whomever runs on large tracks,
I am running a standard 64P 53T PN Diff with 70 turn motor with Peak900mah batteries, for this race on a track this size what pinion would you suggest for 2wd stock?

ARN,
I found that with a 70t, you'll want to be in the ball park of 13/52.

Thanks Dan, I'm glad I asked.... I was thinking a 11/53 would be about max for a 70t.
Let me ask another question about that ratio with a 13; If I only have an RCP wide-L to practice on, should I expect the motor to overheat quickly? or will these motors handle a full ten minutes on a small track without damage to the motor or fets from over heating?

If you have a smaller track like a Wide-L, I'd say start at 9/53 and gear up if you feel it's necessary. My philosophy is that it is better to undergear than overgear. For your Wide-L, you will want to run a smaller pinion gear.
For a bigger track, I'd recommend 13/52. At Inside Line's regular track setup I would run a 12/53 or a 13/53 for 70t stock. The Worlds is going to be in the mall theatre atrium, which will allow for a bigger track.

i just want to use the same pinion as what i would use at this race. i've been using a 9 pinion, but i have not tried any thing else yet and just don't want to burn up a motor practicing, Thanks

Might even go 14/53 for the Worlds' track, given a larger layout than normal Binh's tracks. I've yet to figure out if I'm racing Stock or Mod but if it's Stock that's what I'd be expecting ratio-wise.

Racers, where are all the Formula 1 and Le Mans entries at? Those are the two classes I've signed up for & been prepping so really hoping to see those two class entries hitting 16 soon but a little scared now

F1 is my favorite class. I dont understand why so few entries....
If F1 gets cancelled then there is no reason for me to sign up and attend...
(I am still on the fence about attending, but would not be near as exicted without F1)...

Lack of F1 entries is particularly a head scratcher...just a few short months ago at RCX 2012 when all NorCal racers came down we had a full heat of F1 cars and I don't think anyone could argue that class is anything but fun Even then we did not have 16 entries though but around 10-ish I wanna say?...I think having set a minimum of 16 entries for F1 and LM is just not realistic...probably something like 8 entries should be the required minimum for US held races so that it has a chance to happen first and expand the following time(s). even in 1/10 scale 2012 iic in Vegas (largest carpet race in the world) there were only 14 F1 entries and there is a huge F1 scene (60 total UF1 racers) in close by SoCal alone...just can't expect this many entries for mini-z.
BTW there's a new Mazda 02LM listed on e**y by a US seller.

There aren't enough pan car drivers and 3 classes might get cancelled if there aren't 16 signups per class. I know there are 12 days left but basically everyone I know has already signed up.
I am most likely going to run pan car and gt mod on the same car.
There are currently 7/16 required drivers for pan mod. If you would be willing to sign up for pan mod, put your name here to see if there will be enough drivers.

Does the Pan car shell give any lap time difference compared to your GT shell? Seems to me that these two classes could be combined if there is not a difference. (I wreak havoc into the walls too much to notice in either class, that's why I ask...)
also, Mugler, do you see lap time differences between F1 & LaMans? maybe they can be combined if that is an option. (not something I would like to see, but just an idea.) also, thanks for the link tip, how strong are those rear spoiler wings? is there much breaking issues in LaMans?

If it helps the class stay on the schedule, I will run Pan Mod.
Mugler, It doesn't really surprise me. Only a handful of us in Norcal own an F1 and ILR doesn't race them due to lack of interest. It's a shame because the F1 is a lot of fun to race. The last chance I had to race mine, we were going wheel to wheel and laughing the whole time.

A pan body on top of any chassis will make it more stable and give it more grip, essentially making any car faster. The PN lexan pan body would be most comparable to the mosler body.
If we both sign up for pan, that means 7 more drivers will need to sign up. I am planning on buying a pan body and the posts if 7 more people to sign up.
