Redline?
I never redline my car(so you don't think I'm an abusive owner), but I was wondering...
Are higher RPMs bad for the car... or is the redline set just below that threshold? |

the powerband of modular motors like yours don't start until about 3k rpms or so and peak power is at the redline. at the track, i shift just above the redline so the next gear will fall into a higher rpm. if you hold your car at redline or above for long periods of time, that is bad for the motor, and revving more than a couple hundred rpms above redline is bad too.

its always good to have a rev limiter also. set it just a couple hundred past redline like b said so if you miss a shift it wont completely fuck up your ride.
