-R1wurks has a 12.3HT submitted to ROAR for approval but as of yet hasn’t been approved by ROAR.
Post how gearing changed helped or not

Previously I've ran 45/92 (with my 1.9 it gives me an FDR of 3.88), and it lost a lot of pep coming out of corners. That problem was what led me to ask some other racers about their ratios, and they all suggesting raising it to somewhere between 4-4.5 for that class.
Motor temps at the lower range were well under 120, even before the fan. With the R1 fan (which moves a LOT of air), I stopped measuring temps completely.
I do have a race this Sat, which is why I'm looking for recommendations. I'll try out what you suggested again, as the R1 comes heavily recommended, and I'd like to try and make this work.
