How is everybody achieving the FDR for running 17.5 brushless? So far the lowest spur i can find for my JRXS is a 118 so in order to achieve a 3.6 FDR i would need a 59 tooth pinion which i dont think anybody makes or i cant find one. And if i decided i wanted to run my pro4 the lowest spur i can find is a 88tooth and once again i would need a 59tooth pinion. Is it really possible to run that low of an FDR?

Yes, very possible.
For the Losi, get a hold of the PRS spur gear adapter that will allow you to run standard spur gears. That will make your life easier. It will keep you from having to run 60t pinions—which PRS also sells.
Shaft drive cars are a little more difficult to do, because of the taller internal gear ratio, but it can be done. We ran 86t spurs on a TC3 with big pinions to get to the proper ratios.

Now THAT is factory support! Very cool, Andy. I'm thrilled that HPI is behind this as strong as you guys are.
Now, about that AMX Javelin...

About the Javelin. I know someone that will be thrilled to know that the founder of the Vintage TA Class is interested in a Javelin shell. He keeps asking everyone to keep an eye out for them.
We should compile a list of all of the cars that were ever in the real TA races and then poll the racers to find out which ones we would like to suggest to the Manufaturers.
