So we put a few laps in, and have to say it drives very well. Son is still getting used to the power delivery - I will change the profile in the ESC, more on that later.

Put about a solid 15 minutes of running in - parking lot until body is finished then we will hit the track.

Motor never got above 125, and ESC stayed around ~98-101. Mind you these are all temps without the body on, and its 85 out with 61% humidity here.

The drive off the line is immediate and very direct although I noticed you have to watch the front to rear Diameter Bias on the tires. you can easily break the front loose once you get into the higher RPM's - I will play with the bias here in a bit.

It drives very well, reminds me of my Pro10 days, and the rear is similar to the chassis that had wide pods (Delta Villian, RC10L & maybe the TRC Pro 10).

The front end also reminds of kinda of the 200mm 4wd cars, having a one way setup, but the fronts reaction is different that 1/8 IC cars which I believe may be because of the lighter weight carried on that axle.

You get a bit of torque twist once you get the Motor to deliver its full potential too abruptly. If you use a smooth throttle delivery the torque does not over-ride the belt and cause the tweak front to rear. - I will see if the new throttle profile will help with that as well.

Sofar we can't wait to put some Foam down onto the track soon.

-only other updates since the last pics are the addition of the chassis protector tape, and the application of silicon spray to the belt to minimize dirt and debris.
