About the rear end sliding around....when is it doing it: corner entry, corner exit, mid corner?
What surface are you running, and what set-up do you have?

As you acclerate out of the corner.
Its carpet but permanent track and bumpy

OK my set up is :
108 spur and 35 pinion
2mm spacer between the upper bulkhead and the inner pivot for front
and 2mm between upper bulkhead and inner pivot for rear
5mm front ride height
5.5mm rear ride height
4mm before the tyre lift from the ground (droop i think)for front
3mm before the tyre lift from the ground (droop i think) for rear
standart suspension 3 holes ,1.1mm each ,40w oil standart spring silver rear gold front
camber 1.5 all around
castor 4
wheelbase is standart
FF 1.5 , FR 2
RF 1.5 , RR 1.5
0.75toe angle front
and standart toe angle rear
4mm ackermann
and i think thats it
and my probleme is that :when i enter the corner , i have to break quite hard to turn without the rear end spinning so it means i loose time . So what i would like to do is to corner faster without the rear end spinning .
thank in advance

I'm one of those guys that just sets the steering up to lock, but never actually turn the wheel all the way. So for you I'd do what yyhayyim said to do. That should be a good overall starting point.

At the track now and have been chasing problems with my car all day. The problem that I am having now is at any large amount of steering angle the steering freaks out like the cvd's are binding in the spool or something. I am running a 3racing spool ground out to fit the wce cvds

Some time ago on this thread there was a link to a really good cyclone gear chart for 16t and 18t pulleys. Ive tried to find it but cant, can some one put a link back up. Thanks

Right guys I need some help. Im going to be running an LRP 13.5 brushless motor in my cyclone for the 1st time. I need to know what spur gear sizes I will need and what pinion sizes as well. I have the andy moor wce with the 16t pulleys. Im told to gear this motor around 4.0 on a large asphalt track. Any other advise ref 13,5 would be use full


You pretty much got it. 4.0 is close to what I use with the lrp 13.5. I used a 91 tooth spur with pinions around mid 50's.

Oh and gearchart.com is good for gearing. They only have the 16 tooth pulleys I think though.

I run a novak 13.5 and gear it 88/46. I run the lrptc speedo and the motor comes off around 140 ish. I run on a long narrow track that has a very long straight and a tight infield. Next week I'm going with an 47t pinion. I also run lipos.
In general let temperature be your guide. 160-170 being the tops. (IMO)
