I was gonna get a different. Steering arms and the m2c motor mount that should losen it up a little. That's on the stock mount by the way.

Are you able to do a standing backflip?
Can you flip I the air and land with a 800kv and that gearing?

You can if you have traction. I think a 35-37 pinion would do better. Haven't tried one yet - will depend on steering clearance.

That motor just fit in a v2 limitless but not by much. Thought I'd try 39-45 gears
