Also received my orange bullit... Have a question tho. I noticed that there was a lot of timing on the motor, I am running the 17.5 boosted class and was wondering if I should turn the timing down on the motor and use the ESC to supply the timing or if I ahould leave the timing and adjust the ESC's timing?

Hey Bob.. Yes, For boosted take timming back to 0* and adjust speedo as needed. Usally start ReVtech motors 2 teeth less in gear and same setting as past on other motors. Look for race temps aprox 155* .

i am thinking about getting a new motor. i am running 17.5 blinky in t/c . i currently run a tekin...geared @ 46/84 with 170 deg. temps. and a d3 geared @ 47/84 with 160 degree temps. what benefits can i expect to see running a revtech, and furthermore, what benefit could i expect to see with a revtech from express vs a revtech purchased via my lhs. thanks for any input i appreciate the help as i have only been running tc for a few months...

Hey Tag just wanted to stop by and say a big thanks for my motors and batteries for the IIC! I didn't suffer from any power or speed issues all week and definitely had some quick cars once I got the gearing right. Unfortunately my driver and mechanic had issues (me and me)...driver couldn't get in a good run until the mains and the mechanic was out to lunch all week.

Hey Tag

I also wanted to say thanks for the power. Finally got gearing figured out also on the ReVtech. Drove it home to a 6th place finish in the blinky class.

P.S. Sorry I missed your call....at the time Tim and I were winning to big on the blackjack table.

InspGadgt

Oh yeah...it was frustrating at first but even with that I had a blast. You missed out this year for sure. Bigger attendance then they have had in years and pole dancers at the Blackjack tables this year

Hey Burt..

Glad all worked out well. Hey we cant always do well as expected we all have those day. #1 rule is if ya had fun thats best result right there.

Great run again Devin..Congrats on another Major A Main run!!!

Missed call..LOL Yea thats because BJ table has a stripper pole..No wonder you didnt hear phone ring..U were in lala land!!!

James..Like Devin said..Track dependent 3.95-4.10 is common. Always start with less and add gear as needed. Rule of thumb is Revtech motors like 2-3 teeth less gear to start than other motors. Always make first runs short and check temps and adjust as needed.
