OK, so I decided to run try FW 211 last night in my 1S 1/12 17.5 Ballistic pancar, and I must say I am impressed! Upto this point 1224 was my favorite FW, but I think i have been converted.
I ran:
17.5 Ballistic Pan Car, RO 83mm
DDRS 7
Boost 50
Boost Ramp step/50 rpm (Very aggressive on this track)
RPM Start 1000rpm
Turbo 14
Turbo Ramp 24/.1
Turbo Delay .1
End Bell (15 Deg Static)
Motor Temp after 8 min. 106deg F. (
)
The car was impressively fast that I didnt experiment with settings to optimize the performance. I was about the same speed, and acceleration through the infield as the other brands, but I was actually gaining on them down the straight. The car was actually fast enough that the top racer in our club took quite a notice of the car on track, and my HW 1S has real interest in the club.
Unfortunately "my" on track performance wasnt upto the same standard as the ESC, crashing out with lap traffic while I was in the lead put an end to my night early. Oh well, one more week of indoor left.
Cheers,
Shawn.
