If i got the trackstar 21.5t what would you go timing wise and gearing for a starting point. We run blinky and foam tires.
Thanks
run the timing to the max on positive side (this equates to about 35 degrees of timing) and run it at about a 3.8 to 4.0 for your smaller track. if your tp motor was at 4.15 then a trackstar you can put a little bit more gear to it since it does not have as much timing built into them. they have alot of torque so you can gear them up a bit more. try a 3.8 to 3.9 to start and them monitor temps. try to stay under 130. thats my goal with these. they run the best under 130 degrees.
