Man… build it’s just like in the second picture. 8 inch wheelbase, that way you can spin in circles at 119 miles an hour. 😐 😂

Drill 2 holes throu chassis to mount xlx2..by using 20mm taller tires it helps with the 1270kv..gains 23mph by using 118mm 1/5 compared to 98mm 1/8 grps..ordered a dedicated 5s pack for this car..good 5s packs are hard to find at moment.when flipping motor mount ya loss room For packs.should get high 115-120mph with gearing,will do 1st testing on 4s thou..suspension should be close to good since I pulled it off 1/7..no shocks,pure speedcar..hopefully the heavy motor will help get traction with the wide azz grps..
