I think the shorter than usual time between those releases had more to do with the rapid adoption of the high-traction black carpet that paid significant dividend to getting the cg as low as low can be.

For me, 3.8 FDR works (69/36) and 48 degrees of motor timing.

I'd try a FDR between 3.8 and 4.0. I have found that my Trinity motors seem to run better with a little higher timing with lower gearing. Try both approaches to see what works better for the track you are running on. You have to also take the track into consideration... If there are a lot of 180 type turns... You may want to keep the gearing towards the 4.0 FDR to get the power out of the turns. Just keep an eye on the motor temps. Trinity motors can take the heat...

Good Luck!
