Hi STLNST,

Thanks for the guide, i set that up as my initial settings but i was reaching top speed to early in the long straight and the motor was overheating at about 2mins into a run. The long straight is about 50M or 160feet before entering a sweeper which would make the long straight with the sweeper about 200ft or so.

Would 9 be still the correct ratio?

Thank you in advance for all the advice and assistance

Regards
