Everyone who drove it was grinning ear to ear it was so much fun.

I think it needed some throttle or esc adjustments because just touching the throttle would cause the car to leap forward, slow corners required careful modulation to negotiate them. You could hit the straight and with less than half throttle go faster than anything else on the track, then half way down punch it and it would spin the tires until the shut off point. It was so much fun i almost peed my pants

Damn that thing was fun to drive
For others who are curious, it was linger's 12L4, and IIRC it was a 2s2p 2.0ah 20C kokam. WAAAAYYYY too much motor/battery for that track, but definately a kick to drive, no battery fade, and tons of runtime. I think we stopped after 10 minutes when the speed control started thermaling
