did my first racemeeting with the car yesterday

17.5boosted on carpet
the track had medium traction at start and the car was quite nice to drive in practice, using yokomo springs (jeffs hangar setup, but with 3k oil in the rear diff and yokomo springs)
when qualy started the traction went up and the car got quite hard to drive, lost the rear in fast corners and it just felt lazy in the corners.
changed to tamiya white/blue springs, added 0.5spacers to widen the car in the front and removed the carbon fiber piece in the steering, the car was a dream to drive! i was quite tired after way too little sleep so my driving wasnt at the best (finnished 6th in the a) but i must say that i really love the car, just keeps getting better and better!
had a couple of hard hits (one of them being full speed crash into a barrier) and nothing broken, really impressed with the quality of the parts!
