- 7mm carb insert, with 75% carb opening (epa)

Im geting like 09.45 minutes for a tank on Buggy ... so i pit every 8 no problem.

Another thing that helps on low traction and big/open tracks like that on the video, and obviously helps on fuel consumption is to go +1 teeth on clutchbell.

hope this help,

cya !
Great advice Pato. Running the .9 clutch springs and going
up a tooth on the clutchbell will help tame that beast down some.
Getting the power to the ground, with less wheel spin, is going to
get you better run times. I see alot of people springing there
clutches way too heavy now days. Add that to a blip-blip driving
style and you can forget getting any descent run times.
