I finally got around to finishing my racer. It's the old school fine design prostock. I had to make a new driveshaft for it. Used my drill press to sand down some 1/4" 6061 tubing to make it fit. The originals were too long with the new aluminum hubs.
A123, mamba and hacker powered. Clueless how fast it's going to be.
This is what happend last Sunday. Took of like a bullit and went airborn. Landed on it's behind and the spinning wheels sucked in the rear. I need the build me a wheelie bar and gear up. Might have to max out the punch control and/or decrease the timing a bit. On 4s and 3s it would get airborn. On2s it ran straight.
Oh man, that sucks. Body was so nice too. Same things happen to me, but it's just my driving skills at fault. Which is why I spend very little time on bodies...
I'm surprised you ran it without a wheelie bar. Based on your account of the accident the damage could've been a lot worse; had it landed off center and cart-wheeled. I'm glad it didn't because I want to see what it's really capable of!
There are no vids unfortunately. Just that pic. The body did pop back out though. Just the spoiler got ruined. I'll need to get some new tires as well. The best part was, that during my test, it had a peak of only 30A at 4s.
That is my "traction compound". Just have to let it sit in the sun a bit and then roll it onto the foamies. Instant traction at launch and only needs water to clean, unlike koford.
