Anyone Got a Good Setup for 21.5 HW Motors Please ?
Thanks
I have tried most setings up down and back again But I still can't find what seems to be the all singing all dancing settings ..........
I Can't seem to get it to go geared below a FDR of 5.1 !! I have read people run them at closer to 3.5 ??? How do you acheave this without loosing all Punch out of the corners ???
Any Help would be great thanks
With these new speedos and brushless motors, you can gear up really high and still get lots of punch out of the corners because of all the torque the motors make. If your FDR is too high , then you are not taking advantage of the strengths of a high turn motor, and bypassing its torque range just to use RPM.
What I have been finding is run the gearing where you normally would, add 2-3 teeth, turn the timing down on the motor (15 deg mark for Novak, 0 for others), then use the boost/turbo to regain the high rpm for the straight away. You can then tweak from there using the boost and turbo ramps.
And FDR in the 3.5 range would be right for a 21.5T, Heck I run my 17.5 in the 4.0 range all the time. If you are lacking punch coming out of the corners, you might be bringing the timing in too quick, or to soon. You want to keep the timing low coming out of the corner for the low-end punch.
Sorry I dont have a great 21.5 setup for you, I only have experience with 17.5's and lower (13.5 and 10.5).
