Guys are clearing sections with ease while I feel like I need a bigger run and struggle to make it. I thought the 1410 4 pole was the cats meow but it feels small and runs hotter than most guys are seeing.

Just rebuilt my trannies, they're super smooth and it rolls well when it's not meshed with the motor.

Track is indoor clay, most guys run 21 second laps. It's a tighter track but a lot of the turns are banked sweepers.
