You need to come back down and take my buggy for a few laps.

Since a few people in here run reedy sonic. My sonic stopped working a few weeks ago. I unplugged the sensor and it would work. I tired 4 sensor cables, none worked. So before I bought a new sensor board, I thought i would open it up, blow it out and just give it a once over. When I was putting it back together, I realized I had no idea how to put it to zero degrees. Then I noticed that the ">" that I think points to the timing value was 180deg away from the timing notches. I loosened the Philips screw, removed the black sensor cap and peeked inside, it looked ok I guess, so i put it back on, and rotated it till it pointed to the timing notches. put it together and gave it a little throttle. And it worked with my sensor cable. Is it possible the timing pointer got loose and moved and cause the motor to not work with the sensor cable plugged in? I took a picture of the finished product. Does the timing look right?

That is what my Sonics look like. The carat on the timing cover was 180 degrees out from the current position?

yes, I had issues with it a couple months ago, I sent it back to AE, they said they took it apart and cleaned it and it was fine and sent it back to me. I dont know if they put it together 180 deg off or if it moved. It did not seem loose. Would the goofy time setting cause it to not work with the sensor? Or do you think my blowing it out fixed it?

If it were 180 degrees out I'm sure it would be all kinds of jacked up. My motors only move approximately within the range of the timing marks on the can.

Well, it seems it is together properly now and working. Hopefully it stays that way. Now I just need my worlds B4 to get here.

Can anyone tell me if the hexlite wheels are a matte type finish like the prolines or more glossy like the jconcepts wheels in the white finish?

It's working pretty well. Layout is changing so we'll see how it works on the new track. Hopefully the dirt doesnt change too much.

Ok.... So I should get my b4 wc this week. I have my B4 non wc setup pretty well. The main difference in the new car will be the +8 chassis. What tuning changes should I expect from my current B4 baseline setup? Will I need more forward weight? I have heard the +8 pushes more, is that what I will need to overcome? I will tell you what my current setup is off the top of my head.
