The suspension has < 1/2 the travel of a stock maxx with the revo shocks which I think is pretty good considering its supposed to be a monster truck . The truck as it sits right now is > 10#'s and I'd like to get it right at or under 10#'s. Most of the weight is moved towards the front and under acceleration some of the weight should tranfer towards the back. As far as the truck lifting off I really dont think that will be a problem. The weight moved forward, sloping front hood and the low cog should keep it on the ground. Most of the videos I have seen with lift off or wheelies are small 3# cars and big tall high cog MT. If you watch OverrevOs video he didnt have any problem with lift off @ 70-91.2 mph.
Keep the ideas coming I appreciate them as my brain is on overload trying to figure out how to do this thing right any I deas are taken into cosideration. I personally dont think I will hit a 100mph but having that goal is something to strive for. As for the record I think you have to have 2 passes withen 5% of each other for the record. Understand I am competing in electric open wheel class which means buggies, truggies,MT's and no limit on voltage. Current official ISC record for open wheel is like 58mph, which I could probably do backwards LOL. The old (Not a class anymore because of lack of participents) current official top speed record for MT is 72 mph which was a wheely king. Fastest official E-maxx is like ~70 mph. I already hit 67mph about 1/2 throttle and letting off my first time out with the good foam tires. I see no problem beating that as long as I can get the truck to go straight. If I hit 80mph I will be happy as hell! How many MT's or emaxxes have you seen do that. Not many, and definatly no e-maxx. Its easy to make a onroad car go fast but making a vehicle designed for offroad go fast is definatly a challenge.
