First Race day was awesome!

[E-Revonut]

I've been doing shakedown runs for a couple weeks now....My first race is this Thursday. Really haven't had any issues with my RC8T so far, after about 8 packs haven't broke anything or lost anything. Took it out today and got 17 minutes out of my 4500mah 5s RC-M pack. Ambient was about 85 and after the run the motor was at 145*, esc 115*, and Lipo about 105* with a mixture of pavement and heavy grass. When I came in I had to pull all the grass off the axles. May need to stiffen up the center diff but I want a slipperential as soon as the 50t version is available. This truck flies straight and only takes small throttle/brake inputs to level it out. I hope my day goes smooth.

According to EVERYONE at the track it is the best it has ever been- you should come down:)
