Ducky, I have a Tekin Redline (V1) in my buggy, with ~ 6 deg mechanical timing.
Rick, I can only manage to clear that triple once or twice early on, when the battery voltage is still high. But you can do it by taking roughly the same line as the 17.5 buggies do. With a bit more practice, maybe I can do it more often...
James, you "just" learned about gearing and timing? Didn't I teach you about timing a while back? Also, you never answered my question about your 44.2. Put some V2 shocks in there and run it.
