TQ and 1st in the A-main.

As you can tell, this setup is a little more "mellow" than the setup on Jilles' car. The motor in Hupo's car was almost a year old, so he was just a little down on horsepower compared to the newest generation of brushless motors that are available. So Hupo and I decided to give him a car he could drive hard, right from lap one. Looking back, I think 20000 in the tubes would have made him a little quicker through the corners, but he was happy, so I left it alone.
