I like the look, and I like that you guys are here helping racers, but you gotta tell me the numbers are VERY conservative or something.
you can run a bit more timing to gain the kv with the same gearing..
Typically the Viper motors Gear 1-3 tooth more then other motors of the same wind.
in 13.5 buggy
i ran 26/75 in ae b4
i now run 26/78 and my car feels the same.
but my motor is more efficient on bottom end, And smoother through the whole power band.
