These are bsr foams that come 104mm but I shave them down to 95mm for these cars
Also, to update this post, the stock body car is now at 161mph and the carbon one is at 169mph. Faster numbers soon

This is a great thread for me to read now that I’m curious about speed running. Thanks man! Did the hot racing servo saver help at all? I’m thinking of putting one on my mini infraction build.

Nope. It actually worked one or two runs for me then became super weak and the car wouldn’t stay straight.
The steering on the vendettas take a bit of work to get stable for high speed runs

Deleted the servo saver and use a short servo horn, swapping the rest of the steering linkage to metal
