I used an 100 theeth 64dp Xray spur with the deep side towards the belts. It fits perfect! Not rubbing the belts and perfect in the middle above the cut out. Of course it is too small and is quite high above the chassis plate, but if you need modified gearing, than the Xray spurs are perfect.

I am afraid to post the full photostory of my build (not yet finished) here. It has already 95 pictures. It showes step by step how it becomes a full racing chassis.

One beautiful chassis for sure. That battery hold down is really something.

I had the maiden voyage last night. I put on a setup similar to my TC7.1. I run 2.5-2.8 front SMJ springs and Blue Associated rear springs. I immediately found the car was extremely loose on power out of tight corners. Luckily we have a team driver that was running last night, he has always been extremely helpful. He told me to add the screws to the back of the motor mount. I was running the 4 screws in the front and nothing on the back. I took two out of the front (every other one) and put them in the back and I was very surprised to see the loose condition almost completely disappear. It's going to take a while, but the motor mount screws are a very strong tuning device. The good news is I set a personal best on this track configuration. Two tenths faster on my best lap and 6 seconds faster for a 5 minute race. And there is more left in the car to get it to drive the way I like. I am an old man and I like the rear end pinned, so I may swap out the blue springs in the rear for gray springs. I may also go 3 dots out in the rear. Last thing, I used the kit supplied 5K diff fluid and I normally run 3K for 17.5, so I will also change that to 3K. It will be fun, but guaranteed, the 7.2 is faster than the 7.1.

My maiden voyage was yesterday afternoon on black carpet. Ran the car pretty wide with blue springs in the front and white in the back and the AE aluminum chassis. USGT tires and the PF Cadillac completed my ride. Used a 106 64 pitch spur and a 43 pinion. I think I can still get a 44 in there, but it is close. Car ran solid, but still need to work on motor and gearing. The layout was small (60x40) with some 180 corners and a chicane. Car was very good in the chicane, but not so much on the 180's. But the driveline was smooth and with less drag than the TC7.1. Potential is very high.
