Leave timing at default on motor, use Flow timing to fine tune how hard you want it to hit
temp at 4m

This is the track I race at (not me in the clip):

Just checked my pinion size, it is 28T with the 116T spurgear. That gives a 7.664 gearing.

For sure gear up until you have some speed
Then adjust FLow to have more rapid acceleration
If you add a lot of boost with the Flow, you can also go down by 1 or 2 pinion, but only if things get hot
Normally with a mod motor, you have the option of too much power everywhere, it's just about fine tuning to suit for a consistent pace

I sense a disturbance in the force.

That would require a new car, not just an updated one wouldn't it...?

How does that Samix aluminum chassis perform on carpet or asphalt (17.5)? Is it better at one over the other?
My chassis is getting beat up underneath when going on asphalt, wondering if this aluminum chassis would be able to better handle that.

What would be a good FDR with the 418. 13.5 blinky fairly small high grip carpet track?
We use 4.0 in 21.5 blinky at same track
