We have an '9 sec lap' track with ETS carpet which get build up every day. Although it's a local race it attracts more drivers then a National race and competition is quit high. My MI6evo was one point after 2 years of testing and setup.
The MI6evo ran 9.7, the MI7 ran 9.5. So I've broken my personal record and the track record (by 0.1). The car felt good, but the setup is not quite there yet (also missing some essential setup parts for the car). Then again it's already faster after a hand full of practice runs.
Just an awesome car. Fellow racer ran his MI7 for the second time and also broken his personal record and loves the car, really easy to run, really safe, yet extremly fast.
Awesome job from the Schumacher team! Can't wait for the next track day!

I need to change my answer. Yesterday I had a race meeting with a lot of drivers attending. 17.5t, hand-out motor, ETS Carpet track '9 sec laps'. I noticed the in a 6 min run that the last minute I lost a tiny bit of power compared to a 8000mah Lipo. I haven't noticed it in lap times, but now seen it on track. It's not much and still could take the win, just got really tight at the end.
Like I said above yesterday I had my First race meeting with the MI7 after a hand full of practice runs.

Most people are running mid motor. Its easier to drive hard with the mid motor.

Just wanted to double check where everyone was measuring droop on the car. I’m guessing when using the droop gauge and spacer we’re just picking up the very edge of the outer carbon fiber arms?

Ran the mid motor with a 21.5 for the first time on sweep 32's, and with an old mazda 6 body on a new track layout for the first time. At first I was nervous in Run 1, which went ok, but better in run 2 with slight adjustment to ride height. Then for the third run, I found that the car was good.
Did experience some traction roll, which you can see in video that I recorded, which is currently uploading.
Overall I am impressed with the car, and it is faster than my older TC.

SMJ sells it, ref SMJ1025. I usually put a 2cm piece at each end of the battery, so there is less friction and I can do several chassis with one sheet.
