Im using a firestorm as a speed run chassis and am looking at ways of keeping the wheels on the ground mainly the front ones i have lowered the truch and this helped alot i was wondering if anyone on here had any good ideas to help keep the wheels down?

Add weight or a small lexan wing or even a touring car type body that will provide more down force to the front ????????????

I made my own wheelie bar for my firestorm out of a piece of thin steel and some airplane wheels. I've heard of people using lead weights on the front end. I also saw an issue of an rc mag about adding various wings to the front, sides, etc. I haven't tried all of these yet. I've hit 55 mph, but haven't really found a good place for speed runs yet. I'm running a Mamba Max 57K w/a 3s Lipo. I also need to experiment with the pinions some more...
