Last week a guy at our club was running about 12s per round, and he also wanted to have some more speed.
I adviced him to turn down the motor timing and increase the motor pinion by 1 or 2 theet and his laptime improved with 0.2seconds.
At the end of the training he went 0.6s faster by just starting from a lower motortiming.
It all comes down to try things out, even if it looks/sounds unnatural.
The position of the motor also benefits the traction of the car wich can also result in better laptimes.
Just my 2cent opinion.
Ciao addicted2blue,
today a followed your suggestion, i reduced the motor timing and i fitted a bigger pinion, so i raced with 3.9 of fdr, the car was the faster on the track.
The maximum temperature achived was 72°Celsius.
Everything worked weel and i took the final victory.
Ciao
