The Dark Knight Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Did you say you race blinky? If so, the kill shot would be my choice out of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta05 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Yeah I race blinky. I think the killshot has more timing out of the two, but I have heard they can be blown up easily with too much timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ta05 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Looks alone, there is nothing between them. both great looking motors with plenty of timing. The gen 2 has 40 which is adequate. The killshot has about 60! Being the guy I am I'd be too tempted to crank the timing right up on the killshot. Jack uses the Gen 2 redline and has no issues, a very quick guy too so I'm leaning towards the Redline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian S Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Don't rob and Marcus also use gen 2 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta05 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Marcus has a fast car so I would not be surprised if it's a gen 2 Rob I don't know about, but I think Greg and Mark Rodgers use the gen 2 too. My first gen redline has 24 degrees and is about 4 years old so im sure it's taken a performance hit now, hence my decision to get something quicker Edited December 3, 2014 by ta05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian S Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) I did think about better motor but decided with my skill maybe faster is not alway quicker as I am now beating my PB each week with current motor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited December 3, 2014 by Ian S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta05 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) My results have gone down since June, I think the drive shafts binding had something to do with it. But even before that I were a few laps behind Jack and Mark, so I'm hoping its because I have an old motor. Shocks are rebuilt now, not much left to try before I start ripping my hair out If I am honest, banning additive has helped some, but hindered others. Having no additive suits people with a smooth driving style. If you jab at the throttle, the car will under steer quicker than someone who is smooth. If you are smooth, fast and consistent though, the lack of additive has slowed you down (mark, jack) simply because of the lack of grip. hence the PB's will be reset.

ta05 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) He won't get close to Marks time Im just glad i'll be able to bolt on some 30mm rear tyres now, hopefully the 6mm hexes will do the job. Ian, Have you made any setup changes since additive was banned? I was told of an interesting setup. Spool upfront, 50wt! (not 50,000) rear gear oil. (I created a thread on rctech.net on road section called "Touring car setup - changes" if you want some reading lol) I really like the forum, very informative. This would give a lot of rotation on the back to counteract the spool push up front. I am going to try new driveshafts and 30mm rear tyres first - and a new motor if I can get the one I want by the 20th.

Ian S Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 not changed much only 30mm 37S rears instead 30mm 40s and put it all on setup board will take a look at new tread did you get 50 or 52mm drive shafts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian S Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 read the thread interesting reading i would try 30 x 37 rear 26 x 42 front ride hight 3.5mm front 4mm on rear 4mm droop over ride hight alround Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta05 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 I think they are 50. I have not measured them but they are from Demon products. I do think some setup changes are needed since additive was banned but I have yet to fully understand what they are. First i'll change the drive shafts as they were binding and probably causing understeer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta05 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Might need to collect that shell before next Friday as my existing one is rather battered now, if that's ok Ian? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian S Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 That's fine when would you like to collect it If it easier could spray it for you. Ian Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta05 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Any time before next Friday, there's no rush as long as I get it before then I was only going to spray it one colour, something bright. If you have anything, yellow, or whatever then that would be cool and I'd give you a few quid of course for doing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
