Vendetta Gotta go get a new Vendetta

[dmaynor]

I watched this video now I am heading to get a second Vendetta. This car really slaps. I know this isn't possible for everyone but the price point is low enough that if I want to try a crazy setup ill get a new one.

I love the Felony but I drive like crap. Making a 104mph Vendetta seems like the perfect 4th of July project.

I always wondered why they put a "Mega" style slipper in these. Does it just not matter with the small tires?

Pretty much run locked?

 

[dmaynor]

I ask almost everyone I talk to about that. No-one has a definitive answer. The XO-1 nor Felony are setup like that. The best sounding thing I have been told is the Vendetta is a street basher and the slipper clutch protects to motor in crashes.

Take this with a grain of salt though since someone on Reddit had to tell me/explain to me what a slipper clutch was.

Bro, you've got every bit of respect from me. Not just for what you've accomplished but for how open you are to helping any and all to do the same.
So many folks are secretive now days and that just isn't how it should be.

You go man

Cheapest, best mod for platform is zipties ..solves suspension twist.solve suspension twist then you can tune car to go straight. It's step 1..I use zipties around turnbuckles then to body mount support..ya want zero movement under power an braking

I love this community. It reminds me of the hacker community. People want to share knowledge.

Posi traction...both tires always spinning the same speed at all times

Vendetta 2: The Sequel just cane home from LHS. Before I try to speeder it out I am going to practice driving for a while.

 

[dmaynor]

Testing new Vendetta with a FLIR after a couple of full sends. I forgot to include the temp in the pics, will add it next time around. I really like how you can see the band on the tires of heat.

Yes ok. Good idea. So torque twist is affecting the steering. Makes sense as it never used to do it before upgrading the power system. Good to know. Thanks for the tip.

Main signs of suspension twist is it'll go to the right on acceleration and go to the left under braking.extra weight an more power,torque will cause it to happen worse..zip tie it then tune it to go straight
