It's just so much torque for a 2wd. Running mine of 4 cell was kinda difficult because of the torque, just next to impossible to keep the nose down. Even the slightest touch on the throttle and it turned in to a wheelie king. But then again, who knows what's possible if you get that COG down and get some lead weights up front.
Hey I have an idea! Instead of lead weights, why don't you just machine some solid stainless-steel front wheels? That should keep the nose down as well as provide some gyroscopic stability at high speed. Hmmmm?
