Well I have just returned from running the LCG with a Trinity Pro CO27 using 4200 Eastpower cells from a race meet at gosford. I was using Sorex 24's with A firm insert on low/medium grip asphalt. (Outdoor basketball courts). The car had plenty of Rip, pity the Driver took 2 mins to warm to stock driving.
The car handles really well and I was able to post my best lap times. Pity the consistency is not up to par 1.3. Will have to work on that for next time.
For Pops
I am going to try a Yokomo plastic spool, as one of the other competitors was running a HPI Pro 4 with spool and he had a lap on me. I ended up finishing second one lap down.
For those considering running a CO27, here is the combination I used: 70 spur with a 26 pinion. Motor can still pass the pinky test. ie Not ultra hot. So maybe can go one more on the pinion. The track is reasonably free flowing.
BTW I fixed my steering problem by moving the servo saver on the servo and backed off to 95 % throw each way.
The 4200's provide excellent voltage and runtime. Thanks go to Feral batteries.
Hope this helps someone.
If I get time will fillout a setup sheet and post here.
Later
Calvin.
