Also its time for a new Neu motor. I want more power...
Also the XLB is done with foamy tires on it. Buddy took it out for some runs on them instead of the phaltline wheels and tires since I didn't have time to drive it. First pass car did 87.3mph, 2nd pass 94.2mph and 3rd pass with modded wing for less drag got a nice 96.1mph. Going to be neat to see a BIG 1/7th scale XTM XLB buggy break 100mph! BTW, that is on 12S.

Perhaps you should add some servo operated flaps to the wings...
I've actually thought of something similar. Ever see the Chrysler Crossfire SRT6? The wing self adjusts as you go faster to increase the downforce. It would be simple to do with a small servo and 4 channel radio. You could adjust at speed. Or you could use something like a modified OptiDrive so it does it without human input.
Interesting idea, but they would need to be strong servos too, to resist the force of the wind rushing over them and pushing them down/up. Servo actuated airbrakes would be good though, to take the load off the esc when slowing down from high speed- hate to see the brakes lockup when doing 80+ mph- front flip carnage indeed..
