A800MMXA debut run

Been a hot day until late afternoon - rain should come anytime. 
Although it is overcast but due the sunny day for most of the day, track surface has fair traction.

Here is the debut run for the A800MMXA, with Trinity D4 13.5T motor in blinky mode, 6 mins run with a new set of Sweep tires.


Run was good - with initially it is understeer in first few laps, given the tires were new and without additives and warmer. After tires heating up in a few laps, control has been much better. Rear traction is always there while the car has a solid feel and respond to my throttle finger and steering wheel well. 

The ESC is with default value, will possibly increase the pick up torque.

The MuchMore super capacitor was burnt at its very first connect to the fully charged shortly LiHV pack. So the debut run was without ESC capacitor.

Bodyshell is solid, much thicker than the usual TC bodyshell now. It does not require any additional supporting mount from the chassis and it will be held in its form and shape along with the 4 traditional body posts.

After 6 mins run, without crash, the car has a loosen wheel nut on its rear right corner. 

Overall, I am happy with it and actually a surprise - how easy to drive and its very first run. And it is also the first time I drive a TC with metal (alloy this time) chassis. It does work on high traction outdoor track. 

Few minutes after the test run, there was a light rain started. Nothing to complain.
