How Much Revs?

January 26, 2004

Anyone know the ideal amount of revs to have on for a quick smooth start? :help:

Mine just seems to want to spin in 1st & 2nd. (YTS) <_<

Cant grumble with the amount of torque on these little things tho.........! :thumbsup:

I'd go with 3000-4000 as well (in the dry), although I find I need to be careful with the clutch to avoid spinning the wheels. My OE wheels and tyres won't grip as well as jaxx's nice ones would :crybaby:

If its wet, then I find I've gotta be somewhat more gentle, otherwise all the power will be lost in wheelspin!

One of the downsides of a lightcar...there's not much weight over the front wheels, so it is tricky to get the power down without wheel spin, but you get a feel for it over time.
