Also, did you measure it or is this a subjective judgement of the driver?


This is a subjective judgement of the driver

- The stability of closed loop control is debatable due to the recent drive train change though open loop control was tested with both the Jags and Talons with the new drive train.

- The speed and agility on carpet with the Talons equaled the speed and agility off carpet with the Jaguars.

- Difference of response time between the two motor controllers were either subtle or not there.
