dazzi220 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 4.6 running on a 3 speed transmission? Hpi recommend 17/47, I'm lookin for the best balance between the two - fast acceleration good top speed. Thanx Dazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx Dazz ← I will be using an STS .28 (4.66cc)with a 3 speed box very soon...I have been recomended to use the 18/47 or 19/47 config to keep the wheelies down a bit. But failing that go for the Savage body extension to lengthen it to keep a bit more weight on the front end, but this will cost you a bit, can't remember where I saw it now.

dazzi220 Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 can't be bothered with that crap, hpi said 17/47 keeps the wheelies down, what difference will 18,19 make? only one or two extra teeth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 17/47 will be fine daz, although, no matter how much i gear mine down, she still wheeeeeelies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzi220 Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 (edited) The higher teeth on the spur,the faster acceleration? Edited June 23, 2005 by Mad Hatter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rc007 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 yeah i'd stick with 47/17 mate go up to 18 and 19 tooth and your being well hard on the clutch (and it will get hotter). i've gone down to a 16/47 to try and save my clutch abit and to improve the off the line speed a bit. To stop it wheeling i've used the lcg tvps and set my shocks up to soak up the wheelie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 can u control the wheelies if you accelerate slower (with the trigger) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waz Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Yes. It's called throttle control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc007 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 can u control the wheelies if you accelerate slower (with the trigger) ← Do you mean do a controlled wheelie if you accelerate slower? OR do you mean if you accererate more slowly you can control if you do a wheelie or not? If you mean the latter of cause you can you just don't pull the trigger back as quickly???
