RC51 gearing for Midwest tracks

tigerblade · February 19, 2003, 06:10:44 AM

Right now I've got 15/41. I'll mostly be running at Gateway, MAM, and hopefully maybe Blackhawk. Any suggestions for these tracks? TIA... ;)

Haven't gotten around to trying any gearing changes. I was going to start with 15/40. 15/41 will probably work pretty well for those tracks, unless it causes some bad shift points.

MAM is the only track of those I've been to, and the short straight between 4 & 5 was the only place I really redlined. If I went up a gear it was just for a moment, so I usually just redlined it there. Getting rid of the soft limiter might address that, but I also plan to be going a lot faster than I was. ;D

Disconnect the soft limiter.

A 15,16 front, 40,41,42 rear should be a good selection for the RC.

I've already got the wire to defeat the limiter; it'll be done soon. Thanks for the gearing advice. ;)

I put ss lines on immediately after I bought it; will be replacing pads before I hit the track.

The rider is the one in need of major dieting. ;)

Rotors will have to wait. I've got too many other things I need to spend $$$ on first. Thanks for the advice though, I need all I can get! ;)

Hey, If I can help you anymore feel free to contact me. ;D Also, Ive' got alot of "like new" stock take-offs, and extra spares from my RC if your looking for stuff. See ya at the track 8)

tigerblade · March 06, 2003, 05:32:03 PM

I may call on you sometime. I'm getting close to having my "necessities" but don't have spares built up yet. Thanks!

I suggest going with the 9/66 gearing so you can do wheelies with the giggleheads. ;D
