whats the sweet spot on temp for the 17.5 motors? ive had mine hit flashing red and solid red today in blinky,fdr was 3.25 to start with with 2 in the window,it wasnt fast enough and was flashing red,but after 30 secs with the fan still on it went to a solid green,so geared down to 3.17 and still not fast enough at the end of the straight,tried 0 in the window at 3.09 and after 5 mins its solid green but still not fast enough,so tried same fdr with 1 in the window and solid red,my car is nice and free no binding from bearings,the other top 5 cars seem to have all found the sweet spot at 3.12 with 69/42 i was running 38/39/40/65 ,first time out with this motor and and im impressed with the punch,im just struggling with top speed,getting caught towards the end of the straight,and about 12 cars run the same motors ,at our club they are the fastest motors out there,i was previously running an lrp x20 but couldnt get anywhere near to a car with a tw motor
any help appreciated
