Are we going to run say a 13.5 motor or is it going to be free choice?

Team external trucks will all be ready to go this weekend, so come on boys hurry up and get sorted.

4.5L

I am not worried about corners, I figure with that motor I should be able to warp space and time and force the track to drive around my truck. Perfect set up Wink

If we have a motor stipulation, I will have to buy another motor!!! I have 3 not in use at the moment. 6.5R, 6.5L and 4.5L Would ideally like to use one of them. Unless someone wants a brand new 6.5L and wants to swap it for a brand new 13.5?

Hi all, i would like to see a 6.5 limit with regard the motors.

But i also have a spare 13.5 if you need to do a swap Mr B..?

Kierans X60 got here today so T.E will have three entrants in this class, just not sure Kieran wants to race or just destroy things with it??

Hope to pop up the track this sunday morning..

I am happy with the motor Limit at 6.5 Limit.

I was joking with the 4.5. That will be going in the S4 when it's finished - like last year. I'll be putting the 6.5 L or Bonded R in the Truck.

Your X60 is going down, W, going down to ..........China Town.........yeah! Laughing

(75 Tooth Spur/30 Tooth pinion) x 2.6 Internal Gear Ratio = 6.5 Final Drive Ratio

13.5T BL (Max revs) 26,640 RPM/6.5 = 4,098 RPM

Wheel = 30cm. 1229.4meters per minute

45.8mph That's bloody quick for a truck.
