Yes the motor giving torque feels much better to me at least on the track! Just have to try things out for yourself to see what you like!

-Stacked hobby shops

-Excellent people, particularly industry reps and factory drivers on any given race night.
-taco trucks!

You really just have to go to one of these places to truly appreciate it.

you should have a little more torque at that gearing anyway without turning the timing down as your FDR is different. Depending on where your motor timing is now you might loose a bit of power across the board,

I did. I guess the real pull back to these facilities would be the competition.

This has been the question of the last few months. We have been told in a few weeks well over a few weeks ago. Associated did release a picture saying they will be here soon but how soon. My guess no more then two weeks but who knows.

I couldn't agree more. I moved from Southern California to Las Vegas, Nevada and the tracks are really day and night. WCRC is double, maybe triple the size of the track I currently race at and also has significantly more traction.

So I am trying that anodizing thing and it's not working. I got one to work but now they are just going in the same color they came out (dark gray) any idea what I am doing wrong?

I have the negative wire on the turnbuckle positive in the simple green (no dolited). I have it for I have 81Volts to get the shiny gold. I even checked it with the volt meter to make sure its 81 volts and it is. I wrap it on the tip of the turnbuckle put it in right before the wire touches leave until bubbles stop or 35 seconds. And then pull out, but nothing happens?

What am I doing wrong?

ok, for those switching to hex up front, I found some low profile 8/32 lock nuts at ace for 20 cents each. Here is a pic. the one on the right was from ace.
