100mph, same gearing as before only changed the body to a proline slipstream 2.0 . Sorry for the crappy quality and cursing. Enjoy :)

Thats awsome, you make it look so effortless. I have a hell of a time just running straight. How do you speed demons set up the suspension?

Mine is setup like so:
Front:
80wt oil
10k diff oil but am going to try something stiffer
Green springs
droop at arms level
black sway bar
just a very slight amount of toe out to eliminate turn-in (makes it less touchy at high speed)

Rear:
80wt oil
light diff oil (1-3k is fine)
Purple springs
droop at a little past arms level
silver sway bar
standard 3degrees toe in

Center diff J-B Welded together.

Now for some pics of the new look, dubbed Miami Vice

nice job on 100. isn't that buggy amazing? i was too much of a pu$$y to JB weld my diff. i used playdough in case i deceided to go play in the dirt.

is that an ofna high flow wing? they work great. i just finished another 8ight yesterday. i'm kinda shelving the tekno build right now because you said you didn't care for the new mounts. i gotta figure out a way to get a high torque mini servo on the stock chassis if i wanna use manual brakes with the phoenix on 8S.

cool looking lid btw. Crocket would be proud.
