That one worked straight away. Hmmm.

May as well do my war and piece again. Got into this in October indoors on polished floors with complete out of the box (yep those kit shocks incl). Me and my 11 yr old son enjoyed it and have been improving ever since.

We are now at the stage where we both made the A finals and i got a 3rd overall with fastest lap of the day and he came 7th with second fastest lap of the day. Well chuffed.

Cars are pretty sorted at the moment as i have been helped by a local who is recognised as one of the best at setting up the cars at the club. Running torque tunes motors our cars were clearly faster than everyone other than the 1st & 2nd who are both previous national champs.

Mine did suffer with one problem. It ran the first 2 heats amazingly fast. But from that point on it started dropping off the speed gradually. By the end i was on full throttle without needing to slow down for corners. By the next race i would get a few laps of fast then gradually dropping off again. It was enough to come 3rd but not get anywhere near the top 2 and it was purely the car not going fast enough, which it was in the first 2 heats.

I have taken it to a friend who is going to direct solder the motor to the esc and is going to check all the other solders for me. I have also bought a heatsink/motor mount to help with heat.

I am running the standard esc and the torque tuned motor.

Any suggestions?
