Although I swapped to a Tamiya 416 for the STCC round at Brooklands last weekend, I'm still running the E4RS at most tracks.
I've not run at Yeovil before and looking at the club pictures, looks like a small and tight track. Stock brushed motors I run between 7.0 and 5.4. I would never go below 5.4.
At tracks like Eastbourne and Bashley, I've run anything as high as 7.0 before, as they are very tight tracks. More open and slowing tracks like West London or even the great Barham track was in the lower 5's.

Rule is to start at a safe ratio and work your way down. Obviously each driver is different and they work there motors in different ways. I rather let mine rev giving good corner speed rather than a low ratio and cooking the motors after 3 mins.

If you want any help setting up the E4, I can either post a couple of setups on the forum or I'll see you at Yeovil.
Never been to Yeovil before, so could be asking for your help !! :smt002

small and tight thats the one just redone the track to a permant layout but does give fair grip dont think i could help though as till now just been working on driving angd getting round still everyone has to start somewhere if you have any setups for a track like this they would be gratefully recieved a mo just standard e4 straight from box front end seems soft is this best if you think differt springs etc would be an idea let me know and off to internet we go also where to buy as only place i know is demon [first class service ]just so you know running team scream 27t 4200 cells and vega factory speedo
cheersps cant wait to see how a e4 should run as im the only person i know with one hard to judge if im getting the best from it
