ok so here goes

ran this last night at TRCC

got the bumper to sort out though and look for a more suitable esc & motor

mmpr was 67.32

not sure on springs back and front (second hand car) but foams were 50's front & Pink Med rear

one other 4 cell G2 running and he reckons there's not a lot in it between the two

did try additive and it made a good difference in that I could put the power down, what power and the steering was more direct.

need to compare my 4 cell v the 1s next time I go to the track with the same chassis setup on both

as reguards speedo most in our class at ardent Glen are running the gtb2 (will run 1s) and motors i think is a split fusion exceed and spV3 both have timing advance

how did the car feel , i felt when i went out with mine for the first time it was slow but lap times say different i think its just that you dont get the burst out of a corner makes it very linear if you know what i mean

[Chequered Flag Racing]

Felt very linear on the throttle. Will compare with 4 cell next time I can get trackside

Have the SPv3 & Novak 13.5 so may try those.

unedited video that another driver did for me from last night

was your speedo in spec mode i.e. no timing advance ?

looked very smooth

did you enjoy not messing with the G2 motor and just coming back 1S on charge sit and wait ?

No. It can run upto 12 on a timing mode but not sure what that equates to. Does not have turbo though. So I could run the esc with timing on a motor that has no timing to adjust.

And it was very smooth to drive

G2 motor. All I do is one drop of wd40 each run and drop of oil on the bushings

Cells. All I do with NiMh's is charge and go with the occaisonal balance for them.

Neil, What are your thoughts on the GTB 2 speedo? also what are your thoughts on the Exceed speedo? dunno which one to go for???

Does the GTB 2 run fine without the booster?

[truggy lover]

The exceed has timing advance so won't be legal if the rules go through in present form , not run the gtb2 in anger yet Gazza has and it with out voltage booster fine mate I couldn't catch gaz lol

Pm me a out gtb2 I'll tell you where I got mine from for £65 delivered

[mcjjordan]

silly question but is there an esc that is designed for 1c?
ie booster built in and cut off ?
