yes. keep it simple. I like the current theme. fewer wires, smaller escs, no traction compound nonsense, standard tamiya tires. just focus on driving the perfect line lap after lap after lap. (and learning to achieve the ultimate cornering speed through the perfect combination of steering geometry plus chassis pitch, roll and yaw)

Roger, did the tweaking help in taming your F1 any bit?

There will also be disparities in different combos of bl motors and escs, so the story will be never ending, unless everybody wants to fork out money for the same esc and motor. And even then, there will be variances in quality, esp if you choose lower priced brands. My opinion is that the expense is not necessary at this point as this is just fun racing among friends.
Fastest lap running silver can at our last race layout which used the full length of the straight was 18.3. The main straight takes maybe about 2-3 secs, the remaining corners take 15 secs. Let's keep the focus on this chunk of 15 secs, which is all about cornering speed. When we can all master this 15 secs with perfect lines (and max cornering speed) lap after lap for 20 minutes, then perhaps we take a look at the motors.
btw Owl's car no need 540J.....

sounds like that someone is past his prime and yet still retains megalomaniacal ambitions....
