Peter and Bowser had power on Alex....even Chad said it.....he just drove so damn good.....Peter started all the way back from 7th.....
Trust me, Peter's motor had power.....he set the 3rd fastest run of the event with his belt going UNDER the steering link on his Losi....imagine the drag.
Your power was good.....Furman's was solid(if memory servers correct, I believe I built his motor for the main.....may of been 19t though, I can't remember)....
Nats in florida sounds fun, as long as you guys take me to a REAL titty bar.....the ones I went to in Orlando were stupid....they had band-aids over their nipples!

And Gary, if you choose not to use Tribo as a comm drop, use it as a bushing lube.....its used on ALL of my production and team motors.....with quite a few impressive finishes under my belt.

I'm a little confused by people mentioning that you can use the one type of comm drops for both the comm AND the bushings.
Seems to me that the bushings need a lubricant and the comm needs a fluid to improve conductivity between comm/brushes.
How can one product achieve both as any oil-based lubricant is not good for electrical conductivity?

If I'm not mistaken Tribo isn't oil based.Lubricants don't have to be oil based.

If it's any kind of endorsement Most of the premiere motor builders recommend Tribo,Big Jim, Eric Anderson just to name a few.Although Eric didn't always agree about it's potential,but has come around.

Here's the results from the 19T motor tests. These show the first run of results that were done on a Fantom dyno. I also did a series of these tests on some stock motors as well.

With these results and the results from the stock motor tests I would stay away from Tribo. They tended to either do nothing for performance or in some tests the results were worse after the Tribo was applied. If you're looking for drops, Hurricane Red or Blue, Finishline, Zubak, or Slick/Zero Drops were consistantly top performers.
