Hi.
I finally managed to put my car on the move. I had second run last night.
The setting is by manual except camber because, from the first run, the car was spinning everywhere. The camber now is 3 and feel great driving.
The issue I have right now is gearing. The power system is castle sidewinder 5600kv first version with 24t pinion.
The car was sloooow and the esc got so hot that i can barely touch it after less than 10 min drive. I grinded the battery post - plastic part- and 24t was the biggest i could fit in. I almost cried looking at other bigger pinions on my hand.
Thinking about getting exotek conversion kit but feel stupid to invest almost 100 just for pinion fit. Should I?
