Finally got my new ESC and properly wired up the car. Took it out to the track this weekend for more testing and tuning and so far its going good. It was especially hot today to the 7000 diff oil I used seemed really thin. I changed it out to 15000 and the rear end felt more planted. The shocks are not really smooth and it feels like the shaft is grinding on the guide bushings. The car still felt alright on the track, but I something must be done to fix that problem.
The rest of the car still felt pretty strong. I still need to mess with the car's setup and the new ESC settings as well. hopefully the car will be fully dialed soon
