The car only slaps on BIG air.

Another thought. We run the car without an undertray. A couple guys at our track run an undertray and I think that makes the car sound like it's slapping 10 times worse than it is.
Not sure on the pistons will check . I'm using losi oils. Running the undertray and ballast weight.

Whats everyone gearing for a 13.5 with an 81 spur. Relatively smaller track. Also if anyone runs tekin, what would you run for boost and/or turbo?

Imo viper is alot smoother, def better build quality, esc is made of aluminum, there programer is completely portable, no need for laptop at the track, ohhh and one year warranty,and as far as power goes, if u got beat by an lrp, that was def driver error!!

The 7.5 i race against is slower than my 8.5 LRP.. Watts on the track can mean little..Hes even copied my setup and its slower..

It's not if numbers have never been fudged by factories before. Without knowing if they are using Power Factor (motor efficiency) in their watts equations, then the numbers do not mean a lot by comparison.
As an example of manufacturers fudging numbers, take a look at nitro engines claimed horsepower numbers.
Like others have mentioned, it comes down to the driver in the end.

Wow, where did you get that from? I was merely pointing out that factories either include motor efficency in their wattage numbers, or they do not. I never stated that Viper or any other manufacturer lies about numbers. There are just two different ways to achieve stated wattage.
