MM note:

One thing that was different this time around with teh MM was that we ran less drag brake than I used to... 10-15% instead of 25-35%. So that may be part of why we didn't see the glitch thing... we have wondered if the brake settings may have some impact on the issue.

LRP:

Last weekend my buggy Mack that ran my T4 also had the new 2007 version LRP Comp with the new LRP 6.5 motor. The motor was very nice... had a little more "snort" esp in the middle of the poweband than the 2 star.

The new speedo has more drag brake built in so that's good if you like drag. But Mack didn't like it cause it still had a little drag even when set to 0... not what he likes.

I like running some drag brake so I thought it was ok. In fact, I the only thing I didn't like when I went to the LRP was the lack of drag brake. I found that the more you gear it down the more drag brake you get. So now it's ok... I was trying to gear it a bit higher at first.

Most of my local buddies, and guys we know at other tracks around, are running LRP Sphere Comps and 2/3 star motors and are loving them. Very smooth and fast. There was one case where the rotor slipped on the shaft and slammed through the endbell and gear cover. :)

So far everyone thinks they are great... some don't even run the heat sink.
