I decided to skip racing last night in favor of spending some time practicing tonight.
The Brushless Jato V2 is a HUGE improvement. Getting the weight distributed more appropriately definitely made the truck more driveable.

One problem remains now...the truck is just too powerful for the track. I'm going to have to spend a bunch of time setting my radio up to dial out the power. There isn't a single spot, including the 96' straight, that I can get over 1/2 throttle. The truck is just too darn fast for a technical racetrack.

I'm learning to drive it all over again since V1, but at least it's controllable as V2 and I don't have the moving motor mount problem anymore. When I race next Thursday night I expect to actually finish both qualifiers and the main. So far I'm 1 for 6, which is a pretty dismal record, heh.

Joe Electronics run on smoke... if you let the smoke out, they stop working.
