LIFE MEMBER ONLY ONCE!!!
8BU-10 setup ..round 1 and round 2
well took the SRX out today for a good 27 miles on the River.There are a couple good spots to open it up but with about 2 to 3 inches of snow on top,not really packed down good yet.
Temps are cool like around -14 C here and sunny with 73% humidity today.This is my real first attempt with the 8bu's.I have the weights at 2.4 inner and 3.6 outer using a w-w-w primary spring with no engagement springs.Engages around 4000 rpm's.In the 2ndary I have the 50/40 helix with red spring set at 80.Seems to pull nicely,spinning a lot at take off because of loose snow yet.When I pin it..goes to about 8400-8500 and was hitting 105 on speedo the rpm's dropped to about 81-8150ish and no more.This was on the River with the snow.Tried another spot along the floodway that was groomed,loose snow and with only limited length because of corner coming up ,was hitting 95 and rpm's were about 8400.The snow is the factor here..but I think I need to try the green spring at 80 next to see what happens.On ice would of been a differnt story with less drag.
