xTHUNDERCATx Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) I'm running a wildcard 10 mil on alcohol, 11 paddle 72ish rollout haulers, 2-5 override. I intend to get out to Pismo one of these days. I'm coming from sm nv and I dont know if I should be looking at gearing up because Pismo isn't a real hill, or gearing down because the hill is shorter and I won't have time to wind out the gears. I'll have to double check next time I'm out at the trailer but I think I'm at 15-41 gearing for Nevada.

BANSHEEBEEFM2M Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Do you launch in 1st or 2nd? Not a hill. Its an incline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANSHEEBEEFM2M Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Swingarm length? Pismo likes paddles. My 4 mill would blow my 11 paddles off. My old stock jug motor would blow the tens off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTHUNDERCATx Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 2nd gear launch, 10 over arm. I figured I could use more paddle, those 11 paddles work great back home but getting a new set isnt on the table at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Id think shorter is better for there. its a short run. 15,45 or 46 maybe. or a 14,43 somethin like that. with a 12 or 14 extreme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDP421 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 15-44 seems to work good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTmachining Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Set up fo 300-350ft n ur good. +10 swing arm is to short fo drag racing IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m671054 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Pismo is like racing the flats at smn from years ago when the hill got real rough. Its short, soft and they look to start on the uphill. Big tires and low gears seem to be the norm. Thats why they all run big arms. I think the setups are very different between the 2 locations. if your 15 41 on 11 paddle you could probably pull 14 41 14 paddle at pismo.

xTHUNDERCATx Posted March 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Gotcha, if im stuck in california long enough and find the money maybe I will buy a second set of tires and a longer arm to switch between for hill shooting and racing here. Thanks for the suggestions I'll drop down to either a 14-41 or 14-43 depending on what I have in the trailer and give that a go when I can get out to pismo. John I've never ran a 300 ft so I'm shooting blind but I'll do some searching if I'm able to get a second setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 run higher gear ratio like mentioned and air down. You will do fine. As long as the bike runs at all you will do fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
