Things didn't go as well as I was anticipating, didn't even get to book in mainly because I am an idiot. I used a charging lead to connect up to the speed controller - result 2 1/2 laps of practice and smoke pouring from under the bodyshell, lifted shell off & found melted wiring. So I went home kicking myself all the way.

Removed all wiring and replaced it with the correct gauge wire, it now looks a lot neater under the shell & the shell fits properly again. Tested the car out using the L IPOs that were in when things shorted out and luckily Speed Controller, Batteries & Sensor Board were all fine but it could have been a very costly mistake.

Now I'll try again on Wednesday if I can make it otherwise next Sunday.
