Mamba Max and B4 insane speed !!

[JB3231]

I got to try out my new rig last night. The Mamba Max 5700 and 3S Lipo in a team associated B4. 20/81 gearing.

The speed is just insane. After 2 packs the brand new rear tires are completely bald. I don't know what the top speed is because I can't get it there. I try to ease up to about 40 or 50 mph and then stomp it and it still flips over backwards. I think the only way to get up to top speed would be to follow in a car, because I run out of range before I can reach it.

I ground off both shock towers and the 2 rear shock caps already. It's amazing how much damage a car gets skidding upside down at 60 mph.

Anyway, I need a new set of rear tires, that will hold up for more than 2 runs. Is there any setup that will help to keep from flipping over backwards everytime I stab the gas? I tried strapping a 1/2 socket to the front shocktower but that wasn't enough weight and just makes it handle badly.

I'll try to get a video sometime this weekend. Right now I have to order several parts. I've broken about half the parts on this car already.
