I believe Todd does a special jig for drilling 3 different size holes, for now though I have resorted to drilling by hand, comes out ok if you take your time and line it up right. Will definately be ordering a jig though for Xmas - will make life alot easier I think.

Just a quicky to say a Putnam Pro'Pulsion CO27 powered me to 7th place in Round 1 of Carpet Wars. Round 2 is this weekend so i'll be looking for another good result I hope.

I was on 6.34 (25/88). The motor was not to hot when it came off and seemed to hold it's punch throughout the race, just the cells that let me down a bit I think.
Will be good to see you on the track this week Colin
....and Ricky is doing 19t this week so he can be as late as he wants

If he's too late, he'll be back in stock. But i know he has made provisions to be there nice and early this time.
Good result John. Keep that Putnam flag flying man.

had a couple of Xtreme runners come over & ask for advice after being told by there Boss man to run 7.2 (monster terroitory) No wonder there`s bad vibes about the co27 if they keep getting told the wrong ratio`s
Had same thing down WKRCC a UK tuner told him it runs like a monster

Monster's were on 7-7.2 at Rug Racers, which from the photo's of CW, RR was a lot tighter.
CW looked almost like an outdoor track layed out on carpet.
What were the other Monster runners on?
John, did you try gearing up from the 6.3 on the CO27 at all?

I was told as well that you should gear it 2 teeth higher than a monster, but that is pants. I ran what I felt was about right, plus the 2 mentioned and it was blistering by the end of the straight, but dog slow from the bends , plus it came off hotter than molten metal !!!!
I have a feeling with these your better off running normal gearing for a stock and just letting it rev hard which it seems very capable of.

I did Damian, but it just wasn't right. The final gearing I found seemed ok, the motor run good all the way through the 5 minutes, and wasn't that warm at the end either. Brush wair was good and as such comm wear too due to this

Another good weekend for the Putnam CO27. Placed 8th in the A but had a mare in the finals, both times being attacked at the start after a good run up past the cars on the grid or falling fowl to cars crashing in front and on top of me 
Ho hum !
I'll be taking the car to Wodson Park next weekend for their own carpet cup so i'll report back how that goes, though im not sure if the comm will last the event
