Where did you come up with the 4.0 FDR. 26 pinion would put you at 9.0 FDR? You forgot to multiply the variable into the formula!
i think i will use the actual 64 pitch 104 tooth spur gear i have because when i ran my car for the first time today, although the gear mesh was fine, it still felt "stiff" and did not roll smoothly. i will also install the 30 tooth pinion as my top speed was not up to par with what a stock motor should be at my track. i might need to get a motor heat sink though because it was getting a little warm. but i really don't know how warm it can get before i should pull it off the track. i have a temp gun, but can anybody tell me what kind of temp i should be running at maximum with 4200s, 30t pinion and a CO27?
thanks

sorry, i looked at that robinson racing link someone posted and they said to do it spur divided by pinion to get the FDR. guess i was mistaken.

Cant think what page it is on, but there has definately been one posted up on this thread that should help LRP Vtech tyres are pretty consistant for grip indoors.

My TA05R using manuel setup was pretty good with rubber (stock) and even foams...however, just cannot run against the top rank car (007, Losi, Mi3...etc) for some reason (weigh, equal belt..etc). I have tried several setups and it just does not get that 1/2 sec or so more............that equal belt design might have something to do about that.
Between 7-7.5 is about right for our track...like 80 x 120...3 rolls of parking spaces parking lot style....the killer part is, all the turns are 90 or 180 degree formed by 2x4s...and they are all painted YELLOW, now....along with the parking stripes are all painted yellow and they look EXACTLY the same as the board....our challenge is...figure out which one is the board and which one are the lines...........the penalty, broken arms and DNF....

Thats relieving, I was still trying to figure out how rear toe out could possibly help...
Anyone know off the top of their head what degree toe in the rear blocks that come with a TA05R are set at? I think its 1 degree but Im not sure.

The stock 05R setup uses an A block for the front rear and a D block for the rear rear for a total of 1.5 degrees of toe in at the hingepin. The stock rear upright has 1 degree of toe in built, giving 2.5 degrees of toe in total.
