Moton canister pressures

[CCBrian]

Could anyone give me the canister pressures they run on the Motons (mine are 3 way)as a starting point? I was told 190 psi by someone but everyone seems to hold this as some dark secret that if let out will allow my car to plummet them on the track...as if I could actually drive that well. LOL. And while we are at it, looking at advice on ride height...I am guessing between 2.5 and 3.0 inches but could once again use someones advice here. I run primarily Infineon and Thunderhill here in CA...with some Willow Springs thrown in for fun.Thanks! Brian

I think the only others that read this forum are Comp Coupe model builders that try to sell their models.

I also read it, but I can't say much (you guys didn't want to hear things about scale models)

In testing we have run canisters at various pressures, as low as 90 and as high as 275. The car's suspension seems to react best to the higher numbers. We made this change (increasing canister pressure) based on data acquisition results, after upgrading to the Advanced Pro Motec Software.

We also vary the ride height dependent upon which track we are running. Using the hi-tech "twist tie on the shock" technique - we setup as low as possible without bottoming out.

(and yes, others read this forum - just our racing season ends early up here in Canada)
