What are you geared...? How old is the GTB?

Steve Weiss

The back end cap seems to give good consistant temperatures... while it might not be the very hottest part of the motor, most IR temp sensors will read it consistnatly.

I would also try putting a sticker of some sort on the center of the can so you can get good readings off of that as well.

You want to keep temps under 170... 160 if possible!

That's what I figured... Now it's confirmed

i have been geared every where. i have the older gtb. it is a year year and a half old. there were three of us that bought them at the same time and none of us could get them to run the 3.5.

my 4.5 is geared at 22pinion and 116 spur with a 1.7 internal.

Steve Weiss

Hi Steve,

Are you running 5 cell or 6 cell?

That gearing for the 4.5 seems a little high unless you're on a pretty large track.

With a 4.5 with the 12.3 mm rotor on 6 cells I generally would gear around a 9.4

With the 13.0 mm rotor on 6 cells I would gear around an 8.5.

If you run 5 cell you're going to have to gear up another two teeth from those starting gearings.

Also there were some gtb's that had "overly sensitive" temperature shut down a while back... it's possible that you and your friends have these older GTBs... if you send them in to me I can check them out and get them upgraded to the latest software version that doesn't have this temperature shut down problem.

Dang Stevo, you are one of the hardest workers for a company that I can think of. Always helping everyone on the boards. I wonder why you would need a break from this in 2 weeks. Enjoy that time off when it comes. See you around.

Steve Weiss

Hahah!

Thanks Paco!

In house turn-around time is generally 3-5 days.... that doesn't account for shipping time of course.

Fred,

I'm sorry, I haven't seen your baseball... but one place people oftentimes over look is in their baseball glove!

Go check it out and let me know if you recover your prized ball!

Steve,

I was looking at ebay for a spare rotor for my 3.5 and came across this bizarre listing on ebay



So the question is, compared to normal rotor. What would be the advantage to having a rotor like that?
