Phew, i thought that it was just me! I've emailed Schumacher to let them know i have issues with it, they seemed unaware that anyone else had any problem.

Met up with Kompressor at Beachline, interesting to hear about his setup- it goes well for sure!

I went to P2 after seeing his thread...then went back to P3! Car worked well, being very predictable, if a little 'safe'. It was my first time on turf and at that track so i didn't want to to too far off piste with a 'rad' setup (I was on the kit Astro setup, but using P3 instead of P4).

I've gone to lighter shock oils 35wt front/30wt rear for when i'm back to carpet this sunday at the Banana Raceway - discussing the reasons for using lighter oils was enlightening (gear diff too).

Three KCs at the track and all going well (1st in Pro and Indy stock). I was nowhere near as fast as most in 17.5 (i tried the 2nd place guys car after the main - it was a rocket!) I don't use an iCharger and only used 24/76. Motor temp was just under 150F after the qualifiers and main (according to Tekin Hotwire) So, average voltage during a run, is mine a bit low? Is that normal?

Motor temp after the 6 minute main.
