I have a set for my 1/8 onroad project.

That rear wing has to add aerodynamic drag & unnecessary weight

also cool looks and saves the body in a rollover.


who asked about the wing?

awesome work please keep posting OverrevO!

Thx guys!!

thx for the pinion link thats awesome news!


We had no need for the gyro, it go pretty straight the way we setup it.


The wing really have a role to play, run a buggy without wing and i guarantee you will lose control over 50mph, it will spin out. :)

We did changed the wing though, the stock RC8 wing had too much downforce and the buggy was lifting slowly the front end, we had no steering over 75mph lol and sometimes it was lifting slowly, that buggy is very controllable!

Its an ofna hi downforce wing that we have cut a part of the downforce...
just to have the right amount of downforce at 100mph.

Thx for the great comments guys!

Whats the best way to set up the toe in for f/r high speed. I wouldnt think you set it up like a you would on a track. I also am wondering since you have better gearing options now would it be better to switch to a 2200kv motor to lower the motor rpm.

[Over_revO]

We set the rear with a slight toe-in, barely, cant say the degree...i have no idea lol

we try to have the best contact with the road with the camber.
And the most important is to adjust them so its the same left and right, everything need to be very precise... if the car slightly pull left or right it will slow it down.

We will try the 2200 for sure, and may be the Neu 1515 1.5d too.

Do you mean a real neu because I thought the nue 1515 1.5d and castle nue 2650 are basically the same thing.

The Neu 1515 1.5D is a ~2,700 KV 1515 and the CC Neu 2650 is based on the 1512 1Y.

[emaxxnitro]

50 kv more on the neu. but its a bigger motor as the cc neu is a 1512

[Rivermaxx]

OH!!!! boy I have been thinking the wrong thing for a while.

[emaxxnitro]

just tried my MBX5 with 19/46 gearing i got 69.8mph on 4s. im scared to go to 6s with rubber tires. should i get the belted ofnas or the foam ones?
can you show your spur gear mod?

[emaxxnitro]

btw i tried taking the wing off. it landed me a zero gravity roll into some ones front yard lol.you need the wing!

Foams ftw! lighter and able to with stand more speed. I find it hard to believe you got it too go that fast with rubber tires, they usuallly fly apart @ ~60mph causing a crash. How did you check it radar or gps?
