Yes... Well said.

Start with a tame motor Stampy.

You may have an inclination towards whacking the fastest motor possible in all of your previous cars, but you're much better starting with a 8.5t and becoming much more consistent.

At the end of the day, it's no good having a really fast car if you can't drive it properly- especially when racing. When your lap times are consistently quick (consistent is quite a broad term) for a few weeks, that is the time to consider a more powerful motor.

Rather than trying to speed up and down straights outside your residence, why not get a few cones or markers and try to make a rough circuit? Or, ultimately, if possible, try to get down to a local track to race.
