I have bin testing the Photon all day long today.
Made some small changes and the car became faster and faster.
I geared one time lighter by changing from a 25 pinion to a 22 and the car became a bit more lose in the rear.
I changed back to a bigger pinion and it was solved. i'm going to drive a bigger spur gear.
Now I use a 75 and a 25 pinion.
I will go to a 78 Gear and a 26 pinion.
This will make the car more stable in the corners.

Also will I go change my roll center. i will move this up because now the car has to much grip in the corners. I have still a lot of roll but I believe that this can much better.
The car is very easy to drive and my lap times went down and down each time I changed something.
Also the lap times were very consistent.
the slowest and the fastest lap times were not further away than 0,5 sec.
and I drove on save today. I drove only 0,3sec slower than my personal record. But I drove 25 laps in 6 mints wile my record is 25 laps.
I now that i can go much faster when I drive closer to the inside of the corner. And with much I mean faster than my personal lap record.

The car is also incredible strong. i hit several times the side of the track and normally the C hubs and steering blocks break than.
Noting broke today.

Tomorrow I will change some small things.
The car will than go even faster.

Almost ready with my setup. i will post it when I'm ready with my setup.
