E-STRR - Update - 05.19.2008, 02:15 AM

It was really hot today in Socal, perfect weather to see how the E-STRR would hold up on the track. Without any adjustments to the suspension or brakes (from it's former Nitro settings) I ran one 4s lipo thru the truggy to get a feel for it and to see how hot things would get. Ambient air temp's high 90's. After 10 mins, ESC = 170 (a little hot), Motor = 132 (Great), Batt = 108 (not bad). Not bad considering how hot the ambient temps were. The brakes were way off, way too much front bias (almost flipped over everytime I braked). Suspension was a little too soft as well. I lucked out and a JBRL racer that I knew showed up and was impressed with what he saw and wanted to take a spin. After another 4s pack, he was stroked, he could not believe the power/torque a brushless motor could produce. He made some adjustments to the brakes and put in a few more laps. A pretty good first time out.
