Still need to get used to the car as its very different to drive to the 210. Has a lot more overall grip, need to play with the camber links to get rid of some grip roll on the higher speed sections of the track.

First time using Orion electrics as well, very impressed with the smoothness, although need to work on the top end, as its no where near as quick as my LRP setup. Turbo/timing isn't really kicking in how I would like it to.
Before we get too far down the, its not fast enough, route.

Check your lap times. I run stock in the US and my orion felt way slower than my older setup in practice, but once the qualifiers started I was one of the faster cars on track and pulling on guys down the straight. My lap times are faster too.

It feels slow because its super smooth and isn't spinning tires.and it may not have that jolt of power like others but its because of how effective its putting the power to the ground.
