Castle 1717 Typhon: Birth of an 8s Beast!

Well, the title says it all. Previously the "1515" Typhon,
this has been something that has been in planning for a while, but the catalyst was actually burning up the 1515 motor on a series of high speed test pulls (showing someone what these cars can do), which just so people know, burning up a 1515 isnt easy to do! At this point, instead of a motor swap on the Mamba Monster 2, I said why not go big and upgrade to 8s! Still on VERY conservative gearing as this was the first test pass of the new setup. This car once dialed in will have no issue running 140+mph on 8s and turning in 0-60 times under a second with a good launch!
