alexis in greece Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yesterday i scrutineered the cars,photo shot them and run a shakedown. There was 1 car with issues,Baldieman's: -Motor is not from the eligible motors list.I checked the rev reading and it is 4750 rpm on the wheels which ,with a 9/27 ratio gives 12825 on the motor,so i judged it is within the spirit of the rules and accepted it -front wheels were 3mm smaller than the rear. I have compiled a tech table,please fill in the voids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenny broke Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hi Alex Nice work on the shakedown and presentation of the entries. Just to update your records for my car: gear ratio 2.4:1 or 10 t pinion and 24 t crown wheel . Chassis Slot it HRS2 chassis. Could you please clarify the what the weightrea and % mean. I assume its the weight bias to the rear in grams and as a percentage of the total weight. Interesting that PK's Ferrari is one of the lighter ones this year, I reckon that's a first!!!
