Wes-
I don't do the pm thing, but you can e-mail me at [email protected]. That box gets checked at least three times daily and is the best way to reach me.

Thanks for the memories, Boomer.
Paul- Doesn't look like I will make it up there on the 7th, may be the end of February before I touch a radio again...in Cincinnatti!

Does the 21 tooth fit in the car?
How do you get the 540 moving fast? (aside from the break in)

Those people who run faster because they have done few of the following :
1. Complete motor break in. Completely dipped the motor into water for 20 - 30 minutes. Spray it with motor cleaner and re-oil the bushing. If possible buy few mabuchi motors, and use motor master to find the best motor. For mabuchi motors : the older the faster.
2. Almost zero volt for NiMH or Zero volt for NiCD before charging.
3. Charge battery at higher amperes, eg. 4.5 amp for NiCD, 5.5 amp for NiMH
4. Dedicated matched battery ( racing use only )
5. High voltage battery eg. 1.197+ per cell
6. Perfect racing lines everytime with zero mistake.
7. Perfect car setup.
8. Tamiya Super Slick 60D.
9. Some said Not to grease the gears.... I oppose it. Not too much grease is preferable because your mini's gears must endure 3 heats and 3 finals.
10. Set ESC to stock mode, around 1 KHz - 1.5 KHz
11. Ice cool the motor between heats eg. muchmore thermocooler
