Shouldn't you be rebuilding an 8th scale, you did run 5 laps with it this weekend? Time to sell more stuff so you can replace that motor, tires, servo and chassis!

That's what I thought. Just was not sure what direction to turn the endbell. Went counterclockwise to the "high" setting and will work from there.

John..... does Dan have any idea when more 5000's will hit the states?

depending on your track size, between 5.0 and 4.4. I would start with a 4.6-7 and go by motor temp
