Yes...I did, within a few batteries...I was actually very surprised it happened so quickly...and I know I can find more speed in the car with some more time.

More importantly I could consistently match the times. Normally I run about 34 laps in 6.01, using the xray with my best being 35 6.08 I think. With the serpent on my first run was a 34 6.01 and my second run was 35 6.9, with some driving mistakes, so I would say it is consistently fast.

The car felt very smooth with the setup I posted. There are some things I want to improve on like rolling through the middle of the corner more and having less rotation on exit, but I am only looking for small incremental changes there. When I get the ECS I think that will take care of the middle of the corner, and once the gear diff wears in a little more I think that will take care of the exit rotation.

I am extremely happy with the results from the first day of testing.

Cheers.

Martin.
