I couldn't really get on the throttle in the street on takeoff because the tires would just break loose. Once I get to about 10-15mph, then I can gun it and it goes good. Unfortunately, I didn't get any shot of that because the camera-woman was shooting me, not the car. And that close, my body covers half the street. :) The drift actually ended better, but again, I got in the way. Poo. These tires are NOT meant for street use!

I also flipped over once (the end of my d-way has a lump) and slid along the street enough to wear the shock ends so they pop out kinda easily. Now I need to go to HH again and hope they have something in stock.

BTW: At the end of the run (about 15-20 min) the batts were still hardly warm to the touch, as well as the motor/ESC. SO, that's promising since it was warm out today.
