kingkong Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 well i finally got 2 see the difference between a 4mil and a 10mil. dammm. i have a 4mil cheetah that runs pretty dam good and raced a 10 mil cub sunday... asphault 1/8 mile....who ever said there is little difference between a 10 and a 4 is a lie. this guy spotted my bike at least 15bikes and caught me before the 1/8 mile..long before the 1/8...i dont have the fastest 4mil but it do run alrite..in my opinion a 4mil should never pull up besides a 10mil hahaha...im sure there are some 4mils that can hang but very few.. 1 Quote
2001Stroker Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 You just made me even more anxious to get my 10mil together. Thanks. :biggrin: Quote
00tbanshee Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 you have to take alot of things in consideration on that,builders,alky or gas,setup,etc....i have raced 10mils with my 4mil and also rode the guy who does my motors banshee which has a 10mil and i believe there just isn't much difference Quote

I have run both 4mill cubs and 10mill cubs you can tell the 10mill makes more power but its not that big of a jump Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 the 10mm will make more power. most people wont notice the difference. i run a 10mm so that i can run the tallest gearing possible for hillclimbing. that extra power helps me get off the line better with higher gearing. i switched from a 4mm to a 10mm in the same bike. its a lot easier to tell the difference when the setup is the same.

dajogejr Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 There are WAY too many factors in that statement to pick through. Both motors in the same chassis in a good state of tune, there is not a LOT of difference. The longer the run or the heavier the rider...that's where the 10 mil will really start to shine. Quote
J-Madd Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Shouldn't a 10 mil be good for about a tenth over a 4 mil in 300ft? (same setup, etc.) I don't think my 4 mil stock chassis will every see 3s (with me on it), but I'd like to think with a good 10 mil in the same chassis I could run 3.90s all day long. Quote
kubitza123 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Whats your 4mill run in the 1/8?? And what was his 10mill running in the 1/8? Quote

Im pretty sure you should see close to a tenth 1 Quote
shanYE west Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 well.. we'll see what the difference is this next season.. a 10mil cub is going into my old stock chassis with identical setup that my 4mil ran low 4.1's with. Motor is being built by the same builder also. Should be a interesting season all around for us MI boys! Quote

dajogejr Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 When he actually makes the races...probably. When he's not using excuses like his wife being in labor...stuff like that. However...I will find a smaller jockey... I won't even catch his new build...unless I put a lot of spray to mine and it holds together... Quote

shanYE west Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 When he's not using excuses like his wife being in labor...stuff like that. I tried to get her to hold it in... but she wasn't going for that.. lol Quote
BellicoseBanshee Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 Who is the builder if you dont mind me asking? Look at the banner in his signature... :ninja: Quote
