Only cause you hyped up boosted..AND watched me buy a spur gear for it...then 10 min later said we were going blinky for a week...which became "until further notice".

I think I am running around a 4.17 FDR for blinky. I am not turned up to max motor timing yet, and come off 130 to 140. Not sure what Danny is at, except he is max timing.

Class killing at its finest, or give it 3 months and it will be huge. Either way.

Take it easy Danny. We just need to create an open wheel vta class running 17.5 blinky using 2wd buggy tires and everything will be fine.

Speaking of tires, since it looks like whatever I need will have to be ordered, what's the appropriate set to look for?

Very true very true. I think he really enjoyed driving mine around the track. I also think he hit less stuff than Grant while driving it too.

Sweep "Real Blue" QTS32
Solaris Medium
Jaco Blue

All 3 have decent grip and long life. I've tried the Sweep EXP30's and they have stupid amounts of grip, but made my blinky car too difficult to drive and are only good for about 5 runs until the insert in the LF tire is completely gone.
