Ok so I am aiming for the15 laps this week in qualifying! I have tweaked the suspension, and adjusted the camber and hopefully my speed secret parts will arrive.
Anyone putting a marker in for Friday?

I'm going for..............drum roll............... 11 laps!!!
Having said that my car is currently in bits due to me crashing into a wall, following an unfortunate braking incident. I got myself a new esc and was trying out the drag brake. It reminds me of that Mercedes test driver who was trying the new anti-collision system. Unfortunately he had assumed someone else had turned it on............... |

Yeah I know.................
Do you run drag brake? And if so how much? |
#27

I generally run no drag brake but have the setting on the Speedo so the motor acts like a brushed motor.
Although I was adjusting this on Friday as I thought it may have been causing some of the handling issues. Turned out I was running drag brake on setting 2 of 6 and brushed motor effect. Ran neither in the final and car was ok but got to brake instead of just lifting. Not sure which way to go. Probably just try brushed motor effect this week.

I don't use drag brake found it unsettled the car as well as overheating issues if your not careful

Part of me wants to try and contribute to this conversation, but most (all) of me doesn't know what you are talking about.
All I can say is things are going alright and I have no idea what a drag brake setting is, so I'm not sure how important it is. |

Ha ha.
I only just found out it existed too. It's a setting on your esc that means it brakes for you when you release the throttle. I think. Not sure if I'm going to like it....... |

My understanding of drag brake is that it mimics the effect of the old brushed motors that when you let go of the throttle the commutator would rub on the brushes in the head causing drag and slowing the spinning of the rotor whereas the brushless motors don't have this friction therefore in theory they coast better a bit like using engine braking and pushing the clutch right in on a normal car. That's my understanding of it anyway.

Is it me or did Friday seem really rushed? I felt I had no time to relax all evening.
After my disaster of a final (alot self induced) I have changed about 80% of the suspension geometry on the car incase I have been going the wrong direction. I am just trying to create a car I can push on Not at racing Friday so will be two weeks to see if I have gone completing wrong direction.

Cheers chaps if one of you could bring a spare that would be great, dug out my old Speed Passion and fitted a new capacitor so hopefully it will be ok.
