Of course I can do that, I've been doing this a long time, but other racers running other cars get prompt answers and 1/12TH gets NO answers at all except "figure it out guys". I realize we are a small minority in the grand scheme of RC, but it would be nice not to be ignored.
We've been running 85mm to 90mm at TQ, and 90+ outdoors with 13.5 blinky, timing around 20+ from neutral
Haven't run a D3 or 3.5 yet, this is with "other motors"
13.5 blinky is a fairly new class for 12th, so not a lot of info on roll out there yet

A lot of people are running the motor in 12th scale. Just ask and see what responses. A lot of people are still testing this motor too.

Yeah I heard a few people did that with the xray. All I am saying is that the motor wasnt sold to 12th scale 17.5 and 13.5 as much as touring car and from what I heard timing, rotor, gearing etc changes. I know people are testing it although I'm sure the results are more than likely going to be passed over until after the 26th cause I know that there are a few people like Blake who only has minimal testing on his 12th scale.

I have been reading this thread since it opened, several people have asked if anyone could put them in the ballpark on set up for 17.5 and 13.5. I don't recall a single answer until Dave jumped in a couple posts back. And his info was not specific to the 3.5. This is not an issue unique to Trinity/Epic, just annoying from a company that made it's rep in pan car.

I'll be back running on the carpet in the next week or so and will get you a good ballpark for carpet with the D3.5 motors. I have not gotten to run one yet but I know the TC guys have been 2-3 teeth bigger on the pinion with the D3.5's than they were with the Revtechs. I would assume the same would hold true in 12th scale. Timing on TC has been between 18-25 degrees and depends on the motor for the blinky class in TC. Same will probably hold true in 12th scale.

can anyone share what fdr their running for blinky sedan.
