Slightly better Lap for the TL01 (BOL-Anyway)

Good evening RC Fans and other Randoms, (capital ‘R’, of course)

Today’s Lap sessions felt … well … good. The weather improved throughout the day and by the time we hit the track it had had the time to dry off in the evening sunshine. The grip was good, the car behaved well… the driver… did “ok” ;)

A little improvement in what was the TL01 best lap to date. Considering how much easier it felt driving it, we’re somewhat disappointed to see nothing more than a 0.1 seconds improvement but, never mind, that’s what the next session is for.

Best of Laps - 29 4 2014 TL01

Now, here’s an improvised list of things that could help the TL01 get some better lap times:

  • Get a better driver to drive it round the track for us (?) :(
  • Increase the ‘fix’ in the front diff.
  • Steady the ESC within the chassis
  • Review ESC settings:
    • Try more drag brake with less braking power.
    • Try less drag brake with more braking power.
    • Play around with punch control.
  • Review the oil situation in the shocks
  • Try stiffer springs (F/R)
  • Re-install anti-roll bar at the front
  • Try anti-roll bar at the rear (low expectations)

So, as usual, stay tuned (or keep stumbling on this blog, by mistake as you might have done today) for some more RC News ! :)
