Wanted the front felony diffs but on backorder.so ordered v5 typhon 13/43 strait cuts.for speed running will be fine.replaced every bearing in truck.filling diffs with all heavier fluids.infraction towers & shocks gonna start with 27/46 gearing on 1/8 grp. Monster X 8s esc an a tp4050.still haven't ordered system.heres where truck sits now.will be installing parts as they arrive.

I'm not trying to break records.i just wanna break 100mph,then I'll turn this truck back into park ripping stress reliever. So if it don't help it go straight & fast im taking it off.going lightweight as possible.ive shedded 120 grams so far.in 10lb car 120 grams is a quarter pound makes a difference.0-100-0.fresh rebuild 13/43 strait cut diff with 200,000.new steering blocks, lower arms,hexs,bearings.waiting on towers,shocks rear diff.

Keeping track of grams shedded.HR motor mount will be only metal piece installed.lighter than stock an quik pinion swaps an setting mesh.for instance i removed an cut 53 grams off receiver box & battery tray an almost cut my finger off again with razor knife.

So I've got her setup for testing.wanna see if it'll stay planted an how stable it'll be.27/46 gearing with h-wing 150a an arrma 2050kv motor i had laying around. .this esc has been throu hell an back.see if she will make it throu some tall gearing pulls.still getting things together.i plan on slowly working my way upto 100mph. So I put front kraton towers on front an back to get the body lower.infraction ones should do the job.soon as I get over by my LHS im gonna pick up castle 8s esc.ive shedded alot of weight off this truck.8lbs without packs.gonna try the tp4040 (40×74) 2100kv or 2310kv just to keep weight down.gonna work the smalls out an hopefully see what this setup will do tomorrow.ill shoot short video if it's impressive enough.

doesn't a Noto and Kraton have the same parts other than length of chassis, braces, and center dogbone?

I guess time will tell. Weight vs a Typhon should be very close. Main weight difference is longer arms and driveshafts/CVDs once you take off the big tires. That body might weigh more too, but I don’t own one to know for sure. Im not sure weight is a big issue anyways. Not until you get above 130 at least.
 
If it stays planted i say 100mph no more than that.
I. Not stopping till I hit 100.i got the max6 ready to go.ordered cc 8s esc 2 days ago.im in no hurry,just want to do 100mph.trying to get this truck light as possible.weight an power are top 2 in 0-100-0.i don't even have a speedo anymore.lmao..gnss in near future before I get close to 100.today will be first run with setup.im not going out guns blazing.don't want to total it yet.🤣 just wanna see how she runs.got gyro receiver in it now that should be fun to play with on street.ever seen a SENTON 8S.

It should do it. What batts are you guna run? Im wandering if its guna need a front wing to keep it down.I have thought about doing a speed run with my noto. Stock elect. And tires. But i think it would be catastrophic because of tires. I did top it out on a 17t but i didnthave gps on it. Im figure maybe 65-68mph 🤘
 
I got the backflips upto 60 an they where ballooning big time.
