Never run a ball diff with slip in it. It will flat the balls or the rings or both, and then as a diff it is not much better than a solid axle from a handling perspective. If you can't make the car handle unless it has less power (which is all a slipping diff is doing) then sort the car out.

Complete rubbish. See the BRCA 12th Rules for the correct definition of a blinky speedo. This is the definition used by ROAR and is what their lab uses to check a speedo. It is the definition being worked by the BRCA for their use.

It would be good to see what people were using today to see if there was an advantage.

Correct, and for all motors to be run with the sensors at the same angle to the stacks. That's why there is a speedo that people reckon is just a smidge better than the rest...

No you can't... period. Maybe the factory could, but you can't. And the factory never would since if they were caught cheating their reputation would be rubbished and their products banned by all the National Associations. If there is one guy passionate about sticking to the Rules it is Jurgen Lautenbach.

And can you explain why LRP (who happened to have helped create the Blinky spec) are still submitting cheat speedos? And can you explain why the A-final cars at the Cotswold BRCA Clubman's national on a 60m straight were incredibly even on pace, with a variety of ESCs in use?
The problem with Blinky is that everyone is paranoid about getting beaten, And if people get beaten, they suspect foul play. The truth is, some people are better at preparing their powertrain, some people are better drivers, and some people are both.

Now there's a guy who knows the facts, and what he is talking about!

Not worried about being beaten, infact the 4 GT12 meetings I've done I've TQ'ed and won all 4, even beaten your "cheat" speedos  all about corner speed with GT12 
Not sure how they check speedos, but would the way they check them only check timing advance or will it do static timing. As that's what I have heard the hobby wing has over the core one
From MY experience the hobby wing speedos I've ran against have had higher top end than my core with roughly the same rollout/lipo ratings. |
It's just a rumour... they check them electronically and examine their software and then they confirm the blinky mode signal... and you have found the speedo that has a smidge more, but only in one variety...
But let's get back to helping out with the Supastox...
