in the article they altered the rear wing so there is not as much downforce, but that was a problem they had!

But they're definitely not getting 30-45 minute run times.

aaaahhh, no. yeah, plus a ladder and a really really flat and large surface to run on! they said the hardest thing was getting traction and having enough range to get up to speed. even with 100mph they felt like there was more left in the car!

i use the CC 2650kv on 6S, its ballistic! all you have to do is gear the hell out of it. also, notice what they did to the rear spoiler in the article. they removed the rear swept portion to decrease rear down force, other wise you will wheelie at about 85mph.

i think near the beginning of this thread, someone mentioned that their fastest run was done with their front wheels in the air!! i think that mod will take care of that. also give you more steering.
