Custom LCG chassis

[yeti_87]

So im chasing a goal of 80mph+ top speed. But even with a wheelie bar, i can't get over 55mph without the air getting under it and flipping it over. So ive made my own custom ultra LCG chassis out of a sheet of 1/16" aluminum. Its a little flimsy right now but ill be getting 1/4" aluminum "key stock" type bar to make some stiffening rails. The couple inches sticking out past the front suspension is where im going to mount an 1/8 scale buggy rear wing to act as a front "splitter". It will also act as aplace that i can add some weight to it if need be. I also upgraded the turnbuckles to the common traxxas adjustable ones, and put RPM front control arms on it cause the stock ones had too much play at the pins. Lmk what you think. Keep in mind this is basically "beta" form lol

Hard for me to see on my old shot phone, but what electronics are you using? Motor looks green, so castle? I can see the battery plug, looks like a stock plug, is it enough amp wise for your set up? Just curious about your build. What else you got for goodies in there? I like what you're making here
