I would agree with Rob, 4 1.0 springs with medium shoes and no flywheel weights on the M2C works flawessly in my truggy with the Clocked B5. I've tried going to both 1.05 and .95 springs, but always come back to the 1.0s.

Hey all,
Thought I would post this huge announcement here as we Winnipeg'ers are very excited about our new 2011 track rebuild and with today's announcement of our local Mid Canada R/C track hosting the 2011 RCPS National Finals on Sept 16,17,18/2011. It's going to be a huge event for us and we began our renovations/overhaul the first day after our 2010 Race season ended. Here's the official link to the RCPS Nationals thread http://www.rctech.net/forum/canadian...6-17-18-a.html
Here is a photo of where we left off before the snowfall... Since then, we added another 30 truck loads of clay and approx. 10 more scheduled for next week.

RCPS Canada 2011 Nationals Venue Chosen
After some careful consideration, RCPS Canada has chosen its venue for the 2011 National Finals. We have decided to break with tradition somewhat (east one year/west the next) and have decided on a more central location for all.
The event will be held September 16, 17, 18 at the Mid-Canada R/C Auto Racing club in Winnipeg.
The Off Road facility is located at 738 Symington Road (corner of Symington Road and Highway #1 east) in Winnipeg and is part of the Grand Prix Amusements facility.
The track is currently undergoing a complete rebuild so photos are not available at this time. Track/facility photos will be posted when the track is completed later this year. About the site: onsite canteen serving burgers, dogs, snacks and refreshments. There is also an on-site hobby shop, electricity (track is lit incase we run late), water and other amenities.
For those interested, there is plenty to do when guys are not on the track. Grand Prix has 3 go-kart tracks, bumper boats, etc as well as midway style amusements.
Traveler’s campground is located a minute from the track and is next door to Fun Mountain Waterslide Park. Many racers have stayed at the campground in the past and have nothing but good things to say about it, very clean and they even have an outdoor pool.
Super 8 Motel is 2 minutes in the opposite direction from the track for those of us who don’t wish to “rough it out” at the campground.
Two large shopping malls located 10 minutes away from the track.
Host club website: www.midcanadarcautoracing.com
* The Nationals are not an open event, meaning you need to qualify for the event through your divisional series. The top 12 finishers in each class in each division will get invited to the nationals. Those spots are reserved for the first week of registration and then the race will open to any racers who have competed in at least one divisional race. The Nationals will be limited to 250 entries as this will allow for a smooth weekend of racing without running into the late hours of the day. *
** The Nationals use a points equalization formula that can be found here, http://nitrooffroad.rcprosites.com/s.../contentid/542 . That is why we use rcsignup as the only means of registering for our events. Once the registrations close I need to build a point’s database for the race, and I get all of the registered racers from that site. **
Thank you

Thanks, I did forget to mention I am running it in a truggy.
So Med shoes with 1.0 springs would be a good place to start with a Stock Ninja JX.21? I would say our track is Med traction but when it blue grooves during larger races it will be High Traction. Do you have any advice on what to run for weight in the flywheel? This is my first aftermarket clutch so I am trying to take in as much as possible.
Thanks again

I just talked with Neal for about an hour over the phone. He is just full of GREAT info. Well worth the hour of my time. Can't barely wait to strap a Clocked mill into my new buggy.
