No. I blame my slow car on the novak motor.....

Not my lack of driving skills or incompetent car prep...

Can't it be both?

Just kidding. While I do feel like my car is a dog. I am williing to accept the possibility that I just might not be all that great at selecting timing and gearing, and I know I have an issue behind the wheel. As far as handling goes, my car feels neutral and balanced and I love it. It is far better than I am.

Darkside is Thunder running VTA every week? How about USGT? How about F1? What are the rules on F1? And interest in LMP?

I am no hotshoe and my car isn't "fast", but putting a close approximation of Darkside's setup from the Team Associated site helped my driving a GREAT deal. Help from one of the folks at Bush River Raceway who had a motor checker took my motor from 0.7A to 1.0A and gained about 1000 rpm (your results may vary). If I could drive a consistent line, the car would be good enough to consistently qualify for the A-main at BRR, instead of my having to bump-up from a lower main.

You want the whole rig? Radio and all? The other thing is, isn't there a trick to mailing Lipo batteries?

I have wondered if my issue wasn't in the charger.

Your choice, I have received whole rigs before with batts. There is a limit, but 1 or 2 is ok, I may be mistaken though.

Thanks. I will ask my post office. I appreciate the help too.

At larger events what has the volt meter at tech shown your batteries at? 8.40 is the goal, but 8.39 is OK if you want to get the most out of them and not lose punch at the end of the race.

Per USPS I know you can only ship 2 lipo packs in one of the priority boxes. If you were just sending the motor and battery in a small flat rate box you should be fine.

By whole rig I mean the whole chassis with all electronics and the motor, battery, wheels and shell. If whole rig means esc, motor, and battery, then I can do that instead.
