Going high speed is not about looks and add ons, it's a bout speed and if what you are doing doesn't help the vehicle for the purpose, don't use it.

All the lights and BS take up space, add weight, and don't do anything to make the vehicle faster. Just breaking 70 mph in an rc is an experience. When you get up to 100 the effects compound. It's trickier than it appears.

Just from an aerodynamics standpoint and keeping the vehicle on the ground you are in for some work and a lot of trial and error.

Good luck though!
