First the bad news: I broke down during a first-place run in the A-Main last night when my motor backed off after I knicked a pipe. No idea how it did that, as I'm always OCD about my screws, but it did. It then shaved the tips of the spur gear, leaving behind some plastic dust. Doh. Would have been my first ever win.
The good news: I'm in the process of installing all the carbon-reinforced, carbon fiber and aluminum goodies I ordered. I just finished converting the front end to the 185mm setup, and I'm going to tackle the rear end next. I have to say, these are very nice!!! The pillow ball retainers went in butter smooth and as they should, while the metal lower pivot balls are a big improvement as well. Thanks SP!
