I just had a couple interesting things happen.

Just tried to run a decent 0-60 on Torque Pro. The extra torque from the ESC certainly complicates the launch a bit. I really got on it and semi-dumped the clutch. I think I burned the tires for about 2 full seconds before taking off.

Tried a couple other 0-60 runs and couldn't get the launch right. 6.5 slightly uphill was my best time. Previous to the ESC, 6.5 slightly downhill was my best. Based on the time lost/gained running that section each direction, I'd say that my uphill one today was more like a 6.3. I would think a good launch would get into the high 5s on a flat, grippy surface, but I haven't managed it yet.

I was pulling out of a stops sign turning right into a 55mph zone with no traffic. Hit it hard and found myself spun around about 50-60 degrees. No way that happened without the ESC. Which is both good and bad. LOL.
