Bros we’re in a real good place…

Best I’ve done to date, but it’s not better than the feeling of no faults (even with wheel slip). Still not :100: on this board, but way closer than ever before.

Suffice to say we’re going after it this weekend at I2S.

I owe a lot to @Tony_Stark, I’m going to buy that board when it’s available dude. Was planning to before but have one more reason to now :laughing:.

Went out tonight for more launch testing and overall confidence. I also decided to move up to 12T pinions putting me at about 5.5. Figured AVS is a big track.

So even with slightly lower torque I’d say it went pretty well.

I’m still letting up after 30mph so working on that.

Butttttt I decided maybe a few more cause confidence was definitely rising…

Went up to 307 motor amps 135 batt, and oh shit it was one cold night but hit 78c on the motors. @fessyfoo @ShutterShock i think I might have to worry lol.

Oof good luck haha

Three of us had hot motors at avs, it’s a matter of how many laps it’ll last pretty much

We’re running these motors so high nowadays

Maybe we go back to heat pipes :joy:

Today was a good hard day of racing at I2S, and I’m sore af and cramping. It’s been a long hard journey to get to this point but we’re finally at a place where it’s not the board and just purely skill issue.

The I2S track today was tight in spots with big ass straightaway, good prep for AVS. @ARCTIC is fast af but needs a board that turns cough @Skyart :eyes:. @poastoast is getting comfy on his board again and was nipping at my heels. Once he gets comfy again he’s gonna be fast. I took the first heat today, Poast took the second after I fell, and IceCole took us on the launch/start every time.

Speaking of falling I literally fell on the same ass cheek today 3-4 times. I need some butt sliders or something. I also think I need some actual downhill slide gloves, cause mine got caught in the ground a couple times.

Look at my dog LOL.

Here’s the course:


So, it was the s turn after the sweeper after the big straight that kept getting me. Coming off hot down the straightaway I carry a lot of speed into the sweeper. But sometimes I forget to brake hard into that turn or got caught behind someone. Since it’s a heel side turn for me if I lose momentum then I’ll end up falling on my ass. Usually cause I go wide, and to avoid hitting the cones or crossing course boundaries going into oncoming traffic, I brake slowing down thus falling on my ass.

Skill issue.

Time to get better.

On a different note here is Poasts launch on my board:

I think for me to get better times I might need to bump the rear to use bigger motors. But do I really need it…. maaaaaaybe not. Outta the s turn from toes side I was breaking rear traction due to gunning too early, probably another skill issue.

Slap some 6485s on the back. I bet you’ll feel more force. You’ve gotta be pushing those 6355 to the limit (or past it)

yeah, i agree we need to get @ARCTIC a bit more angle on those bases if only @surfnacho would cut me some dang bases with that heap of junk he has in my Garage :neutral_face:

Yes I think so lol. I need….

I found too much to the front doesn’t work real well. Understeer sucks

I’ll have to play with it, but I definitely need more to the rear cause I can’t up the amps there anymore. Front does spin out currently but I’m wondering if trigger control will help.
