Cool vid!

What tires were you running that video. Was it the Prolines?

Someone recommended the Traxxas Jato Anaconda tires to me (was using Road Hawgs before and anything over 25-30mph was like driving on razor blades). They can handle the speed without balooning much and will give you more control - bet you could get 60mph again with much more control.

Although - I ran 3S on a 1930/6 and the speed is intense. I've run it with 4S and with that one extra cell it just hits a point where it wants to take off like an airplane around 45-50mph.

I've just installed the RCM extended chassis and went from the stock wheels to Proline 30 series with Dirt Hawg tires (awesome 40mph on the grass) and a pair of Traxxas 2.8 truck wheels with Anaconda tires. I haven't gotten a chance to run the Anaconda's yet, but I am going to bring the 4S pack with me the first time I do because the extended chassis is so much more stable than before.

I used to get bored after 15 minutes because I kept having to right the truck over from cartwheeling. With the ext chassis I think I may have flipped it twice in 15 - 20 minutes.

Cool stuff!! I love this little buggy more and more every day!!
