Like Brian, I just blip off the throttle on corner entry and then right back to full wood. As the top comes off the battery I don’t even lift fully....just breathe the trigger slightly. And also like him, I prefer running a motor that’s fast enough to require some finesse with the trigger. But these days 17.5 is where it’s at in 1/12th scale and the car’s work so well that full wood driving is not all that unusual. To my mind, that’s clear indication that we should be running more motor. Still, if one wants to race, one must accept the will of the majority.......so we soldier on with 17.5s.
