I'm changing to deans now on the car that ran tamiya plugs. I am using bullets on the other car already though.
(4) I personally think that 21.5 with boost is just asking for a motor to blow up....21.5 is pretty slow, and we have to BOOST it up and run as fast as a 13.5. I personally has all the hard time to find a good open 21.5 setting as my conclusion is....leave the 21.5 motor as a no timing motor class. Anything for boost...should be 17.5 or faster.
I can't really change that. The class allows for boosting and everyone uses boost. If I don't I run slow.
Could you explain to me why a motor will overheat when running a 6:1 ratio but is fine when running a 5.4:1 ratio if using the exact same settings both times?
