  5. Senton 3s
  6. Typhon 6s
Imo hoons suck,all of them....I've tried the 85mm,100mm,107mm all no good for me.....the elevans start to Ballon at 90ish mph,cars on donuts at 100mph an all over the road👎.17mm 98mm tall grps are the best option,problem is they are to big an wide.......so here I just did it an looks like it'll work just fine........
So I did previously trim this body for another project,ran 119mph on 3s with this body on 1/8 metal chassis car....
1st I put typhon steering blocks an hubs instead of the stock detta ones....by doing this it narrows car 1/2in...front an rear..

Man those fit REAL nice. Update how they do please.
Will do,that 1/2 in makes a big difference on fitting the grps...I consider myself a pro at trying to fit grps under detta body😆😅🤣😂spend many hrs stareing at this swb 1/8 car with senton6 suspension trying to keep tires from rubbing on detta body for 3s challenge. VERY TIGHT FIT

Yeah Eleven tires are the ony thing holding back some real Vendetta speeds.
Nice speed on 3s (parallel)(y)

I think I can get a 3s 120mph out of it pretty easy.detta is over 2 1/2 lbs lighter than swb 1/8 pink car.an 3.5lbs lighter than swb 1/8 orange car.cant wait to see what 4,5,an maybe 6s will do in this 7.1lb detta.the lightweight detta really shows on 3s logs between these cars....I would always argue with others about how important weight is on rc cars.pullin way less amps,ripple,heat,voltage drop,hell even crashing the car with is very noticeable compared to a 11lb 1/8 car,,not near as violent.car gets to top speed so much faster than 1/8,...
Handling,tuning,aero,etc is so much more finicky on these 1/0 compared to the 9-11lb 1/8.packs where holding 11volts when I lifted on 117mph pas...that's insane

Getting GRP's on there and narrowing the track width to keep them tucked inboard is the key.
 
Do your rims hit the turnbuckle when you steer completely right or left?
