Hi All... I'm occasionally racing a 4 cell/ mod powered 1/12 Associated L3. There is no 1/12 class at my local track, so the 1/10 pan cars allow me to race with them. We race 5 min on a high grip asphalt track. I am running an Orion 8x1 @ 18-20 degrees with new sanyo 3000's. I cruise the practice lap, then race 5 min. Gearing is 17/72 (48 pitch) with full size tires. Car is very fast and runs well and has won the "A" a few times.
Issue: I'm having problems dumping or getting VERY soft on the last lap.
Questions: Am I running too much timing, too much motor, too much gearing?
What do you guys run for winds, motors, gearing? I couldn't make 8 minutes with this set-up. Why can a mod sedan make run time?
Comment: 1/12 scale rocks! Kinwald was turning 8.7's with a 7x1 in his sedan....I was turning 8.9's! YaaaaHooooo!
