 Topic: D14 vs WD
Posted: 31 Mar 2014 at 7:01pm |
Can the D14 be made to be competitive in the 3500-4500 class vs the WD? 3 mph stock class
I figured the gearing of the 14 would allow for more options
Or are the 26" wheels to much of a disadvantage?

I see a lot of WD's power out rather than spin out.

18.4 is too big for our stock class. 14.9 would be the biggest you could go. We only allow 1 size up from stock. Heck maybe 13's would be too big, didn't a WD come with 11.2 or something close?

Optional tire on a wd 45 was 16.9 so 18.4 is one size up from stock look at parts book

Cool, good info! Thanks. What made you decide on 26" tires vs 28"?

Our tire rules are easy black round and made out of rubber not cut for the 3 mph classes black round and made out of rubber cuts allowed in 6 mph class this elminates the his tires arent stock crying and at 3 mph the driver is a lot more critcal than tire size I beat my self just as much as any body else beats me

WD-45s never had 16.9 as a optional tire, but AC did use the old 15'' tires that are now 18.4s on a rice WD-45s.
