Yeah, unfortunately George is locally famous for driving like that.
Any chance you and Kiro could post up your Proving Grounds setups from the weekend like Slashdriver did? I need setup help for PG and trust your input as Kiro's RX8 settings were spot on.
How tight is your MTK slipper setup and what pads are you using? I pinned my slipper and run it with MTK and hd AE pads with the nut set flush to the end of the top shaft. But after only 2 race days on the new truck (about 12 packs run through it) I think I broke the rear idler gear last night on the last lap of the main race. Finished and won the race but the truck sounds like a diesel now.
I will be tearing the truck apart tonight to verify, luckily I just picked up a set of idler gears on Fri. As long as the diff is still good I should be good to go then. Should I switch to std AE pads or remove the pin so I don't toast idler gears every 2 race days?
I'm running a 4000kv Pro 4, RX8 and 15/62 gearing with a 65c 5100mah Lipo on a high bite clay track.
Thanks!
Edit: my current limiter it's set to 60, brakes at 50, timing 10% (3°)
