How to Gear the T1 for Stock Motors?

Our track is a technical one with approx. 100ft of straight. Its asphalt but a bit uneven and also not very grippy. We have racers using ratios as low as 5.1 and we are in the tropics with very high temp. I am using a T1 running a Yokomo RST at 5.98 and it looks slow and the race is 4 days away. HELP!!!!

Is it slow on the straight, in the infield or both?

Tested the car again this afternoon. Quite satisfied

with the speed and the motor feels not too hot. Neither the commutator nor the brushes are discoloured. Grip is acceptable but will continue to test tomorrow when the actual race layout is setup. Ratio was 5.89 - 86x31.

FYI, tonyv, the motor is new, the chassis rolls smoothly without kinks, the suspension arms without shocks attached are moving freely. I think it is gearing. Been trying standard X-ray spurs all along. Used a kyosho 86T spur today. :twisted:

Much better. Will be trying ratio 6.09 - 86x30 tomorrow for better pickup in the infields.

Grip has been improving as I made the shock more tilted inwards. Still wondering if it could be better. Been reading the Hudy setup manual for additional info. Any advice on this ? Thank u all for the advice.
