I came across some old nitro tubing I had sitting around. The tube is to large. The wing wire is very loose fitting.




Jeffgmann

They make different sizes. Why does it have to be for nitro? Anyone try antenna tubing instead?





Craig

Won't fit my friend. To small of hole for the wire to slide into.







Jeffgmann

Can someone tell me what the transmission ratio for the karts is?

WoodyT

Mitch said it was 10:1 no different than whats run on most real scale shift karts.






Jeffgman

Correct Jeff and thanks. Also rollout makes a difference as well. This has to do with your Foam tires or wheel diameter. I won't get all technical since it really can't be changed much considering you can't cut down your tires much more to increase take off nor add rubber for more top speed. Everyone is basically on the same level playing field. It all comes down to the drivers driving skills actually.

No problem just helping out bro.







Jeffgmann

While you all are on the topic of rollout. I'll fess up the new tires are a little bigger than my Sheps. First chance J and I get I'll be changing my punch setting. With the tires being larger in diameter I know my take off will be slower. We'll have to see I haven't ran it since we put on the new rims and tires.

I think someone in another thread was asking about this to. Maybe Elfie or ? Not sure. When I changed over from the old to the new there wasn't a difference. I didn't retune anything. Leave it, I would. I don't see it making a world of difference.





Hairless Monkey

Your exactly right it won't make much difference. If you think you see it, add more punch but keep your timing the same.





Robert

Then I guess I'll be hanging on to my Reedys until?

Sure Cake, I wouldn't expect anything else. This is why I'm not rushing to get them out on the tracks just yet. Todd and I want to do more comparison testing during races. This will be the true tale of the cells.

Jeffgmann

How did they mount up? I was looking again at Larcs and noticed he shave off some of the inside chassis. Did you have to do the same with these?

Any pictures Jeff?
