Granite I thought it's smaller than the mini granite and not a granite and fast. Should i of but this under general chaos?

Just finished switching everything over to a new frame and motor mount on my oldest son's Dromida mt18. Now has a 7800kv HW brushless motor and a blx 120amp esc on 3s. Running on a Airtronics Mx3 radio. Ran the and got these speeds. At 48mph truck flipped over twice. Not sure if it was from wind blow over or punch level 1 kicking in and wheeling over ? Either way I'm first going to shorten the front shocks and put two holes in the back window for air to escape. If that doesn't help weights will be added to the front bumber. The truck was surprisingly stable at those speeds and straight!!
And yes I realized that I plugged the steering servo in to the esc and the esc into the servo on the reciever!!
After I turned truck and remote on and hit the gas and the wheels turned left, when I turned the remote wheel left I hit myself

self. Ya you all laugh I know.

The 48mph was only 3/4 throttle. In the 1st 48mph crash only the steering rod broke and, I fix with baking soda and crazy glue. This mix hardens like steel. You can sand it, drill , and tap. Crashed again at 48mph and held up.

Looks cool! You say its smaller, how much smaller? Do you have a Granite you can put next to it for a size comparison?

Also makes my OCD hurt... Can you swap the two rear tires so the tire tread all goes the same direction?

I really haven't looked at the new granite grom. If its 18th scale its probably a little bigger than this truck.I did not notice the tire tread.I bet that's why I keeped flipping over???
Sorry about flaring up your OCD
I hate working with screws that are too dam small and my thumbs are to big and my eyesight sucks for small dam screws on the truck

I haven't looked at the measurements on the new mini granite.

Years ago i hit myself with my HPI Baja 5b ss right in the shin had the 4 inch mark from the proline bumberfor years. Landed right in my side. NO BODY SAW IT, so it technically didn't happen

The trucks are the same size.
I was expecting it to be a little bigger. It looks like the cups are plastic? I hope the axles are metel. Only 4 replacement parts at this time.

They had a whole slew of upgrades including metal cups, hexes and other stuff that mysteriously vanished…
I’m thinking they pulled it all once the alternate Grom chassis leaked.
