couple months ago I decide to give speedrunning a try.GOT HOOKED!!. The adrenaline rush is for Real.found out what a handful swb is on 8s an throu in the towel after I got to 103 then kept losing control an crashing over an over....THE NOTORIOUS ISNT THE BEST FOR SPEED..LOL.so I decided to start from scratch. Been ordering parts and they been coming in.so I decided its time for build thread..not 100% sure what exactly I want to build,start with a lwb V5 kraton chassis An start throwing things together as I decide what I want.i add something every day till complete.
So day 1 start with a blank canvas an see where it gos...this build isn't for how fast I can go on 4s,5 an half S,its for TOP SPEED AN BEATING MY PB ANY WAY I CAN.

Look forward to seeing what you put together bro! And the competition will be fun too! Can't wait to get my Lim hoping by end of next week and probably get started piecing it together day it shows up.
 
Getting somewhere...any secrets to mounting castle 8s????no mounting holes is everyone velcroing or 2 sided taping?????

I used some 3m double sided mounting tape works great! I do run the stock ESC mount though just had to trip the lip that is on the motor side and remove the wire holder piece👍

For sure! Me too, weather has not been cooperating at all. Was hoping to get some shake down runs and get her straightened back up today and woke up to few inches of snow LMAO so maybe next couple days🤷

Should run Y wind with the MMX8S. I’ve already gone thru a couple D wind on the MMX8S and XLX2. Updated my XLX2 now so my TP 4050CM 2300kv D wind should be ok going forward. It has ran hot as F until now. Had to replace it once already. Hoping for cooler temps.

I’m measuring 383mm wheelbase on a Kraton chassis, infraction front and rear assemblies and factory set rear toe. With zero degree rear toe I measure 389mm. The vette body is 360mm wheelbase but I had to compromise in the rear with body lines not being 100% perfect

pretty much anything that will fit the Inferno long wheelbase GT 360mm is what you’re after.
