I was wondering if you could recommend a setting for that combo, I need a little more punch and top end and was thinking about putting a little Boost into it. The motor is coming off at about 165 degrees and the speedie at 130 degrees. the gear ratio is really good it winds out to about 1/2 down the straight and has good punch so I don't really want to change the ratio unless I can get more out of the motor/speedie..

thanks

Tod

Hey Tod, we actually don't want the motor winding out at all. We want the motor pulling hard until you have to lift for the following corner. I don't know your gearing, nor the size of the track but hearing your comment I'd suggest gearing up.
