How many of us use the information provided to us after a run to evaluate our overall performance, car and driver?
Fast lap vs Last Lap over the course of a run in regards to battery performance and gearing/timing?
Motor Temp vs gearing/timing, I know we all look at this, but have you factored in the voltage of the battery after your run and how much we are putting back?
Heat race gearing vs 8 minute main gearing?? How many change gearing for each?
The car whose tires are "squerking" vs the faster car that doesn't make a sound in the corner?
Is your car a touch "pushy" loose in the front side of the run and get better later, or is it on rails up front and tighten up and slow down later?
I know we have all experienced a "soft feel" to the car somewhere in the run, but have you used the above to help diagnose the issue, or just adressed gearing timing?
On our current layout, I will typically use around 950 mah on a 6 minute run and about 1200 on an 8 minute run, with battery voltage at 8.1V after 6 and 8v after 8.
Just a random question to think about
people like you take the spirit out of VTA just throw it down and drive it!
