Good test data so far River. My 2cents. Unfortunately I believe the only way you are going to reach your (speed)goal is from a lot more testing and trying different effects. Running a 1/8 scale vehicle at those speeds takes a lot of tweeking to get all of the variables just right. The ones I have seen up to now that do very well were running with a body that covers the entire vehicle, including the wheels, which prevents or elliminates alot of the turbulance and push that you will see. Take a good look at todays "Funny Cars" and see what you can use from that technology. You might try fabricating your own wedge type body out of thin lexan sheeting. This type of body will give you more control and also give you more protection for your equipment in the event of a roll over at high speeds.

Your steer pull issue does sound more like natural torque steer from your drivetrain. This is something that is almost impossible to over come completely. A strong servo setup and the Gyro may help though. It is good to see what you what are going through in order to learn what (to do & Not to do) when my project gets to that point. Good effort River, and good luck.
