So I run asphalt rubber tire sedan and here's the situation...
T1FK04, RS ESC, IP 30 5000, Trinity Duo 17.5, FDR 4.17-3.91
The track layout is was changed so the LH side is essentially a straight at 60 ft, followed by a 120 ft straight. Previous week with just 120 ft straight (and ambient temp of 70 and overcast) motor temps were 165 with 3.99 FDR. This week with same FDR (Sunny 80 deg) with new layout temp is 185! Gear down two teeth to 4.17 = same temp. Lap times stay same ~14.8 fast lap and no drop off. So maybe gear up? so I try 3.91 FDR b/c the car feels like it's topping out just after getting on the main straight... =14.5 fast lap and car is not feeling like it tops out as early, also no big drop off in lap times. Only problem is motor temp is now 225!
Timing is nothing on motor and 30 boost. I'm thinking I will leave the FDR where it's at and drop boost to try to reduce heat. Correct?
I'm using the 199 software... I think.
