When I put the 9gram/ 10.5 gram rollers it would spin the tires and take off hard but top speed was 33mph. With the 10.5g/12.5g combo it was lazy and wouldn't get above 7400rpms and top speed was 36mph. With the 9g / 12.5g rollers it was much better but I forgot to gps the speed. Top speed on both our buggies is close to the same but my wife's 183cc buggy with my wife and son would win every time in a 50 yard drag race. About 150lbs lighter with just me in the red buggy.
Are you using the DR2 ? Or are you just mixing in a regular variator?
