Paul Im running the 17.5 motor with the green rotor with with 3.23fdr what would be the most timing i should run on the motor.

Paul L

Hi It depends on the motor temp. with that gearing i assume that you are running on a good size track if the track is under 100ft long, i think you could be overgeared.
If you are settled on that gear i would start at only 15deg and go up on timing incrementally as long as the motor temp is ok.

Running at leisure hours straight is im guessing from 200ft to 225ft depending on the lay out. Or am I better of with the red rotor.

Paul L

Great, your gearing makes scene now with the strong rotor on that track, I think that the blue rotor could give you more speed on that track. i would test the blue rotor at a 3.4 and and the red rotor geared 3.5-3.6. i cant say for sure that it will be way better but that is what i would try if i were testing their.

Thanks

Hey Paul, how much do you compensate caster when using anti dive? I felt like 6dg worked with a .75mm difference (F low, R mid), aiming for the feel of the 4dg blocks.

Paul L

I dont know the exact amount of caster block angle that you are left with, but as for feel goes i would say that 4deg blocks and 6deg blocks W.75mm dive have a similar feel in overall steering.

Thanks

I believe the net effect will be somewhere around 5*.

Paul, I know you cant let much info out, but will the people be able to look forward to a new XRAY model after the worlds this year? Also what do you think would be a good starting point for outdoor parking lot asphalt sprayed with grape soda. I've never ran there before and i want to try to get close, Thanks.

Paul L

Hi Randy. Based on history you can expect a new kit sometime late summer,
I'm sure we will know more after all the big asphalt races coming up.
As for the set up, I would start with my Jackson set up from last years nationals. I think That is the last time I ran asphalt, your car was good their too.

Thanks!

Paul, I put your setup on before the 3rd round of qualifying, It was still a little pushy probably because of the tires, however i qualified 6th in the A-main and after making a couple small tweaks to suit the stock class better with the setup, I managed to move into second and close in on the first place driver. Thanks for the help!

Nice! no problem
