Over the Christmas break I made a couple of minor improvements.
I added a heat shield between the motor and controller. Last time I competed the heat was rising from the motor into the controller and was making me nervous. If was a rather hot day, but this is Queensland so hot days are not rare. The heat shield is really excellent so I am confident this will mostly take care of the issue except if it is an exceptionally hot day (by QLD standards >35c). But I plan to also install a fan to extract any stray heat from the engine bay.
I modified my rear lower control arms (2 on each side). I added some thread so I can adjust them in and out to modify the rear alignment. This gives me some camber and Toe adjustment. It can't be adjusted on the car, at least one end of each arm must be disconnected so it can be twisted in or out.
The next event is a Motorkhana on Feb 12 followed by a couple more in March. But I am really aiming for a good result in the Khanacross April 9th.
