if you need gearing for wednesday I have a spare 79th spur and 24th pinion if needed (which will get your to 8.03 if needed for indoors.....) but I wont be there till 6.45 traffic dependant (but option is there) Hi geubes, If you bring it with you, that would be great, I will see how I get on with what I have got first of all, but I probably will take you up on that.

Having run team 1 race engines (I asume it is not the CO27) for 2 years and assuming Jason is a beginner I personally would go lower than 7.0. It is probable that in terms of heat 7.0 will be fine but I think Jason will get faster laps. I don't think I moved Craig below 7.2 during his first 6 months - I'll check

OK we started late early Feb - FDR fluctuated between 7.6 and 7.32. On 3rd June running 7.3 he did his first 18 lapper and first lap under 17secs - we then changed engines for a while.
A statistical sample of 1 is not foolproof! What you loose on the straight you will more than make up on the infield at Bashley IMHO

Hmm.. I think I'm in danger of getting confused here again.
Not sure if its the CO27, I just walked into Reality and asked Terry for the best brushed motor he had. And this is what I ended up with.
So... If I understand you correctly Yellowshark, then My current ratio of 6.77 should be a good place to start?

I can see why we've confused you Jason Somewhere between 5 and 8 is what your after ;D ;D ;D A CO27 is blue, I would have thought yours would have a pearlescent can (assassin) As you can probably tell, everyone tends to use different ratios for motors. I would keep it above 7 for Bashley and 8 for indoors to start with, you should be ok then

i wouldnt worry jason, its a case of too much information too quick is not good. either way the motor that youve got will be fine, to be honest the best way we can help you now is to see you and you equipement, its sound like your all set, just a small amount of fine tunning to get you started. all you need to worry about is having some fun.

If the can on the motor, sorry engine ;D, is light green go between 7 & 8. if it is blue (ie CO27) I would go low 7s. By all means start with 6.77 (I think that is the figure you mentioned) then change your pinion to one with one or two less teeth and try 7 or 7.2 and see what that does for you. My guess would be that you will do better (for the moment) with a figure in the 7's rather than the 6s. Once you get some practice and get to carry some speed through the corners you will be able to take advantage of higher gearing and drop into the 6s.

Thanks for all the support guys, I'll be at there tonight with my car, so it'll probably be easier to advice me when you can actually see what parts I have rather than me trying to explain something I know little about. With the pinion/spur combo I have at the moment the highest ration I can get is 6.77. I guess the best thing to do for now is to see how I get on with that and for people to advise me once we all know the score. P.S. the motor I brought is neither blue or green its silver with the word epic on the back. I believe its this one: www.realityracing.info/ourshop/prod_268929-7335H.html ;D

Nothing for you to worry about at the moment Jason. Typically a motor (or was that engine) manufacturer will provide several different engines. One will tend to be torquier and another higher reving. And therefore you will end-up gearing them differently for the same track
All you need to do is to get the gearing right for your motor and the guys at the track will help you with that. It will work fine with anything between 6.5 and 7.5 but you can gradually tune the gearing so it works even better ;D Your problems will probably be staying on the black stuff rather than what gearing your have.

If thats the motor you have, it's a ROAR based version, so is quite revy. So look towards the higher FDR's, say around 7.
