Hi all,Looking at a new car,is there any word on a new car to replace the current D413?
Just didn't want to buy now and a new car comes out in a couple of months

If you get on Fantoms site and option out a 6.5 like that, then yes it totals out to $170. All of those options are completely useless on a mod motor. If a 6.5 isn't enough put a 5.5 in your car. Sorry to say, but a $30 Trackstar 5.5 will have more power than that $170 Fantom 6.5

Exactly, and to me the price tag isn't what is so exciting but rather the quality of the motor and the rarity (obviously comes with price tag but you know what I mean)

It's very nice of your girl to buy you a nice gift, but for what she spent you could have got a Fantom 5.5 (what would be an equally high quality motor, and still faster than a $170 6.5), a full set of tires for your D413, and an extra battery.
Ultimately, if you're happy and she's happy, that's all that matters. For my b-day last week, my girl picked up the tab on my weekly amain order. A big box of goodies will be here today.

How does the validity of the point have anything to do with the fact that I'm the one that posted it?

Will do, Fantom actually recommended a few changes to the motor. Went with a 5.5 (my call there) but they said the 13mm rotor is going to have a lot of torque and if anything go with the 12mm comes stock with a 12.5mm so I'm going to run stock for now and maybe pick up the 12 and 13 down the road. They actually recommended stock bearings for off road, they said the ABEC 7 bearings are better suited to on road cars so I deleted those.
I kept the Teflon shims and aluminum timing ring, will mess with rotors later.
