I had the whole plan of using a lot of space to get up to speed. To my surprise even on 6s power I'm not having that much traction issues. I would guess within the first hundred feet I'm full throttle with little/no wheelspin. This leads me to believe the nose of the car is plenty heavy. I just need to add rear downforce to keep the rear in check. And now the more I think of it maybe the extra downforce from the nose of the car is the reason the rear gets so light and comes around off throttle. In my one video you can hear the nose scraping pretty bad and its really not that low. I'm also getting ready to change the gearing completely.

Found an old his speed body and painted it a few weeks ago. Recently I've been in building mood so I tinkered with it a bit more. Just felt like sharing what she looks like now. It still needs work the way it sits but it looks better now. Looks faster sitting than it ever went.
