Well then its straight up all driver then.

I know joe austin has everything that can possibly be done to his mini to make it STF legal, including a reflash on his ecu, which if i can recall correctly, it was somewhere in the 140-150 hp range when I talked to him, which was back in March.

So for Travis Sackwar to come only .100 from Joe at the June 13th national event is saying something. Joe can drive, he just has a hard time getting clean runs.

Power means almost nothing for most STF cars. Last I spoke with Alvin, he was doing some more suspension tuning on the car and upped the spring rate but I'm not sure how that panned out since I haven't been to an event in a few months.


There is no question Travis is a better driver than Joe, he runs a car on street tires that isn't competitive and he cleans up in DSP.

Here is a vid of Sundays course.

Definitely a great driver, car seems really strong but a little pushy, sounds amazing and great skills down shifting. Is there a way to change the Rev limiter, that would change the car big time.

How can I contact those guys?

Thanks

Andres

Video is from Tyler Colgetts STF Fit.

As far as the rev limiter, your best bet is probably to change the crystals in the ECU otherwise you'll need an aftermarket ECU or something like that.

Couldn't tell you how to get in touch with them, I only talk to them at events.

Found one of Alvins Videos from Crows Landing

Finally had the chance to meet Travis and his co-driver at Nationals last week; nice guys, great drivers. Just need to prep the car a little bit more to win for sure.
