966e on Singapore PA 1/8 track

It was a quick visit, only 1 set of battery about 10min run time. Setup was following one of the 1/8 966 GP setup, with front ride height 8mm and rear ride height 9.5mm. Followed the stock pinion / spur combination that came with the kit.

The track was quite empty, only another 1/8 GP there.In the first 10 laps when the batteries were still powerfully, the top speed on the long straight was satisfied.In field acceleration was also good thru out the whole session.

The car is under steering due to the combination of front one way and rear solid axle, but I can gun the throttle when exit corners to pull the car back to the driving line, not too hard to drive.After first 5min run, esc is about 73c and motor is around 65c. A cooling fan is needed on the esc IMO.

I am happy ;)
