Default Re: The newest drag racer gears up!

Made 6 runs last night at TnT, still slow but pretty consistent. We now think the gearing is too low, so we need to do the equivalent of a rear gear swap to let the little 12.90 engine wind up a bit. The current gearing is for an 8.90 engine that has a lot more bottom end.

Learning as we go! The upside is that I'm using a bunch of the parts that came with the car, and we've met a lot of really nice folks, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] We'll be back at in a few weeks.
