A larger wing may be in order, too, and therefore an actual wing mount.

I tried both the rubber and foams and got to 83 using both. Before using the HV-110, I also thought it wouldn't be able to handle braking, but it handles braking fine.

The only thing I am having problems with is the Neu 2215/3Y. The endbell comes loose after a full throttle pass and the power of the motor goes waaay down. I have to send it back to Steve Neu so I can get the endbell secured.

Your car set up looks good. I wonder why you have traction problems. I know OFNA makes rubber slicks for the GTP. Maybe you can try those. You have a killer paint job. I cant stand painting and I am terrible at it. I just paint everything white, lol.

So 83 with the rubber tires and the foams are still intact inside? Hmm.....

Thanks! I'm telling you it's my street that is to blame for the traction issues. I believe the Moabs will help tremendously. It never gets swept by my town so it's always sandy on top of the crappy surface. There's a sewer access cover right in the middle at either end of the straight that I have to watch out for or it will flip the car. I actually like the all white paint job. It's ghosty, and somehow to me that suggests speed...

So after reading this thread I am gonna buy the Ultra GTP rolling chassis and convert to brushless.I have a Neu 1512/1.5D and a MMM when its fixed.Can I use the center spool with Mikes rcmonster motor mount.What about bodies?Can I use the rcmonster battery tray?

I saw those. It would have to be 5mm bore to fit the motor shaft. :(

Yes, and yes. Nice to see I inspired someone to empty their wallet!

About the bodies, Tower has two: Viper and Porshe.
