Post subject: | Power lose |
Hello. The last sunday I had a very hot indoor carpet race stock 13.5. My motor was at 69ÂșC at the finish of every race. The grip was medium. However I lose a lot of power, and I don't know why. I had new tyres in the race (lrp 30X) I think the reason may be: - Very hot conditions - Medium grip - The last time I used the batteries was 12 days ago. What do you think? |

69degC is not that hot for a motor after a run. Did the car get slower, or did the handling change? |

Are you using a fan next to the motor? |

Is it a power loss you can see/feel or is it reducing speed of lap times on the timing chart through the race that you sare seeing? |

Since temp is so low, how do you measure? It can make a huge difference to measure into the holes of the can so you really get the temp of the rotor and not the can outside. |

and remember track temp and humidity also affect lap times, so your .5 sec loss might not be the car, if you comparing one weekends racing to another |
