Thanks for the advice Dan. I think the car is fine like you said. The motor is running just fine. But I so badly wished it would have kept cool so I could keep running it. I'll take a look at the
oil to make sure it looks alright, and leave it be if it does.
I think you're right that the 3 link doesn't increase the speed of the car. But what it does do is increase the confidence of the driver, which allowed me to take the corners faster. Why was the original spec racer so hard to drive? Did they have handling problems?
