I don't recommend this gearing for tracks smaller than 140' straights and requires a lot of braking. I also have a 40mm fan on the motor to keep it cool.
Thanks for sharing...I am totally awared of the size of your track and I will adjust the final drive accordingly....just want to save/write down all these data in my notebook so I can compare and test while I was at the track...at least, I don't have to start from 6.8 final drive and keep gearing up...saved me some time.
