I have a question for the guys who know.

I will lengthen my distance to get to the traps. Downforce only works if you can get to the speed to utilize it. I am not even getting to those speeds before I loose traction. I am sure if I had a stickier rubber tire that would not blow apart at speed it would be better. My truck weigh ~11 pounds and heavier then 90% of the other vehicles out there. But My motor is able to put out more torque and power than 90% of the other cars also. My bigger diameter tires should have alot more traction than a little > 3" tires the other cars are running also. Bigger = more contact on the ground.

As an example is a f1 car has very little torque lots of hp and still can go 240 mph if given enough room to get up to speed. Where a dragster can get past that speed in less than a 1/4 mile and has extreme torque but if it has no traction it isn't going anywhere. I am thinking for speed runs a smaller castle 1512 2650 motor would be better than a neu 1515 1.5 d 2700 kv motor. Especially in traction limited circumstances. What good is all that power if I have to let off because I am going through through the finish line sideways .
