I drive significantly slower with drag brake. Not everyone has the same driving style.

Things really didnt start clicking until we went this way and raised the FDR.

thanks

thanks for the help.

I PM'd you a Big track 17.5 setup (200ft straight) earlier that has worked very well here as well.

Jimmy

Attached is the .PDF of my BIG track settings.

PLEASE NOTE: I run the R1 Wurks dual motor fan, so please be careful with your gearing & ESC Settings. Run for a minute and check to make sure the temps are not getting too high.

Any questions, please post here or PM me. Here is a video of the track and some testing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX53c...eature=related

my car worked great aswell leading the A-main in 13.5 for a handful of laps then a little mishap with lap traffic ended up finishing 2nd.

Warranty

Just received my first speed passion setup. 17.5 Short course ESC/Motor combo. Question I have is warranty. If I direct solder the ESC to the motor will that void my warranty? Also if I change the battery connector? I tried the webpage but it is not working. Thanks.
