Default Speed Passion V3's in DEX 410 - gearing ?

I find the V3's no where near as quick as my old X12's.

What are people gearing them on in the durango ?

I normally run a 5.5 on a 22 or 23 pinion indoors, it's smooth but not quick enough.

Can the timing be altered on the V3's ??

What speedo are you using? I found when using a Speedpassion GTPRO 2.0, that I had to turn it up to near the max to make a V3.0 fast, however using a LRP Sphere, I just plug it in and it's fast.

Normally run between a 19-21t pinion depending on the track. That's outside, have never run it indoors.

I'm using an Lrp SXX TC Spec.

Anything I should change in the settings ? I believe the power profiles are for adjusting the smoothness of the power delivery, nothing to do with top speed ?

Can't help with settings on the speedo, I've never felt the need to change anything on a LRP.

How big is the track your racing on? could it be that on a 22-23t pinion your over geared and not hitting full speed if the track is smallish?

I was wondering if I'm very undergeared if anything !
Running a 22 pinion, decent sized track (Batley outdoors and now indoors)

I know the V3's are not as powerful / fast as say an x12 of the same wind, I know as I have one and in comparison it's ballistic - but can run hot.

Anyhow, I wondered what experiences people had of these motors in the Durango, and where the sweet spot was on gearing them
