Ratios confuse me a bit these days. I was fine until Master Salven used the tractor analogy somewhere when he said something like tractors having high internal ratios and have useless acceleration!

If you run a 5 port engine, it's illegal. You should be using a 3 port engine.

Our track is super tight through the infield and i have been reading the xxx main set up booklet (good reading!) and i now understand the basics however i am finding that a clutch that engages harshly and quickly is not nessecerly good because i have heaps of understeer through the infield (when accelarating) i have tried harder rear springs, decreasing the front droop and adding a front ball diff, but to no avail. The car is excellent through the rest of the track, but just not through a tight chicane after an hairpin (we come to an almost stop then go), were it just wants to go straight when turning!
any ideas? as i dont like the car with a slipping clutch it just feels slow! or is this the answer

Try a tighter rear diff (tighter clamp) setting. Drive the car and little by little have your pitman tighten the diff.

The law of diminishing returns ! That's what MS tried to tell. True that initial acceleration would be good if you have a 8.08 1st gear ratio but that's it... Just initial acceleration for a few feet until 2nd gear takes over. If you go with a slightly larger track, a 6.8 1st gear ratio would make use of the engine power better giving you acceleration from the engine powerband more than just a few a few measely feet.

Next year it gets a little serious with the Nationals and the WinterNats.
What's up with the kits being sold there these days? Someone was saying that its 710 version 2.1 ... is this true?
If it is, what are the mods/changes?

Second comment: in the "my car is faster than yours" department, you win. Glad you're VERY happy with the 710! Next time go kick your friend's MTX as well.
By the way ... thanks for "sharing your passion" with us.

Bobby, forgot to ask you. How did you find tuning the Picco ... easy?
What temperatures are you running the engine at in Florida and with what plug and nitro content?
Also, your local track is where the WinterNats is run?
Thanks!
So Sow doing some research for the winternats next year!?!?!?!!?
I presume you watched the Ray Wood dvd of the winternats several times
