I'm working on reducing frontal area as much as possible and lift. Also I am working on making some bolt on difusers for the rear of the chassis. The MMT is the perfect chassis for high speed runs since its a flat panel. All the other big trucks have an open chassis underneath which creates alot of lift. Also the longer the wheelbase the better I have been with holding the truck down.

Do you have tubing inside the front shocks under the piston? I will start doing speed runs again soon and I have my truck sitting a bit lower on the front and I know it will create much more down force, but I know it will stay on the ground. I also have a wheelie bar, but I think it won't be needed. I sure hope Mike can do my chassis soon. With the design I have done, I can use 44.4v and 74v with those long packs from Kong Power, Flight Power and Thunder Power.
