What does your body and wing look like? Pics? Tires? Lipo? Need more info.

But what does the body look like? There are a lot of great speed guys here @jondilly1974 and @LibertyMKiii being a couple with lots of knowledge. I don't know much when it comes to speed but I do know after where you are at aerodynamics are a huge factor. Good luck?
 
I cant say I have seen the stock body make it much past where you are at.

Ok so here’s a few tips that I’m paying forward that I received from others.

1) Trim that wing. Get it as close to flat as possible, or replace it with a flat wing.

2) Get Limitless towers and shocks to lower the front profile. I can’t tell from the angle of the pic, but you want that thing slammed as low as possible. Get the front down a little lower and get the rear as stiff as possible.

3) I’ve see others running the Typhon body and get into the 130’s but much past that and you’ll want to look for a GT style body. Check out what @phildogg does on his TY channel
 
She is pretty with what seems to look like a great setup for where you are heading.

You’re on the right track. Further ahead than I am in most aspects. ??
 
Cool,thanks,going to up the pinion some more and put wing on and try again, been doing this for 20 years but new to speed runs.
I know on my Typhon 3S the wing kept making my nose pop up anything over 85. I flipped it (wing) over and lost all brakes ?? Took that B off and hit 93. Put a GT body on and hit 96 before a side wind picked it up and tossed it in a ditch. ? Looks like Monday is going to be very little wind and warm enough to get some passes in. Hoping to crack 100 on this thing once and for all. I will move on to my Typhon 6S after that.

Sounds good,I have wrecked some myself, flipped it 15 times and lands on all 4,s and I drive it back,these cars are pretty durable

Put a GT body on it and it’s even tougher. ??

I trimmed my wing some more and put a different pinion on and my new PB is 114 but esc was up to 170
