Randy – The final decision on the track power has not been made but it’s safe to say that I want to have as many people compete as possible. This in and of itself means the power setting has to work for everyone.
Any of the newer Slot.it cars are not any better than the cars we have been running. The only thing you might find different is a lighter interior or one that has less interference with the chassis. Other than that, the cars currently available are no quicker than what we have been running.
I would love to help you get your car and controller set up for the increased voltage. I would suggest changes to the crown gear before you mess with the pinion. A one tooth change to a crown gear has a significantly smaller impact to the gear ratio than a one tooth change to a pinion.
It should not be that much harder to run than it is currently.
