Practice is allowed Saturday until 5 pm.. in the past the races have taken brakes and some of the guys practiced during the breaks...
One thing is that pit space will be at a premium. Saving spaces has allways been allowed after the gas race. However you may need to squeese in even more.
doors open early and I would suggest being there at open :-)

17.5 / T-4 gearing
I am getting my gears tomorrow for my 17.5 / T-4.
In my searches I'm hearing 4.9 to 8.5 FDR.
Does anyone know the lowest spur/pinion that I can fit without changing slipper? It sounds like you can't get a low enough FDR with stock slipper,but I was just wondering how low of a combo was possible.

Novak recommends a FDR of 7.6 for 17.5. To get this ratio on my T4 I used a Losi slipper set up because they have the smallest spur gear at 76T (LOSA3933) and a 26T pinion. 76/26 = 7.6. Use the Losi set up (pads/spur/plates) but the T4 spring and nut.

If you still need more traction, reapply again for 2 to 3 minutes and then wipe off tire..
or tune with Death or Buggy grip....
Caution , this will soften tire more and tire wear will occur faster...
