Hey drew I was looking at the maxpower rr3 .12 to be my spare motor for when I go to smaller low-bite tracks. I noticed the bore&stroke is not the same as the xxl3 which is based on the nova long stroke motors. This motor seems to be a short stroke motor. I wanted to know if the rr3 is completly stock or is it tuned alittle bit by massimo?? Also is the motor fast enough for larger tracks??
I have seen a few of these run and they really impressed me. Its a good all around engine. Every engine is touched in some way by Massimo. Its not as tuned as the other but still has a little touch of Massimo. Its a great engine for the price and will hold its own on bigger tracks.
Thanks Drew

From when we tested the more narrower the hex the more forward bite. On Ralph's car we run the stock hex's on the front and the -.75 on the rear. It seems to help with forward bite off the corner. No matter what hex's we run we also keep the same width. So all you are really changing is the scrub and contact patch.
Hope that helps,
Thanks Drew

Doing the same on the front presents even more geometry changes. The main thing to look for when changing hex' in the front is how the car gets in and out of the turn.

XRAY wins ROUND #2 of BARCELONETA RC SPEEDWAY
The 2nd round of the Puerto Rican Championship took place at Barceloneta RC Speedway. The traction was high all day and the competition was fierce. It was once again, Juan C Rodriguez, who took TQ honours in the second round of qualifying and missing the 15 lapper by just a few seconds. Right from the start, XRAY qualified 1-2-3 into the A main were they had a total of 6 out of 10 cars. The 45-minute final would prove to be a challenge for most racers as tire strategy and pit strategy came into the game.
From the start, Juan was able to maintain the lead throughout the entire race after driving a what could be described "problem-free" race. At the end, he was able to lap the entire field at least twice. Jose A Martinez starting from second position had a good pace until he flamed out the first time coming out of the pits. In the end, it was a battle for the third place as in the last few minutes Guillermo Camacho, Jesus Rivera and Fernando Mendez were neck to neck. In the end, it was Guillermo Camacho who was able to complete the podium behind Andy Baez but failed to pass tech inspection due to the height of the body being too low and Therefore handing the 3rd place to Fernando Mendez.
All the XRAY drivers would like to thank RCAmerica and XRAY for all their support.

Code:
1. Juan C. Rodriguez - 121 laps - XRAY NT1 2. Andy Baez - 119 laps 3. Guillermo Camacho - 118 laps - XRAY NT1 4. Fernando Mendez - 118 laps 5. Jesus Rivera - 118 laps - XRAY NT1 6.
