Set up a wee track on a mixture of tarmac, concrete and gravel. Surface was wet with some puddles. Tried to set up the new Caster slipper, but found that even with the tension nut fully out I was getting no slip.
I ran the car for about 10mins anyway. It ran well, but I'm having trouble keeping it from swapping ends under power - very tail happy!
Checked the motor temperature and found it barely warm. I changed the 18t pinion for a 22t. Big jump, I realise, but it's all I had!
Ran the car again and noticed it to be a lot more drivable. Bigger pinion - softer power. I also noticed that the slipper had started to work! Another 10mins without incident and checked the motor again. Still cool.
Swapped out the LiPo and then ran it for another 10mins. Excellent. Concentrated on just driving it and started to get a bit of a rhythm.
Good day - Buggy Bonding!
