1) Go light as possible.
2) bigger battery means less pit stops. Also balances the car better than lighter battery.
3) have many many spare parts
4) practice battery changes under pressure - in our case we screamed at the person changing batteries
5) keep the motor COOL with fans - the torque tuned motors liked to be cold
6) slow and steady wins the race
7) reinforce the front steering knuckles with longer screw. I think the kit calls for 10mm we used 12mm.
lol of course in practice last night i snapped a steering knuckle (and i ordered in 12mm screws yesterday too haha) i did have a thought though if i should drill out the hole so i can put a longer screw that goes right to the inner diameter of the knuckle opening. so i can put like a 14mm screw in
