The key on the RTO is not to lug the engine. It needs to rev very high with a loose clutch and a high shift point. The second gear slingshot will amaze you. Rev the hell out of it.
Hi Dennis. I have one of your engines (RTU serial 522) just after some info. I run 16% nitro, what head shimming do you recommend?
Also I run a V1R with an internal ratio of 2.58. My 1st gear final drive is 48/16 (3) giving final drive of 7.74 and 2nd gear is 5.40, are these near the ballpark figures you run on your Mugen?
When you say loose clutch you mean high engagment point? I have my Mugen centax set at 1.0mm on the adjuster nut with .5mm end float, any recommendations? You can PM me or answer me here whatever you prefer
Thanks for your help!!
