That was on about a just about an 1/8+ mile strip.

Anyway, thanks for the opinion and correct forum section.

I hear ya there. I had to run a 19 tooth pinion to be able to use the full throddle. That kept it at 48 mph. There really is nothing you can do to stop the front end from coming up. Might just be me but I think it has a lot to do with the air flow going under the body. I had a rustler that I put a bandit body on with the same set up except the motor was a lehner 3100. The gearing was messed up but I just wanted to do a speed run. I only got one run out of it. I am not sure what the speed was but it was moving. I had it way out away from me coming in. As it got closer it started to slow down and stopped all together and something smelled like buring wires. I walked over to it and poped the body off. Every solder joint from the battery to the ESC have undone itself. Thats some heat. Airflow is good for something I guess.
