The motor temp was about 140º~145º

The guys who were running Thunder Power motors were faster than me.
On the back straight they would just close the gap sloooowly…
In the infield, it didn't feel quick either. I just suck.

Hopefully, the motor will perform better in my Touring car on asphalt.
20 degrees is a very conservative timing number. If your car is slow, don't be afraid to bump it up.
Timing can make a night and day difference; but be sure that you are using an R1 Wurks fan.
