Building A Drag / Street Ve8 Buggy Need Advice !

[PBO]

A couple of points;

The warmer the cells, the lower the resistance. Speed runs like cells that are warm & ready to go...I warm mine before a run to get the best from the first run or two. It works well, a lot of boat guys do the same. Give them a quick peak charge as they are warming too

Weight can be your friend with speed runs also however it does increase acceleration times

Ditch the bling

Not sure about your RC experience but driving a buggy in a straight line at 50 is easy enough, 60 gets a little harder. 70 is the threshold speed IMO, everything past this point is a challenge...100 is probably twice as hard as 70

You will need to spend time on your throttle & braking setup also. Braking at 100 is tricky also...I use some initial drag brake (say 15%) to let it settle off throttle & then brake (say 35%) to a slow stop
