MarkA thanks heaps. I'll try that ratio next time on my 23T. Too bad I cannot see you perform. I've heard so much about SoCal too. This must be a terrific track. But I'm oceans away geographically.

There are so few people running pro10's in my locality that I have to explore and answer the questions I myself raise.

I swap left and right tyres every 2 battery packs. Do you do this?

I adjust the rear ride height to 4mm and the front about 3.5mm. The front tyres ware down faster than the rear as is always the case, the progressive decreasing diameter of the front tyres will have decreasing traction, but the corresponding progressive decrease in caster will tend to negate this effect by increasing initial turn-in. Hence we don't have to be too unduly concerned about the front tyres being worn down. This is just a thought. Do you agree?


When the rear tyres ware down and their diameters become smaller, would you bother using a larger pinion? What is the smallest rear tyre diameter you ever ware down to before you write them off?
