I have a brushless RC8 buggy with a 1518 castle motor geared for about 70 and verified by GPS....but anyway...it is rock solid stable at 70mph. I can even throw it around back and forth at that speed swaying back and forth down my street.
It does not lift up and blow over...not even close...completely rock solid.
Now, I had a full bodied 1/8 scale LXE onroad car that would blow over at about 50mph if you nailed the gas. I sold it a week later because it was on its lid more than its wheels. Went back to my buggy and the stability it offers.
Something about the full body that acts like a parachute once a little bit of air gets under it. buggies just dont lift up and blow over like that.
I say the X0-1 owners should try to take the body off and all that crazy ground effects stuff that causes their cars to get airborn the second they go sideways off and find some type of buggy body. I bet the X0-1 owners will actually find more stability....with something other than a full body..... I could be wrong...would not be the first time...haha.
That is my experience with full bodies and such....my experience may not be what the masses have seen.
But something tells me the x0-1 would do better without the full body and flat bottom ground effects acting like a parachute.....All I know is my RC8 buggy has never even come close to blowing over at 70mph. And it is not even lowered!!!!
