I looked at my other thread, and decided it was long enough. I have also transitioned into another phase of hop-ups and mods to this rig. The RX8/T8 1550kv combo has proven to be a winner, I have tremendous power on tap, and its manageable to a point. I still suffer some handling issues, but those are being addressed accordingly.
These are the issues I ran into on my Alpha build, and what I am going to focus on in this Beta build.
First and foremost I still have a wheelie issue when geared at 34/63 it only shows in the last 1/10th of the trigger range, but the truck just blows right over. If I do speed runs I will have to weigh down the front.
Then I have a cornering issue coupled with horrible body roll. to combat this I muggified my E-LST2. At this time I am still using the lst2 shocks, they are just limited with some fuel tubing. Doing this seemed to really give me more control in the corners, and reduced the body roll immensely.
I know right now I am sitting too high and I need to adjust some things, but it worked, so next on my list are the muggy shocks. (just bought shocks today) here are the pics as it sits now.
