Best bet is you are getting too much air under the nose. Get the nose down as far as possible. It can scrape a little bit, that is OK. It will wear down to a point where it won't scape anymore.I got 67mph with 3S that is a new PB, on the set up I don't think I will be going any faster I might be able to pull off 1 or 2 more teeth on the pinon, I am happy with that run, but all my other runs (3S and 4S) the car would fly, 4 different times mid 60's and the car would float 0in-6in off the ground and gracefully land. My rake seems good it is about a centimeter different from front to rear, also I just seem to have not enough traction I wonder if the old C7 body does not give enough down force or if I should add weight. Some of the runs were on Hoons and some were on S3's. Would anyone be able to give me some help I just can't get this car to go fast and not crash.
Alright, I am working on the Felony today it is the 1st time since I crash it, I finally have the money to get a better body and transmitter for it, so I am fixing it and trying to set it back up and better. Hoping to get to 100mph before the season ends, I did not make an overall PB speed wise this year and that would be a very nice way to end the speed running year.
The 2 questions I have are: 1. should I run the carbon skirts of just take them off? And if I should leave them on why, I am not even at 100mph. 2. Do I even need my rear diffuser? I think it would help protect the car if I cashed but for the diffuser part of it, I do not know, since the Hobao is over 180mph without one (stock chassis VTE2 McCoy).
I can second that. Stopped using the forged carbon diffuser on my vte2. It does not add significant downforce.I wouldn't count on the diffuser sucking the car to the ground providing the needed downforce. As you noted the VTE2 is running fine without one. I also have reason to believe that the 10 or less mm ground clearance is not enough for that to work correctly.
I do like the extra space the skirts offer. And nowadays I use m3 duallock to keep the body attached(and stiffend) So i like to have the chassis as wide as the body.@LibertyMKiii @rotauq Thanks for the input. What do you guys think about the side skirts? Keep or say goodbye, if I would remove them, I would put foam on the sides to keep the body from flapping.View attachment 248330

Remove a little more tubing?I am struggling to get the sock end on with the fuel-tubing. Can anyone one help?

I am thinking I might have to pull the shaft though the shock put the fuel tubing, the end, and the spring on and then put it back through the shock put the nut back on and then refill it with oil, this is going to take a long time...Remove a little more tubing?

Would you know how @vwturbowolf? McCoy did not show.I am thinking I might have to pull the shaft though the shock put the fuel tubing, the end, and the spring on and then put it back through the shock put the nut back on and then refill it with oil, this is going to take a long time...
I think the @ did not work since I edited it in, sorry if it did and I just doubled pinged you. @K-BASH @vwturbowolf @real_name_hiddenIs it worth trying to tighten, shim and super glue everything on my car or should I just put this one under the table and get a V2 or a VTE2?
Everything is loose in the back from the arm on both ends to the shock eyelets to the diff pinon. For that matter the whole car is sloppy. Also, every time I take something apart, I find something that is bent, broke, or stretched.

My go to is slipping washers in and tightening everything down real good then when there’s still slop get the glue the glue works. I’d go for it.Is it worth trying to tighten, shim and super glue everything on my car or should I just put this one under the table and get a V2 or a VTE2?
