Here is a couple data items from the Corolla, from the first night stage we did (Taylor Towne 1). The data shown in the snapshot is roughly the whole stage (start stop points are not marked exactly yet). Current limits for each channel are user definable, and I can also setup alternative action to take if a channel goes into fault (car has two fuel pumps, if one pump goes into fault I have it setup to switch automatically to the back-up pump).
Don't laugh at my lack of 100% throttle. HAHAHA My first night stage ever, and I swear this thing makes more power at 40% throttle than the old motor did at 100%.  John Reed John Reed Racing www.johnreedracing.com johnreedracing@gmail.com |

Was too busy leading up to Mt Hood Rally to share this (and it isn't real important and maybe everyone already has done this method or there is a good reason not to).
Previously for rock protection the struts had inner tube on them, which seemed to work ok but was starting to tear and looked to be a PITA to put on. Enter the wiring guy with some big shrink tube. LOL The stuff is easy to install, and when shrunk down is almost like hard plastic (and much thicker than the inner tube on there before).

What can I say, I like my pigs dressed up and looking good!
That and I want the strut to hopefully come back apart again after I try and beat it to death with rocks and drag it through the mud and then neglect to service it till the night before the next rally. John Reed John Reed Racing www.johnreedracing.com johnreedracing@gmail.com |

Given the funny green color, the barb was not pointed at you but another denizen of this bulletin board. "Talk about drugs.

Some more data from the Corolla. Maybe nobody cares, but it is my build thread and I am going to clutter it with meaningless crap... LOL
