How do you determine what motor winding is best? do i have to get every winding and try them all to see which gives best laps? How do the fast guys know what to bring on the day?
Thanks and hope someone can point me in the right direction.

When I came back this season I started with a 10.5, then progressed to 8.5 6.5 5.5 and now I am running a 7.5. Carlson is right on it. 10.5 was just not quite enough power. Starting with the 8.5 is a perfect motor to get a grip on the kit.
