if you look at the final drive ratio, there is not much difference. your is 5.06, ah10's probably around 4.9. but anyways, glad your car can hang with other cars using 1st gear only at the end (well, almost) of a rather long straight away. if that is really the case, maybe you can just remove the 2nd speed completely to save some weight, since you don't really need it.

I am smarter than that. You see if I removed the 2nd gear then when it gets to the end of the straight and doesn't shift it will just burn my motor out. Anthony got a 8 spur difference between his spurs, I only have 4, plus he uses bigger gears.

I said my car can hang with other cars on the straight, but not the corners. I have even been told by some guys at the track that they shift as soon as the straight begins, I don't. I changed my servos and my shift point, so now I should be doing the same thing.

I don't want to make anyone look bad or anything, but when I say something that works weird and people start doubting me and then there are arguments, and people start saying I'm wrong or something, it looks bad.

The guy with the black Mercedes didn't believe me that my engine ran so low on temp, so he took his temp gauge and we went out on the track, and I went WOT on every place I could and even crashed a couple of times because I wanted to go WOT as much as possible. The temp never got over 170F. Marvin said the same thing that i was bullshitting, he went with me to the track, got his temp gauge and it ran low temps too. Now that the temperature of the engine arguments are over, now people doubting me about the transmission. Some things sometimes work weird, just because I'm a newb at the track doesn't mean I exxajarate a lot.

it is ok to exaggerate a bit, but you have got problems when you start to belief it too.

that thing with the 1/8 scale wasn't exagurating. I was indeed dead even with a 1/8 scale on the straight, It doesn't matter if the 1/8 scale driver wasn't going WOT or his car was broken or he let me pass. The statement is true anyway you cut it. Now if you say that your car beat a SAM missle than that's exagarating.

I know 1/8 scales are faster, and corner better.

Well, actually if you wan't to keep almost the same gear ratio you are using succesfully with late shifting (almost first gear everywhere), here is my suggestion, which means you can really make use of the two speeds, and gain more inside power.

Right now you have a 6.75 to 1 ratio in first speed and a 5.05 to 1 gera ratio in second speed. That gives you a good speed on the main straight (almost fully in first gear) and you shiftb late for a short time to avoid engine overreving, but then you suffer on the inside.

Put a 17/49 gear set on first speed to give you a total of 7.28 to 1 gear ratio.
Put a 21/45 gear set on second speed to give you a total of 5.41 to 1 gear ratio
The average gear ratio between the two would be 6.75 to 1, which is very similar to your 6.75 to 1 you are using.

This way you'll gain some more top speed and gain a LOT more low end for the inside.

Now you can set your shifting point much earlier and make full potential use of the two speed, with more low end and top end.

Trust me, you'll thank me later. I work a lot with Kyoshos and Mugens at my track.

Correction to my post, it should read like this:

The average gear ratio between the two would be 6.35 to 1, which is very similar to your 6.75 to 1 you are using.

fine, now that i know how you cut it. so what was the purpose of that statement ?


not really, as long as the SAM is not moving (and i don't care why it is not moving), my car will always beat it and by your definition, i am not exaggerating.

You missed something here! I am running 0.8 module

lol, so from your theory, a Nissan Sentra can outrun a 360 Modena on straight, twisty road and such right?

anything is possible with money.

I have even seen Jettas that beat a viper like nothing. If you want, you can come to my house and I'll show you the video, or e-mail it to you.

yeah, i guess you're right, an rc would most likely beat an SAM missle do to it's size, it's hard to hit a small target that goes 50+mph. Even if the SAM is chasing the rc car.

That's allright, I dont like rice cooker to begin with!

HUH:weird:

here are my findings:

A:
1st gear 49/17 7.292
2nd gear 45/21 5.421

top speed 45.369mph

B:
1st gear 48/18 6.747
2nd gear 44/22 5.060

top speed 48.609mph

I don't know where you got your numbers, but due to my calculations if I go with the 45/21 gearing combo I will get more accelaration but I will lose 3mph in the top end.

Also i factored in the foams, which are 60mm in diameter, if i go with 65mm foams then my gearing will give me the top speed of 52mph.

you see, the bigger the pinion and the smaller the spur the faster you go. You can't have a pinion too big because it will damage the motor. If you go with 4 stroke motor and gear the pinion really high and the spur really small you'll be as fast as the 2 stroke guys or even faster. I can see a RRR with a 4 stroke whooping on everybody at the track in the future, because 4 strokes got the torque.

huh?

:weird: WHAT A MESS!!!!!!!!!!!:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
