed a few years but the street is perfectly matched. My and my friends have used this street for years with out issues for cars over 100mph

The problem in my video is air under the car, not the street!! :)

Exactly right these guys on here have never even touched a xo1 ive beaten three and driven one the body is flemzey as a zephyrhills water bottle thats empty.

^That. Traxxas does use very thin polycarbonate for it's shells, once you get up some kind of speed it'll be flexing and deforming all over the place due to the air pushing down on it = unstable. Chassis and shell flex is one of the issues Mr Case had initially, now he runs a CF chassis and a rather thick shell ( not sure if it's CF, GRP or just really thick lexan )...

That's good to know that it is possible to maintain stability at that speed. I myself have never driven a rc vehicle at those kind of speed. If I can find the right kind of place I might give it a trying. What kind of gearing, motor,esc,tires etc did you use for that kind of speed?
