Default gearing

Anyone have a starting point for gearing a T4 with a stock motor.
I'll be out for the GRAND OPENING of the HARDING RACEWAY.

I'm going to bring the T4. And maybe the Nitro EDM. The T4 is ready but the EDM is not yet.

See you guys tommorrow.

Jeff

Oval? Offorad Road Course? If off-road, go with an 18-19

I wish I could have made it down to see the new oval but I couldnt get away today. If there are TT01s are involved, I'll be down to check it out for sure!

I finally got my stuff the other day , checked my bank statement today and found they charged me twice . the guy said because it was sent back to them (because they screwed up the adress) the person that sent it back out charged it again too . For that they get eight flaming heads !!!

Does anyone want to spend three days at McCullough's this coming weekend and be my Pit Biiiaaatttccchhh. You supply your own food, beverage, and entertainment for the long days, I will be sooo nice and supply you with three days of transportation!!! Just Kidding!!!

Sam, I weighed my car and the radio side is a little over an 1 oz. heavier, is that true. That is with an 1100 battery an fuel. I tried a 2500 AA and it was something like 1.4 oz. heavier than an 1100. I am going to try .75 oz on the exhaust side on Friday to see the handling. I don't think my car or me could have been much better the last time I was down there.

Wo, eight flaming heads, you must be pi$$ed!!

I called Nitrohouse last week to see where my order was and they told me the did not ship because my credit card number is invalid. So, I gave them the right one and he told me my crap would ship out that day. Guess what??? I got a call from them today saying my credit card is invalid and I need to call them. What the????

I will call them tomorrow and who knows they may be getting eight flaming heads from me!

The sad part about nitrohouse is that is Ofna's retail center, it is owned and operated by Ofna. I have had my run-ins with them in the past and it dosent get much better...here is a flamin head from me

Dave, I will leave work at 12:00 and come straight to the track and I should get there around 3:30. I think I could spare may-be 4 minutes of my valuable time to assist you with just a slight fee! May-be you could get me a set of Double D's for my scale! Not a problem Dave.

CR - My rear is pretty even from left to right but the front is about an oz different. That's with no fuel in the buggy and a 1400mah pack so I'd say it's pretty balanced after fuel. I was curious and just checked it with four 5lb kitchen scales about an hour ago.
