You really need to autoX your WRX its a hoot they have a tendancy to understeer but thats ok. and a car as heavy as a WRX or a forester will kill tires very quickly so a dedicate set of wheels and tires are a very good idea! but as far as what JCH13 was referencing i beat all the WRX and all but 2 STi in autoX with Jlee's bone stock Forester XT on 700+ treadware tires talk about a riot! so take your car and have a great time!

Ask Black2NA what you can manage with all-seasons :awe:



Or this ^^

I did electric carting once. It sucked, frankly, because the battery pack in my car was shit. It shut off before I crossed the finish line in a very short race. You'll have a riot autoxing your WRX, good tires or not.

I was just thinking about it on the ride to work this morning, and how I'd deal with the understeer heh I'm starting to get inspired to do it though!
 
I just don't like the delay in the throttle on electric karts.. atleast the K1 by me had a delay. Made for throttle manipulation very hard to do compared to the gas karts I'm used to.

The only thing I didn't like was that the motor would cut off if you used brake/throttle, otherwise the throttle response was fine.

Must be the karts that I was using then. I'd step on the throttle and it'd be a good half second to one second before it started moving. 😕

Well it's been raining here so I can't take it out. There are pics of it in the garage forum somewhere. I made a thread.

edit: hmm or the thread vanished after a while. I'll try to attach pics today.
