If there is worry about the SXS's getting faster why not go to a bigger motor than the 2.5 when that time comes? Something in the 250-300 hp range? Now is the time to talk about what might be better than the 2.5 eco.
So what do you want to run when the 2.4 is no longer available? If we want to save money in class 10 lets figure out how to make the trans last longer. That's my most expensive prep item
Drive slower or spend more money on the trans up front....
Now I know why the class 10 forum is dead. You can't have a discussion when all you get are stupid comments. I said trans prep- doesn't that imply I'm spending the money before the race? Is there something more expensive than a Fortin that is the magic Trans?
So again, what is the plan when the 2.4 isn't available?
Ya, what he said!! We were talking about engines and you started complaining about transmissions...
Mind if I ask what is wearing in the trans? You mentioned the fortin setup and I thought they were pretty decent until you rip the trailing arm off like schweers last year lol. Even then the case just cracked.
Everything eventually wears out in a transmission. Some gears will last longer than others as they get less mileage per race. Ring and pinions wear, bearings wear, seals leak. Its all getting beat up.
What ring and pinion do you run with the ecotecs? We've had our 091 to a NorthStar for 14 years pounding whoops and running 200-400 mile weekends without issues. We were talking to jon about the fortins and he said he had good luck with them besides the costly refreshes. On the 5's and 10's are the clutches pretty stiff? We were wanting to buy jons old red 5 car and when I hopped in I noticed the clutch pedal itself was pretty soft. Ours in our buggy right now will literally blow your foot off of it when releasing at the last 5-10% of the pedal travel. The fortins also have external coolers correct?
