I must be the only one out here that thinks this update sucks... at least so far...

I spent 4 hours today trying to get my car to even match the speed and feel of v200 and couldn't even get close...

My setup when I gave up was -
Touring Car
Tekin 17.5
0 motor
40 boost
0 turbo
start rpm 3??? (don't remember the exact number)
end rpm 12000

Gearing was 4.66FDR which is probably still a little high but a fair way down from where I was with v200(down 2 teeth on the pinion and up 3 on the spur - one of the vagaries of the Tigermoth car is limited motor movement) but the car just wasn't working for me on the straight which is about 20m (65feet) long on a small but fast flowing track... yes I had HEAPS more punch out of the tighter turns but it seemed to run out of puff down the straight... basically like an under-geared brushed motor would..

motor temp was about 65C (150F)on a 36C day (track temp near 50C)..

Any useful thoughts?
