Any tips on gearing the new CO27 ?? And have any of you used tyre warmers prior to your heat ?

I would go a couple of teeth bigger as the CO27's are supposed to have more torque.
You'll have to try it along side a Monster to see the difference.

Hello All.,
I have a bit of a dilemma, i recently was running a mission, which was fully hoped-up. I have recently changed to an mi2 which is also fully hoped-up with the temu chassis, riser plates, low shock towers etc.
I am however 0.5 seconds a lap off the times i used to get with the mission, using same electronics and such. Why is the mi2 slower ?
Thanks

We need some more info from you to determine what you need to do. Can you post your setup in detail?

Hello,
I have tried different setups to no avail, I have spoken to a few people that have the mi2EC now, and they say that they too noticed the same going from the mission to the mi2. Yet when they went to the EC their speed came back.
Below is the current setup on the car, I’ll try give as much detail as I can,.
Car is running a co27 , with a gtx speedo, and ib4200 cells.
Front:
Schumacher blue spring
Trf shocks, 40wt, 2 hole
1.5 deg camber
middle lower camber link
second inner hole on shock mount
outer hole on arm
5mm ride height, 1mm droop
Rear
Schumacher white spring
Trf shocks, 40wt, 2 hole
1.5 deg camber
middle lower camber link
second inner hole on shock mount
second outer hole on arm
5.5mm ride height, 3mm droop
This is on foam tires, on asphalt, using temu chassis, riser plates, and lower shock towers, track is bumpy.
Thanks

Carpet Wars Round 1
Adam Rogers totally dominated modified in the finals of the CW4 round 1. Top job and well done to him.
I managed to qualify 9th overall in stock and took 7th overall at the end of the finals

Come on then John, what was your setup?
I was pitting next to Adam at the first RR and asked a lot of questions and watched them experiment with settings etc.

Hey Nemisis,
I run a Futaba S9402. It's a reasonably priced, and quite fast metal geared servo. I've been running it for two full years racing now (in mod class) and haven't had to replace gears in that period - so durability is also excellent.
Cheers

I used to run an HPI Lotus Elise shell on my Mission as the wheel arches were almost perfect.

I use both the Protoform Mazda 6 and the Parma Type M on my MI2. Both are great handling bodies on asphalt.

in the main, i tried using a little more sidewall to get some steering back, but it wasn't the right answer. the good part was that it was really easy to drive with, which i was able to do for five minutes, while alot of others got ugly.
i think this setup will be great at trackside, in just over a month, for the novak race. you listenin' out there jimnew? the results, pics, and some video will be posted soon on rc50.com. go on over and check it out.
