So it was Maritime last night, and my word what a different car I had on my hands! Shave a full second off last weeks times and 2 seconds off my average, reducing the gap from best lap to average lap to only one second, "for me" a massive improvement.
The rear lowered pod along with the front conversion is an absolute no brainer; which one is having more affect I have no clue, to be honest, I don't care. Car has so much less body roll, a hair of understeer for a change, so I'm pumped about that!
Now for the downsides... I'm not sure if this is because of the much improved handling, but the car since last week feel much slower off the mark, and takes until quite a way down the straight to get up to top speed, and that is considerably down on other cars.
I can't help thinking my weight is still an issue; 1030kg with shell and battery. The wires seemingly have made very little difference. (Check out my photos for car setup)
I all tried some 90c 6200 1s batteries which if I'm honest didn't feel dramatically different, so I am writing with the aim that you can help with finding a bit more punch and top end...
Motor - Dynamite 13.5T
Esc - 1s Toro
Gearing - 70T (70 roll out)
I have to say, since reducing my wire thickness, this is the only electrical change, and with my ESc leads to battery a touch thinner than all the others, could this be the problem? And the reason why I saw pretty much no different between batteries?
As ever, look forward to your help... Roll on West Kent on Sunday I say!
Best Wishes
Stuart
