Very Reliable..
Ran two flavors of the R1 Wurks this past weekends TCS event. No lack of grunt from either the 21.5 or 17.5
competing againts the likes of the uber-fast KillsHOT, Orca and the other must-have motors my R1's held their own very easily.
looking forward to experimenting more with them.

Was running R1 21.5 for TCS GT3 class. Great power at 3.3 fdr and 28 timing. One of the faster car on the lot but too bad I couldn't hold it together. Still need to experiment with gearing and timing. I heard more timing and higher fdr will produce more rip.

This is true. In 17.5 I was running a 3.5ish fdr and 30 to 35 timing and car was fast. I did just change my fdr to 3.8ish and timing at 35*. I cant wait to test it on the track cuz the car feels like a mod. Good luck to all going to Reedy. I know this motor will be in the top 3 in stock classes.

This past weekend in 17.5 I started with a 3.58 fdr 35* timing and the motor was strong, started taking teeth off the pinion and the motor felt even better. Ended up running a 3.88 fdr 35* timing and the motor came alive!!! Can't wait to add a little more timing and drop a couple more teeth.

Does the 17.5 have any timing built into it? I the motor last night and started with a 4.0 fdr and the motor timing set at "0" (factory setting).
The motor ran good and temp was 105 degs after 5 mins , so I thought I would try to add a little timing, I found out that if I go past the 12* mark on the can the motor starts to clog real bad as the car start to move.
The motor timing marks go from 0 to 50* on the can which leads me to think about the motor having at least 30* timing built in

Now I have a good starting point on gearing and timing.

Just wanted to say thanks to the staff at R1 Wurks, they have great customer service, got back with me quickly and answered all my questions. I will be adding a few more of there motors to my pit box.
