I finally got my first race in and it was a blast. I had one ball cup issue, and it was my fault on that one. I had a tough time slowing down the steering. This is the fastest steering truck I have ever driven, I had to open up the wheel stance and slow the servo. I need more time to get the hand of it, but did pretty decent overall. I need to find a decent pinion and want to know what you are using. I have a Traxxas 32p, but am getting a lot of whine. The Tekin 5.0 is perfect for this. I was temping 132, so that is great, and with no fan and 8 minute races, awesome.
