It also slides the wheels back ever so slightly too.


What it comes down to is does your car rotate through the turns properly and do you have enough forward bite to clear the hardest jumps (like where there's a short run up). Again this is only when your car is on the right tires. I say this because tires are 90% of your setup
I am still running the Proline Tires that came with the kit.

i just can not turn sharp enough.

The most common front tires at my track are green or blue Barcodes up front.

If tires dont solve my issue of not being able to turn sharp enough then I will try 2.5

Do you think it is my tires?

It sure sounds like tires to me...Are you racing indoor or outdoor? And what is the dirt like?

I am currently running 35/75 with end bell timing turned all the way up on my revtech 17.5, it has great top end but looking for a little bit more low end without sacrificing to much top speed. Would a 32/75 work or should I go 33 or 34?

End bell timing can be adjusted for blinky classes. I am about 30-35 degrees on my reedy 17.5

Need to be at least 72/32 to keep up at West Coast in the stock class! 75 spur is the wrong way!! Try going back to 72 and carry more speed so you don't need as much bottom end!

If I was any good I could do that....I asked Ron what Motter was running and that's what he told me,I think it's just as fast with better bottom,took 1st in stock buggy at sdrc Friday night.cant wait to try out the Redlands tracks!

not being a dick when I say this, but NO ONE on here can tell you that unless they race on your track. We can offer suggestions for what should work, but that's about it. If guys are running barcodes in the front, there's a good chance your out to lunch as far as tires. Take a few minutes and ask the local fast guys what tires and foams you should have and then start from there. Once you get your car with the right tires, see if one of them will take your car for a few laps.... they will be able to tell you almost instantly if you are in the ball park or out to lunch.

I'd like to know as well as I've got a 17.5 Rev-tech I'm considering running in stock class. I'm assuming your temps are ok?
