[DRIFT_BUGGY]

Well got to go down to the track today for the first time in about 2 months. First time I have been to the track running a different setup (shocks changed, diff fluid now 7/10/3) but I ended up taking my old bold tires down to the track. I got 35 minutes out of the first battery before LVC kicked in (16.4V) and highest recording temp for the 1st run was Motor - 170F, Battery 120F and ESC was 135F. ESC was running 135F as I didn't realise that a twig got jammed in the fan and the fan was working. Took the twig out and fan starting going again. ESC temp went down to 125F once fan started working. It was hard to say if the setup was great as bold tires didn't help but even with the bold tires, it seemed to handle pretty good.
I let everything cool down and then went out for another run. Temps got a little hotter this time, Motor - 180F, Battery - 120F and ESC - 130F but that might be becuase it was now the middle of the day and was a pretty hot day. Bold tires also don't help. After 35 minutes I noticed that one of the tires was unglued but I thought that the battery would ran out soon so I kept on going. Flat out down the back straight lost control and hit the wall pretty hard and ended up stripping the thread that the screw goes into hold down the turnbuckle on the spindle. Didn't matter, didn't ruin my day as that was probably the most fun I have had with a R/C. Castle has done a excellent job with this new firmware. No issues at all and it doesn't look like stopping at all. So nice to not have a ext. bec. on anymore.
