ETS - Daun

Once again, the optional steel 1.2mm chassis together with optional short lower suspension arms, as well as upper link arms was the best choice for yet another carpet race! A few changes were made from previous events to better suit the Matrix tires:
Standard shocks instead of PSS, for more low-speed steering and more roll
No upstops used, to make the car more aggressive on these tires
Motor mount screws more forward, for increased initial steering
Lower servo horn height, for a more forgiving and easier handling in the chicanes
Lower rear hub height, for increased rear side bite

Regarding the electronics:

After the EWS in December, I was looking for ways to de-tune my power even more. Hence, I've been experimenting with a G3 5.5T motor (12.3mm rotor) instead of the usual G3 5.0T (12.1mm rotor). After some tuning back and forth with settings I eventually think I got it right. Initially, I made the mistake of turning my power up with the 5.5T - this isn't really necessary. All you need to do is gear up 1 tooth, and this will be a good starting point even for bigger indoor tracks.
