Hi, haven't been to Congleton for a few months now with working away during the week. Outdoors is great, you should give it a go. Minis are so much fun outside with 10 car heats !!

I ran the MF01X last night and won one of my heats. I was 1 sec off TQ. Car was great once I sorted the tyres ; softer on the front (?). I ran brushless 17.5t but was still a bit slower due to the weight of the car.

Question - does anyone else have gear mesh issues ? I've stripped one set of gears, and was re-meshing after each heat. I think that impacts cause motor movement. Anyone care to comment ?
Still loving the car.
