If you watch the 3rd video, the wheelie was at about 35mph. It yanks the wheels up at any speed and causes me to lose control. Check out the ending of this video and thats with my wheelie bar at the lowest level.

Get a longer chassis (FLM or the new traxxas one) and lower the car and its problem solved!

I have always wanted to bash at a golf course! Looks like a ton of fun!

Bye bye to anything in the tranny with dual pletty's.

my all aluminum trani is "THE BEEF"....have you guys seen the ULTRAMAXXED gears!...brass idlers and aluminum 1st and 2nd...hardened steel output and input shafts!...i was stripping the pins in the input shaft untill i replaced them with allan keys cut down...now everything is so they say...BombProof... i think??...i do have three backup sets of the (out of production) Ultramaxxed gears though!

I would take that bet in a race just for kicks... I was going to run dual 37/48 1000kv 12pole outrunners & dual MM's in my E-Warhead on 5s each.

I highly doubt it. I still flip my truck which has the gmaxx chassis, UE Monoblock, and setback arms from a standstill .

You know what I meant!

Hahaha, it will help alot. But after all its BL Have to roll on the stupid amounts of power

[plettenbergs]

you are exactly right...longer chassis and lo-pro tires will help a lot!!!

I think we sometimes forget the power to weight ratio (torque output included) of these vehicles. There may not be much that can be done with these v-twin vehicles short of changing the ratio.

btw, beautiful truck plettenberg

Oh cmon rabosi, you know me from the TRX forums! Weight is my number one priority.

Your truck is already over the top, why not take it above and beyond its current form? Try a water cooled system powered by a small fuel pump or something. That would be wild on your truck. You could use clear tubing and run a food coloring of your choice to personalize even more.

sorry i could not get together with you guys this weekend...thanks for the envite...it was my 15th wedding anniversary...ready for 15 more!...water cooled sounds CRAZY!...maybe a small purple novak fan instead!

[Tempted]

We had some fun. I was jumping the V-Twin about 20ft high. A friends MMM E-REVO was there and a few stock trucks. We didn't get any footage unfortunately. Water cooled is crazy! But so is your truck! Sure, you could go with a fan but why be like everyone else??? lol.
