Took the rotorbug down the strip this weekend

[dubber91]

did  14.3.....ok ok its not super quick but thats on standrd tune (i.e.not tuned properly!!!) and with a full weight bug on 165 tyres...

Next up carb and some bigger tyres methinks!

Mate thats a decent time from the bug!  Is the gearbox stock? hat rpm were you taking off from that line at? oh yeah, and what mile per hour?
 top result. Hope you will bring it to rotorstock.
 cheers, michael.

thats a superb time for a bug,   stock fds get that sort of time.

what engine set are you running?

[dubber91]

stock as a rock! wheelspan through 1st 2nd and into 3rd! best top speed was 93mph. I feel with a few more revs (i.e. fiting the carb and a nice exhaust) i\'ll be able to get better top speed as i change into fourth just before the line.... weird thing was, first run (15 secs) i got the same top speed as my best run (14.3)


I hope i can make it to rotorstock! Gotta get her running spot on for that! then you in the moggy and me in the bug yeah?

Then i can get era to put together a bridgeport motor for me........ unless your up for it!

:god  Thats great news that you have it running!  Which one is yours in the pic?

[dubber91]

engines a stock 13b motor......gotta a filter and short exhaust but thats it!

[dubber91]

the green/white one....although i wish it was the other.....that ones called the preacher....owned by one of my best mates. Looks sooooo intimidating!

[dubber91]

on launch.....i reckon with some weight saving around the front and some traction she\'ll wheelie!

and proof as she crossed the line.....beating the preacher!

[MikeLMR]

excellent time ... I\'m looking forward to what the 323\'s going to be like once its on the road .... get that Dellorto fitted and you\'ll be laughing

[dubber91]

caused quite a stir i think! heres another!

[oldone]

[dubber91]

 cheers, michael.

Interesting comparison...I would say the time is similar to a stock FD but would expect the FD to be around 100mph going across the line..So seems like the Bug gets going quicker but the FD comes good a bit further up the strip...What does the bug weigh and what gearing are you running? Suppose aerodynamics must play a part too......
