What can I say .... It' a ROCKET.
I cannot say with precision because I do not have any instruments to measure
the speed, but I think it can reach 130 km/h quite easily.
And I was very very surprised to see the motor was not so hot as I thought .

Sure, I am just able to make up and down on the street, without any turns,
and it's quite difficult to make it running straight on, even if it's longer about
5 cm and it has a Gyro on the steering servo.

Thats the carziest Mini-T ive ever seen!!! Basically a Mini-t dragster. Really cool. Like it alot.

What do you mean by a gyro on the servo? Where did you get the chassis?

This is the way I did mine. I put them back to back on top. Its only way I could make it fit. Having the esc that close to the rx is probably not ideal, but I havent had any issues so far. Here are a few pictures so you can see what I mean.

BTW: I have the mamba 8K also. Total waste IMO if you run lipo. Its way to fast you cant control it. I have 3s and 2s packs for it, but I run it on a 6 cell nimh packs just to make it semi reasonable.
