i did 100mph last summer with this 8ight. i had video of it up for a long time.
here's what i did:
1. locked the center diff with playdough (very important)
2. geared it 43/25
3. mamba 2650 motor on 40C 6S lipos
4. Losi rally tires (now GRP tires...aren't they freakin amazing?)
5. adjusted the throttle curve to a more aggressive acceleration.
6. RCM motor mount
i just got a pistix to run the phoenix HV 110. i wanna try 8S, but i'm having a hard time trying to design a place to put the servo for the manual brakes.
i dig your buggy. very nice indeed. can you get a 25t long bore pinion for the tekno setup? can you post a link please? if so i might build another, so i can install a brake servo. it looks like yours will accomodate it easily. that is one sick chassis design.
also, those rally tires take forever to wear out. i probably have close to 80 packs through mine and their still sticky. i bought some back-up sets as well, but i'm not sure i'll ever need them. LOL
anyway, very cool design man.
