IMHO I have just completed the Winter Series at Bedworth in the Stock 27T brushed & 17.5 brushless (with Turbo option) & without a doubt the 17.5 is quicker on the straight (I was using 27T brushed)
Since I have stood the shocks upright, there is no more mid corner twitching which I hated & now that I can commit to the corners with little fear of flicking out. On the infield where speed is not quite so important, I actually gained ground as I was able to take the inside lines of some of the corners where the 4 wheel drives were 'pushing'.
The summer series is due to start in 2 weeks & the 17.5 will now be non-turbo & the 21.5 will be turbos/ advanced timing or both (I'll be trying the 21.5), so I'll keep you posted.

Will just have to work out which dates dont clash with my club, and when the other half hasn't arranged anything.

Whats a recommended fdr for start with a 380 size 3000kv/13.5T motor on the hobbywing no timing profile?
Thanks
Thanks

It have also use 3000kv sp, my FDR is around 5.9, which it could enough for my local track, where the straight is no so important. Howevr I think that it could be better if I push my FDR down to be 5.3 - 5.4. (or might be 5)
#2065
I started with 5.3 (96/47) and got pretty good speed all around. The car was pushing (under) a lot on infield and my diff rings came loose by the 2nd run.
I use the plastic outdrives, shoo-goo doesn't seem to stick very well on the drives. Any tips?
Thanks.

No they can't just re label the Spec-R gear diff this time because you need the Spec-R gear case too.
