Post Super Nitro Vs. Super Stock

Well Allen, Looks like it will be you and me with the Super Nitro's tomorrow. That ought to be fun, we had a pretty good time last race. I just hope the fog doesn't make the track too damp and cold in the morning. See you tomorrow.

Maximum RPM

Allen, It looks like I am gonna have to fiddle with timing again on these 10 Turn motors to make run time. I was maxin' out the RPM range after getting onto the straight/sweeper/straight today. I wonder how it will be on a bigger track next weekend?

Motor Madness

Hey Allen, Were you close to run time with your batteries on the big track with the 10/12 Turn Motors? I am pretty sure I was fairly close to dumping right after the race was over. I am wondering if the 10 turn is too much for run time vs. the gearing. I was maxing out the rpm range on the short track to make run time and I am not sure about the big track yet...?

Talking Finding NEMO

Originally posted by Number 11
You made a decision to run a certain motor limit in Super Stock 12 turn. Once you found out that the brushless was equivalant to a 10T the motor limit was changed. Now originally I wanted to go with a 10T but you know the story on that. Racing Super stock got to be expensive when it came to buying motors.
I agree with what your saying here. The only rebuttle I have is that this Division has been an experimant all year long and we have been trying to find our way in what works vs. what doesn't work very well. This Division needs to go through what we've done and re-establish a rules package that fits hand in hand with the Brushless System. We will get it figured out..... I am sorry if the motor change caused heart ache, it was not intended to do so.

Default Playday (In the morning)

Hey Allen, will you be able to come out and play again in the morning. The weather looks to be really good, a bit cool maybe, but really good. It won't be a short track I promise.

No problems with run time on the big track. I only had a problem when it was over geared.

I would suggest running your timing at 12 degrees no more than 15 then gear accordingly.

Talking Run time a fun time

I made run time today at 12 degrees and a 12 turn double....Never made time on the 10 turn and fiddled with the gearing every round.
