Nice 1/8. Ive got an HPI RS4, PICO .15 motor, aluminum top deck, 2 speed trans, geared for top speed, The rubber tires deform at top speed so I went to foams. Ive never had it clocked but ive been told my setup will get 65-70 mph at redline

Nice setup.. I think I may get e 2 speed tranny for mine too.. but later.. First week I ran it, the receiver batteries died and I lost control in my driveway and it went and got stuck under a car.. But it was still at WOT.. and I could not reach it.. for like two minutes.. by the time I managed to get it turned off the damage had been done.. nothing broke.. but my front and rear differentials melted... and they were made of steel... hahah

I see allot of people go through piston and sleaves quickly from running too lean. You should always see a light trail of blue smoke on acceleration. And let it warm up before getting on the throttle.
