(Came 6 out of 8 people!!)

 

What I learned and will be trying for next race:

• Aluminium drive shaft
• Removed all the grease and just oiled all of the differentials
• Oiled all of the ball bearings
• Ran in the engine (run it with 2 aa batteries, in one direction for an hour, and then in the other direction for an hour, a lot of people said run it in a glass of water, and I did not have the guts for that)
• Changed the gears (5.72:1)
• Adjustable pilotable tie-rod’s
• Changed all the electronic connectors

 

Will see what happens at the next race! Can’t wait
