RC Car Videos 064 20240914 6 mins Time Trial Tests! P14 Post Data Analysis and Thoughts

Summary of the analysis
1. TRF416X performed as expected the best. Nothing more to do this car and perfectly ready for further comparision tests!
2. Considering 58000 RPM capability, Xray should have accelerated faster. Also the brake got an issue, needing extra ESC setting
3. TA06 performed a lot better than the first time driven, almost equal to 416X, finally my efforts paid off
4. BT01 FR was as I remembered quite fun to drive!
5. MB01 MR high motor layout did not drive well nor fun as I wished. The car did not roll much for some reasons. Understeer but when the rear tires broke, instantly spun.
6. MB01 FF could be faster with LSD (aka chewing gum), but may spoil the fun or agility on tight turns?
7. Pancars with shi#ty tires drive just s#it lol

Some updates after this video and repairing some cars afterwards
1. One of sensor cable of the problematic SP12M easily cut off when I upplugged it, so I replaced the cable with a new one. Hopefully it solves the ESC issue.
2. The ESC of TA06 was moved forward and with that the weight distribution was improved. The height was too high (around 10 mm) so it was lowered (around 5 mm). Slight weight reduction and mod on steering system were also done.
3. Learned how to change configuration of the ESC of Xray, maybe no more "brake-then-reverse" and "not-so-powerful" issues?

Each time trial video (P2-13) starts from main part of 6 mins time trial, then continues to the prep for the next car, basically all the footage are sequentially shown.
Touring cars had extra 3mins time trials to compare them more fairly later.
