Just teasin' Paulie!! Yes they can be abit outta control out there, but like we talked about there are places where it pays to be EP and places for GP on the track.

Anthony can we get a go ahead on the timing system? or do we need a test day?

I will be picking up genny today for a slight tightening and tune up...so no power probably till Saturday afternoon.

Ok, I found out a few things:

The ackerman was rubbing on the steering lobe causing some friction AND at full jounce the CVD's bind some of the steering...so solutions were to dremel the lobe and reduce droop. I probably just overheated the servo...

Had some glitching between Castle Link software versions (have 3.12 at school (can't upgrade without admin rights) and 3.16 at home) the set up seemed to reverse my motor direction for some weird reason, but I caught it before running on the track.

Tires and punch control are going to be the ticket on the big track.

Here's a question, when I hit the brakes, coast and the brakes again do I go into reverse as I did not go forward yet?

The Fusion build starts tomorrow!!!
