Black Widow
Any other owners on the board? I put mine together this week and the only problem I found was the turnbuckles were to short but I emailed Trinity & they are sending me the correct length ones. I like alot of the features the car has like the new Associated front end, IRS Diff, 4 corner rear pod design (Easy motor changes) & the damper tubes went together well and had a tight clearance that should respond well to different wieght lubes. I also noticed it has a longer wheel base. I'm trying it out this week-end & will post up later.

I had a chance to run the car today and it was better than expected. The longer wheelbase made for some very smooth driving, the car is worth the $$ I spent. I also liked 1 feature especially, the rear pod system not only put the motor flush with the main chassis for a lower center of gravity buy the way it's designed allowed me to get the desired ratio which was a 28 pinion with the 100 spur. It would be no problem to gear up to a 30 if needed with the 100 spur something the CRC, IRS & associated rear pod design will not allow due the the motor gets crammed up against the back of the T-Bar at a certain point with the larger spur gears.

What about larger pinions necessary for some of the quad magnet motors, like a Reedy 19t (flame)? You may potentially run a pinion as large as a 38 on that motor (or larger). Are you running flat can motors, too? I have had a problem getting ride height with any motor that uses a round can in my Reflex. I'm wondering if this issue was addressed with the new car or not?
