Checkpoint motor!

I would start at 6.3 and go from there. My motor temp is around 140 F. So, this isn't hard on the motor. You can gear it more but I tend to be a little conservative, at least until I know what the motor really needs for my race track. I believe that is a 35 pinion with a 102 spur!
