New RC toy came today. This one can be justly said to be too fast. With 3s 6000mah battery, it would wheelie at all speeds if full throttle is pressed. People tested it with factory battery going 50-53mph.

Mine Broke the wheelie bar at full speed. Legit keeper.

Nice. My SavageFlux is a monster with a 4s configuration. Similar speed to yours and goes up to the 60s with the 6s config.

I finally replaced the factory controller with a Traxxas controller that I could tune from my phone and it made all the difference in being able to control it. No more of the throttle feeling like an on/off switch.

Well, hoping I can make it another 4 years and 4 months which is when the Navy Reserve retirement Brinks truck begins dumping cash at my door and paying my health insurance every month.

Australia...figures. Before the start I was confused why they had the trucks on jacked suspension and large tires while on asphalt until they came around to the jumps! I love the torque lift in the front. Reminds me of the old dirt days.

and yes, gnat, the pic did look like RC trucks.

SST has been a support series for Indy car for a while now. They ran at Watkins Glen a few years ago and it was as great as you'd think. They often run a shorter version of the track of available and they know exactly how insane it is.
