Next people be complaing the people with the spectrum have more advantage b/c they can go farther without glitching... Just my opinion. Haha! Get a gasser, that's what I say!!
**edit** and anytime I've been beat, (often) I know it was my driving or lack of as the reason. Have fun fellas!!

I Think you are allowed to polish the Bushings. Maybe, someone with more Knowledge of the Rules could Help us on that.
It's Looks like they are using A pretty Gnarly Compound!! Looks like the Bushings Are about .128 halfway Across!!!!

reaming out the bushing is a waste. After a weekend you'd have to buy new ones. The bushings are broken in after a few runs anyway

On the Putnam Motors I noticed About Half the Bushing is reamed out to about .128 or so Making only 1/2 the Surface area ride on the Shaft. Good Job last Night John, I knew after a Couple of weeks of 1/12th Scale You would Be great at It. Where are you guys Racing this weekend?

Thanks. I'm hoping I'm allowed the venture to Toledo. Was that a new Putnam you purchased? I've never had one like that, that I've noticed. Right now I'm running a Fantom version Monster and it was a bit tighter than the Putnams new out of the package. I currently don't have a motor sponsor because I haven't found anything out there that I couldn't do better with on my own. I'm not a motor genius by any means!
