I see that most US sites recommend the C40 7T for large fast tracks and the C40 8T for small tight track but I also see that hacker have a 6 Turn available My question is what turn is best suited to most NSW tracks for Modified Racing such as The Creek, Forestville, Mingara, Castle Hill etc. I don't want to just jump in and buy say a 6T and find out that it may have been the wrong choice.
Also does anyone have any info on weather Novak are releasing a faster version of their SS5800 as I have seen that they have released a new one for Trucks and a SS4800 for stock racing?
Thanks for your advice
Good questions. Now I use a 6 turn, why beacuse I wanted to fastest one LOL. But it is overkill it pretty much wheel shins out of corners and you have to gear it a little softer than a 7 or 8. I know a guy that uses a 8 and is just as fast as the 6 but is much more drivable. I would go for a 7 turn if I was doing it again, perfect motor.
All of the tracks listed I have driven on and is fast around these places. Castle hill the 6 turn is major over kill but very very fun to drive with if you like heart in the mouth style driving LOL.
The Novak is perfect for Castle hill but gets killed on the other tracks. Any other question give me a PM and we can talk about it further.
I have advised many people on these systems now and everybody is happy with my advise and taken it. One guy didn't and he ended up with a system that blew up on it's second run at MECA 4.
Maybe he will listen in the future.
