How about lowering ride height to 23.5 F, and 23 R?

Do any of you run the Novak impact in your b5m? Would that esc be competitive for stock class?
No break-in required.

I can't answer the ESC question. I have two GTB's then a Tekin RS(grrrr). I'm holding out long as I can to NOT buy a speed control that needs a computer to make adjustments. I want to be able to push a few buttons, hear a few beeps and blips, and be on my merry way. LOL.

There are bunches of ESC's out there that don't require a computer to tune. Viper's all have a hand held programmer than you plug into a port in the switch. The programmer has all the options available for the ESC in it. There are other hand programmed ESC's out there too, some of them pretty reasonably priced.

Cool. Glad to hear manufacturers are doing that. I usually see the guys at the LHS get the latest and greatest ESC's. Didn't really do much research before posting that.

I'm not sold on the 3 gear, our layout got tweaked and grip was down, 3 gear was miserable. I was also testing a D4 short stack, and I definitely did not hit the sweet spot yet, my R1 was much faster.

What are the numbers on the short stack? What gearing are you at?

I got uncertified with the torque rotor, I haven't checked it on the meter yet. I tried my standard 32/69 *50 and 60 timing, dropped down to 31/72 *55 and it was better, but that was a much time I had to test it.

Here is some video that was posted from the Mod amain last night at Warehouse 3. We run slicks on this track. The jumps section in the middle is not straight. It is on a slight curve. The triple was put in because the mod guys wanted big air, lol. BTW, races are won or lost in that section of the track.

I thought the 3 gear was only expected to be good for very high grip?

The Mod guys have not really gone with the 3 gear locally, it is mainly stock guys for now. With the lower power from stock, traction is less of an issue. Plus we run on higher bite. I plan to have my maiden 3 gear run this weekend. The track I run on has plenty of rear grip. So I have rear grip to spare.

I dont think it was "big air" that would have been nice, just a more flowing, faster track that isn't catered to just 17.5, which the new lay out still is for the most part. The triple is not that hard to make, but it literally turns in mid air so the margin for error is incredibly small. Wish they would have made it a straight jump.
