The Brushless Jato V2 had it's best outing so far tonight.
3 qualifiers and the B main all finished. There were 5 drivers in my group.
I was 3rd in the first qualifier, 4th in the second, and TQ'd my group in the 3rd. I came in 3rd in the B main.

To control some of the power, I adjusted my radio's throttle end point at 40 (the Sensor goes from 0-100). That seemed to do the trick, but once I have better traction in the rear I'll probably have it up to 50 or 60.

Interesting development tonight - I put some white Revo springs on the front of the Jato and lowered the rear about 1cm (threaded shock/spring adjustment) and TQ'd the next qualifier. The front is very stiff now and the rear tires got a little more grip. Overall, I was suprised that this drastic of a change came out so positive.

I hate to add weight to it, but I think my next tuning test will be to re-add the 4-cell pack rear bumper. The last thing I'm missing for stable running is a little more traction in the rear.

Next electronic steps are to upgrade the stock Traxxas 2055 steering servo with a BMS 620MG I already have, and trade the 12012 for the 8012 I got from Mike. The 12012 will be transplanted into my 1/8th buggy.

We'll see how next week goes. With just a little more traction and quicker steering, I'll be in the A mains again in no time :)
