Is this Felix? The PRO4 is awesome. I believe of the 4 people you roomed with lastyear 3 of us have a PRO4. But Ray just sold his. Looking forward to seeing you at the birds again in '05.

As Ray Stated don't let H.G. push you around.

From what I hear Felix-the set-ups in the back of the book are DIALED on asphalt!!! So no worries. Also-when you hit HK-you will be dialed!! I might be going to CHina next summer and I am sure we will stop in HK for a day. Well talk more in 2005 and maybe you can show me the tracks you race at in HK!!!

hey man when someone is wrong they have to be mature enough to know they were wrong! I know if I didnt say anything know one would know But the situation with my girl which you should remember doesnt make it right!
hopefully next year we hang out again I wll bring him up! he's been hanging out with me at the state races we have him running in the top three in the A mains but young grass hopper still learing to be patient sooner or later he will learn that waiting a corner or two will keep him from breaking something!

he kicked everyones ass yeaterday with a motor I gave him he started 10th on the grid and cought the front runners and pulled 6 seconds on them he is comming along!

looking forwared to next year ! i aint going to fall aslpeep!

to me not a whole lot...but the angle of the set-screw on the ball will effect the handling slightly...make sure they are all in the same position.

I would come off the track with a pile of white dust just below the pinion from all the material that was taken off!

Like I said, the mesh is right, the motor is tighted down, so what gives?

Should I just go to 48 pitch gears instead???
Square make a nice little item that gets rid of some of the play thats in the spur gear mount plate... It's basically a one piece shaft and spur plate thats made out of Alloy and gets rid of the slop thats in the original design with the pins..
