A bump the size of a pin head maybe- that is perfectly flat concrete afterall, not a cambered tarmac/ black-top side road; this is the issue we're talking about though, how unsuitable the XO-1 is for use anywhere besides a purpose-built track...

The only video I consider a valid blow over you posted is the last one. And that one specifically states he did NOT use the splitter. You HAVE to use the splitter.

I don't see why people are complaining about the XO-1. 100mph is not joking around, and a 10.5lb car at 100mph and a flat pan chassis WILL lift if air gets underneath it. Traxxas didn't put the splitter there for no reason, and they tell you to USE IT. And if you hit a bump at 100mph it WILL catch air. It doesn't take much more than a centimeter or two extra gap to lift the car at 100.

So all this complaining about the XO-1 is stupid. Its not like the problems people are having are unexpected and have never been encountered. If you are gonna make a 100mph run dial down the dual rate, and take care with the throttle.

I crashed my truggy at 36mph the first time I attempted to roll into the throttle on 6S. It was a combination of cold/damp pavement, cold tires, and a throttle curve I hadn't mastered yet. Now I can handle the car on 6S with little trouble. I know how fast I can feed it throttle input before shocking the tires loose.
