Well I had a club meeting today and I can say the car was very fast. We had the nationals here a few weeks ago and the best lap in 13.5 was 21.7. I did a 21.6 today!!!!! My race time was only 1 sec off the fastest ever too.

I used the following settings on our huge track:

Xray T2008
Novak 13.5 old version
gear ratio 4.0:1

AMTS Timing 7 degrees
DRRS Max
Boost Max
Punch setting 2
Motor temp around 70 degrees

I think the important thing is to have the AMTS setting quite low.

I do have one problem though:

If I hit a curb from time to time the throttle position changes. This is very frustrating and happened in the final. After I hit the curb the car ran slowly (felt like half throttle). When I reset the ESC it is all good again.

Has anyone had this happen before? I realise I may be able to fix this by setting full throttle at less than a full pull of the trigger but dont really want to do that yet.

regards
Michael Jones
