yeah, i was at norcal friday and started at 34/72 with 60 degrees (i ran 36/72 with about 62 degrees at delta) and it came off at 180 during practice. i bumped it down to about 45 degrees and temps were where i wanted (145-150).

I think I am 32/69 and 55 degrees of timing. I come off at 135 degrees but I have a fan. Works great at Norcal.

Ranging from 69/32 to 69/34, 125 to 180 degrees at 58-60 boost on can. 69/34, small track hit 180, dropped to 32, went down to 140-150 Bigger track went to 34 and and was at 125-135.

I am thinking about getting the Maxzilla or the certified 5% D4 and was just wondering which one would be better or if they are pretty simular in proformance. The Maxzilla is about $45 less and currently in stock so it worth it to wait for the 5%?

I think you would be just fine with the Maxzilla

Do you know what the real difference is between the two? I currently am running the Schuur Speed V3 and it is fast so I just want to make sure if I get a D4 its just as good or better.

I ran 30/72 with 60 degrees timing at Nats in my MM Serpent that weighed 1590. Motor came off at 160 every time and had the perfect amount of low and top end power.


In the RM I ran 32/70 with 60 timing and that car weighed 1545. Came off at 160 every time.

Was the track tight? I'm having some issues with my power band. Seems to have awesome mid range power but bottom and top end is suffering. WHAT IS EVERYONE GEARING AND TIMING THEIR MOTORSSSSSS
