Re: Pete and Ben's Rotary Racer

Well, we survived Anglesey! 600 miles, 2 days of events, 30+ 6,000rpm launches, one spin, one 100mph trip across the grass and two pieces of silverware. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4430/35875724084_cdc56e209c.jpg 2017-08-21_12-09-56 by Ben Edwards , on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4435/3...

Re: Pete and Ben's Rotary Racer

Yeah that's about right really. The torque they have is fairly deceptive - the gears are quite long (and the rev limit so high) you can feel like it takes an age to get going, which can be a little frustrating on the road.

Re: Pete and Ben's Rotary Racer
