A long time ago (maybe the b6.2 days) I heard someone say you can run the Schelle slipper with just 2 pads to save weight (one less aluminum plate). Have you tried that in 17.5?

I like the slipper in 17.5. If you run a class like 21.5, I would run an eliminator. It is a matter of power and accelerating. Slipper = smoother. Eliminator can be less rotating mass (as part of a complicated list of things).

The R1 Wurks 3 Gear Transmission has been sold out for a while. Just got back in stock. https://r1wurks.com/collections/b7/p...transmission-1

There was a post a few pages back with data on runs comparing the two transmissions. The R1 Wurks transmission was faster.

R1 Wurks also has an interesting motor plate with top mount to distribute the motor weight better. Team Brood claims the kit design motor plate deforms the transmission case causing premature wear and failure. Team Brood has a transmission brace.

May I know, what is Team Brood webpage ?


Can you share ?

This quote, hmmmm.....

I ever encountered "jumped pinion gear teeth".

I used 25 teeth pinion gear, with 78 teeth spur gear.


I heard loud teeth grinding sound, when throttle buggy to take jump....ended up the spur gear teeth slanted slightly.


Thereafter changed spur gear to 75 teeth, pinion gear to 23 teeth, no more issue

Had a chance to run the new Schumacher Splinter ftom tyres on my local high grip astro track yesterday. I tried thr Axium in purple to start with which had too much grip and were a bit snatchy, the Splinters were really smooth and just the correct amount of front end without any major changes.

I also tried a tip ftom Ellis Stafford to lengthen the rear camber link at the inboard end so that the camber link and wishbone pivot lined up. This helped to get rid of the rear wanting to continue to rotate before getting back on the throttle - really gave confidents about what the car was going to do.

I also heard some of the uk team drivers were using b6.4 front hubs (so removing the kpi). Somebody was running them and mentioned it made it a little pushy mid corner compared to the standard b7 setup.

The Axium silver is a better compound for the dry but they do have more grip I find than the LP Cut Stagger Yellow but I like the fact they they fit the wheel properly without having to glue sides down but I feel you have to change the setup at the front and you cannot just change between Axium and Cut Staggers without adjusting the setup. I have yet to try the Splinter but have high hopes. Did you run an insert or no inserts?

Pistol123

No inserts, and yes lovely not to have to glue the sidewalls down.

I previously used Axium in Silver but couldn't get them for Monday. I have found that raising the ftont axle helps tame the axiums.

More gears, acceleration decreases.

Many B7 players run 17.5 turn motor, realised it accelerates slower than 3-gear transmission

I have never experienced such an issue but have seen something like this when the spur gear has not been installed correctly and the slipper pads have been caught at an awkward angle. It is always best to check that the spur is running as true as it can before meshing the motor and pinion. I would also check for anything not looking right with the pinion and or spur gear to see if there was a problem.

Jumped teeth is because there is no motor clamp support on top part of motor
