Hi guys,

Engine run in yesterday.
Did a few laps on the track at LHS.
Rough concrete surface.
Track is quite short, only ran with 1st speed.

Running stock setup with front diff.
Off throttle turn-in was good, but car scrubbed off too much speed upon turning in.
Car pushed wide when powering out.

Also, felt the clutch engaging a bit late.

Will re-adjust clutch and stick to current setup and tray somemore, to get my fingers familiarised first.

All in, happy with the car...
I'd suggest tightening the clamp collar on the front diff to get better steering out of the corner. You'll lose a bit of turn in probably but just tighten bit by bit and see.
