Hyper 7 mate

ohh....well i know NOTHING about teh HYPER cars! sorry...

Well the motor ran great all day. I qualified 3rd and was chasing the leader until...... Somehow the plastic shock end cracked and the rod pulled out. So I was running with only one shock and I think I finised 4th or 5th. Oh well next weekend hopefully will be a different story. Thanks again guys for the help.

good to hear the motor ran good!....i have had that same exact thing happen to me a couple of times same exact scenerio!...ended up placing 2nd though once! with only 1 rear shock lol.....and then i placed 4th with only 1 FRONT shock!

Magpie, where are ya ?

Awesome

Took the GX-5R out in my truggy this weekend and the damn thing blew up my clutch bell. lol It just couldnt handle it. the mesh was perfect and the bearings were brand new which did not blow they are still in like new shape, but i threw em out anyways, didnt want tainted bearings. lol



theres the bell, a section of the teeth actully broke off first, about three of em all in one chunk, then as i tried to drive it back to me the rest of the bell broke loose from the teeth. crazy. this CB was only a gallon old to.

wow i had the same thing happen to me with my GX5R..but it didnt get the chance to rip the whole gear off just a section lol....these things have CRAZY power

This is was also happened to mine yesterday which made me think yea i need new clutch and bearing kit but maybe the power of the gx-5r is too powerfull for a 13tooth

sorry flanno, raced in taree yesterday & started work at 1 am this morning, just got outa bed

scurr i use 13 tooth with the 1.0 springs so the clutch engages earlier in the rev range on dusty low grip tracks & still have massive top end.
on tracks with good traction i use the 1.1 springs with the clutch shoes reversed for max launch out of the corners.
if your straight is over 40 m long just step up a tooth for every 5m longer the straight is works for me
if you go to big in the tooth size you will loose punch for short runs to jumps out of corners as well
tyre choice is a big part of the problem as well
just try the softer springs first then the 14 tooth bell
HTH

Thanks for that info Magpie, I a just a little confused to when you say "Clutch shoes reversed for max launch out of the corners" not sure what u mean by this, The straight is about 40 meters and i seemed not to be hitting the top end before i needed to break for the corner. The track is a off road dirt track but with some pretty decent jumps just around the corners and some cars i see can clear these so guess i am wanting the same sort of punch (also i think my tyres may of been an issue as it was kicking its butt out on corners) Thanks again

put your clutch shoes on the pins going anti-clockwise, the clutch will give you max bit when it engages but this is for high grip tracks only

Sorry dude, so on a dirt track where the wheels spin up alot it not advisable to do the above?
Think i may get another 13 tooth clutch bell with some springs of 1.0 and 1.1mm

sounds good to me

different types of clays have different grip levels which require different types of tyres to get max grip, your clutch setup is only 1 part of the traction problem, have a look at what the fast blokes are using for tyres on the tracks u go to. have a talk to them about how the track changes through the day also.

hi guys what turbo plug would u prefer to use with gx5r or in gx7r?

tnx
