      Get a shock equalizer. Shocks set up equally improve handling. Even more so in a straight line going REALLY fast. How many build their shocks emulsion style? My biggest advantage when it comes to handling that much power and speed

    My DR10 is the most exotic RC vehicle I’ve ever owned. Titanium everywhere. Carbide speed bearings. Lockout slipper clutch. Ground effects package. Front and rear canards. High downforce rear wing. Kashima shocks. Everything but a carbon fiber chassis. I still don’t think I need one. I do well without one. Very well. Much more stable than the carbon cars. You still have to make it to the finish line and way too powerful and light usually doesn’t make it that easily. It even has titanium wheel nuts. I have touring car technology in this one. I go to Australia to get my touring car sh*t…

    Cool video man hey I think there's a few things you ought to look into or at least try check out the new monster grip traction compound they sell the whole kit with pre-grip and tire conditioner and then the traction compound it works excellent it softens the rubber nice and supple for reaction tires and check out straight line spoilers I've got a few of them and they work great

I wasn't sure if the DRK had sweet spot on the end bell for timing ? Thanks Buddy

      slipper and 250k in the diff. use your esc or radio to control your launch. start low and find out how much it will take..smooth is fast..build the speed down the line. it will change throughout the day based on the road..your tires and the prep and heat

      Start with a new model in the radio and then calibrate the esc per maclan instructions. If it still is in reverse then change the motor direction in the maclan app and not the radio. You can also swap 2 of the motor poles so desolder 2 of the wires from the motor and swap them and resolder.
