1st test at 730pm outside and dark

test went great, upon wot it spins in circles at 3/4 throttle and i punch it i loose traction and spin out so I have to slowly go from 0-100%
motor is running cool so far, ESC got hot, i dont remember if that is normal?

one prob is that it started smoking.. I pulled the cover off went inside and investigated. TUrns out the 7 cell battery WIRE was burning into the chassis. I am charging my 6 cell as of now and gonna run that and see how it goes.. My guess would be 35mph.

If the 6 cell works out. I might cut out the Middle section and replace it with a sheet of alum as part of the chassis and have everything bolt onto there. A cooling plus also it would be.. ESC needs cooling bad to!
