108/33 => 6.218 FDR
111/34 => 6.203 FDR

2.0 Internal
112/36 => 6.222 FDR

NB: Serpent Project 4X was checked and due to the O.D. of the center pulley the internal is not exactly 2.000. Testing revealed it is closer to 2.005. For Serpent Cars ONLY, the drivers who wish to be as close as possible to the Minimum FDR can use the following spur/pinion combinations: SS TC => 99/32; Stock TC => 97/36; USGT => 101/46.

EA's checker read 6.17. That's when I went to 84/27 and it read 6.22. Sorry I'm not one to use fluffy words.....

no worries.

ok so you did try with 64 pitch. Thanks for the input. I will do some testing and see what's up with the other combinations. Which car was this testing done with? 4X?

no worries.

ok so you did try with 64 pitch. Thanks for the input. 6.17 still higher than what it should show at 2.0 (6.11). Somehow the other 2.0 cars and 1.9 cars are spot on with the checker. I will do some testing and see what's up with the other combinations. Which car was this testing done with? 4X?

Spool. Cant check it on the diff side as it will give false readings.

Do you not worry about the racers running a diff front and rear? Or how would theyre FDR be checked?

Anyone failing a meeter test would have a tooth + pulley disassemble/count

Honestly, this is likely WAY less of a problem than the internet is making it

I was just curious I do not run one front and rear, just popped into my head so I asked. I've only heard of positive things from people who have attended, im looking forward to trying it out this weekend.

If youre running a diff in the front then it will have such heavy fluid in it that it will act like a spool when checking with the FDR meter. On a lighter fluid rear diff its possible it could slip some and alter the readings.

Agreed... Just trying to figure things out and do it the right way.
If I posted misleading things then I apologize. I did say though that nothing was definitive and that I'd have to do more testing.

One question I do have is that what were to happen if someone were to strip out the threads for the motor screws? Yes you can turn it for the other holes, but then the motor tabs will either hit the pod plate on a pan car or if you were turn them the other way now your wires are too short. And with the anti-tampering goo on the endbell screws you can't undo the motor and turn the case to the next set of holes.....
