So the motor was just a small part of the problem. I think the remaing issues may be comming from the need to make the changes in the suspension that you reccommended. The current setup I have, if I can remeber it all, is .20 springs up front with 25wt. oil in the shock with the gold spring, .08 T-bar with all 3 screws in the mount, purple fronts and grey rears. The track isn't open again until Thursday so we'll see what happens this time. Thanks for your help. And I know all about the golf thing too, maybe that's why all the courses always have the beer cart running around.
Try making the changes to the car I talked about earlier. What you want to achieve is more momentum through the corners. One thing I think I failed to mention is to turn up the throttle trim on your transmitter until the car wants to roll, meaning that you have to hold the brake on to prevent the car from moving. This helps when you enter a corner in that it keeps the momentum up.
