So I finally got a chance to drive my car today after having it built and sitting on my workbench for the last week. It felt incredible! My local track is hot rod hobbies in so cal for anyone who knows it and it really felt hooked up, and that was with a setup I threw on it meant for ocrc in Huntington beach. I couldn't be more stoked about it right now. I'm running the Tekin 2050 with an 18t pinion and 0 timing and power was more than I needed. Temps were about 150 on the motor after 12 min or so and 4 lights on the esc, this is with no vents cut into the body. The only negative is that I absolutely destroyed the kit hole shots! The track was bone dry and ate up my tires! In 3 years of racing I don't think I've wore out a set of tires as thoroughly as I did today after 2 packs! My first race will be at ocrc next Sunday and I can't wait, got my bar codes already glued up and ready to go!!
