Car looked good in the flesh fella.

Got a video to upload as well, and will add this in when I get a chance.

Car is seriously quick once you get the power down but it seems such a struggle!
I couldn't launch at all! Either span up or bogged down so only managed a mere 14.9 but all my runs were the same!!!

Nice one mate! I can't wait to get mine finished so I can try to beat it :devil:

Have you got any vids from the outside so I can see the launch & the wheel spin. If you could dial out the wheel spin you're on for a much quicker time.
