Tekin RS/Novak Ballistic 17.5 gearing,timing, Help?
Im new to the tc racing and I am looking for some good esc,gearing set-ups for my tf-5, heres what im running now.
Motor:Ballistic 17.5 with 15 degrees timing
CAR:Kyosho tf-5 stallion
100 tooth spur
26 tooth pinion
internal is 1.8
final drive is 6.93
rollout is1.113
ESC:Tekin rs
version 203
sensored mode
Drag:20
Reverseff
Brake:100
Neutral:10
Motor:1
Throttle:3
Voltageff
Pushff
Timing boost:50
Turbo boost:10
Delay:.2
Turbo ramp:3.0
Start rpm:2903
Ending rpm:13000
Any help that someone could give me as far as the setup for a small asphalt track that is similar to norcal rc would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for the quick response, im just a little nervous because I blew smoke on a novak velociti 17.5, shattered the rotor to pieces.
So im thinking 30 tooth pinion versus the 26, giving me a final drive of 5.99.

Yeah, I feel the same from reading your setup....your 7.0 gearing is more for 13.5. I would go to 6.3 instead of 6.0 to start...that way, you can keep gearing up if your motor is still cool and if you still think you have room to get faster. I always like to go SAFT first before gearing it to the moon.
Your turbo boost, timing boost and turbo ramp are very much like everyone does. However, depends on how SMALL of the track that you are talking about....you might want to consider starting the timing boost at 40 instead of 50...my thoery is, Novak motor kinda has a limit on 50s timing total. If you have 15 on the motor, plus 50 on the speedo, you will have total 65 timings...I would like to set it around 50s, so you can try 15 on motor, 40 on speedo, total 55 to start....if the car has room to go faster, motor is cool...then you can always get back up to 50 on timing boost.
Alot of setups I saw from Tekin...they used 50 timing boost only when they set the motor mechanical timing on 0. Once they have 10 or so timing on the motor, I have seen some dialed back the timing boost to 45 or 40. That has a lot to do with the size of the track.

thanks guys, our track is pretty small, they change it at every race though so the infield varies but the straight is usually about 80 feet.
I had my timing on the new ballistic set at 5 but experienced problems with it not wanting go. From what I read on novaks site they reccomend not going below 15. Theres been some issues with the ballistic series and tekin speedos when u zero the motor.
