I am running the castle 3800 4 pole with the sidewinder esc. i mounted the fan on the esc and use the 48p spur. i recently put a 22t pinion in and did some wot runs to get to temps and still am in the 140 deg range. the esc is cool to the touch. I notice that there is a lot of front end lift with wot. I have 30k in the front diff and 10k in the rear. i have the white springs in the rear and stockers up front. how can i tame the front end lift a little? i am losing some of the front traction as the front wheels are nearly off the ground.
I get very little of the slipper fade that people with the 550 cans are getting. I checked it yesterday the pads are a little glazed. i scuffed them up and ordered new ones.
thanks in advance.

I would think of extending your wheel base in the rear. This would help put more weight over the front wheels at all times.
