when the frame cracks. can you show me the a few pics or what happen to you , i did waring you, this a bad combo. good lucky on burning money on bearing and chians. , and rear swing poping out, unless you use it for a shoping bikeing, and not use on a real downhill track, you going to feel the pian, good lucky dude,
What kind of top speed are you seeing?
I'm waiting keen for performance and reliability reports about your build,
What turned me off was that the chain is under a lot of stress under
power. When the suspension goes through it's travel the rear wheel pulls away from the bottom bracket 35 mm or 1 3/8". That
is a lot, and you can feel that things are not happy when the suspension collapses with the power on. I would definitely go for
a frame with the swingarm pivot close to the top of the chainring.

Remember to keep the battery/esc cables as short as possible and to use a bigger capacitor bank (sold even by castle) if your cables are longer than the stock coming from the ESC and/or your battery are not so big in terms of max discharge rates compared to the max expected peak amps your system needs.
