I thought you might win it when you were in 2nd for a minute. We changed a couple of things for the main, but the car got a little loose. Can't be sure if it was the tires or the change. Will find out next week.

On 1:1 cars, they're usually referred to as CVJ's. Until MIP brought out their upgrade driveshafts, Universal Joint (UJ) type shafts didn't have a smooth constant velocity output. A UJ only has the same output speed when the shaft is straight. As soon as there is an angle in the joint - whether it be up down left or right, or any combination, the output (axle/hub) velocity doesn't match the input (dogbone) velocity. Due to the design, the output lurches faster and slower - the more of an angle, the more it lurches.
The MIP design offers constant output velocity through a useful useable range of motion. Now their 'style' of model car driveshaft has become the new standard on competition oriented kits as many other manufacturers produce 'CVDs'. Mugen, Kyosho, HPI, Yokomo, Associated, Losi etc all do them.

Our Quantum 2 is fine, no problems yet. It does feel a little warm, but I am running a fan on the motor. I think the fan is drawing a little air accross the top of the Speed Control for some cooling effect. It does feel a little warm after a run. Think I might get the heat sink for it anyway.

Overall, the CGM is a very driveable car, and it is a perfect match with a mazda6 body!
Peace and Hapy Racing!
look at the track

Anyone know where to find the suzuki aluminum front spindles for the ssg? I'm having a hard time finding them and broke another 3 of the plastic ones today.
Thanks,
Chris
