UP date first run!!!

Ok I am a little disappointed here. I spent good money on this setup. I was thinking I would have some scorched melted plastic from the friction going through the atmosphere. Yet I was only able to get to warp 8.9. What gives here? I thought for sure I would hit warp 9.0 to 9.5?

OK all joking aside. When you hammer the throttle, this thing fly's!!! I was 3/4 of the way down the straight and had 2 blow overs, to many wheelies to count. OOOHHH so much fun.

This was the first time driving a new truck on a new track. I was messing with the setting as I went. I did have to bring the brakes up to 90% and reverse to 80%.

I was watching the temps all night long. Highest was 126 degrees after about 40 minutes of run time. First time draining a 5000mah battery at the track. Used to breaking something before pack is empty.

So, with temps in the 120 to 130's, can I go up a tooth or two on the pinion? I did so many 360's from to much throttle. Hard to keep the tires planted. I am running new Bar Codes, gold with a coat of Monkey Spunk tire sauce. Still had a hard time keeping the rear tires from spinning.
