Default Making a 23t motor go fast

Hi guys, ive been playing around with a new Atlas 23t single motor. Has any one got any ideas how to make these things go as it seems slow in revs compared to my Moster Stock.
Or do you just gear the buggery out of them??
All suggestions welcome

You got it, just gear the hell out of it. Rollout in the 40's mate.

i think some people use lower winds to make their 23t motors go faster?

Ah, so to get 1st on the podium, you must use a 13t arm in a 23t can, now I understand

I put CA on the com and bushings,, also a good squirt of chocalate milk and coco pops in the morning should sloften up the winds, then just befor your race, role the motor in a box of used staples,
this hints should ensure you are on the podium... has there ever been a race where a podium has been used?

Default Podium

For the 1996 (I think it was '96!) NSW Off Road State Titles at Castle Hill we had a podium constructed especially for the event.

We also had champers for the top three in each mod class. The highlight of the event however were the girls from Hooters who came down to the track to entertain us all.

Pity it poured with rain for most of the weekend

Default LOWER WINDS

Its a joke, you can only use 23 or 27 turn "single" of wire on your stock motor, in the meca rounds.

you coul put a lowerw ind arm in..but apart from the fact it would go shit, you would get your ass impounded by the meca police.

Teamsherman,

You've been watching too many US teen movies. And we all know what the 'sherman8er' got in American Pie!
