On why he did not use 40% for the final, that's beyond me. But I heard that with the No Fuel Bottle in the Pits rule, it was very difficult to tune the engine without getting the engine flame out the car and get hit by 1/8th scale cars practising at the same time.
I guess I kind of agree with you on what you're trying to say inexplicitly that it was a poor excuse of loosing. But I do agree that at the end of the day, the better drive won not because of the motor but because of skill as well.

The pre-worlds was run to IFMAR rules, 16% nitro. This will even up the playing field when it comes to "funny fuel".

Correct. Hence the motor theory speculation was correct to say that power wise, they were even as mentioned by Rene in his Pre-World report in Brazil. The fuel was the "determining factor".

I know that the aluminum pulleys that come with the Trinity Reflex Team Only kit comes with aluminum pulleys that do not sharpen over time. Those are good stuff.

I used the plastic one myself becuase I could not found Alums one and I usually sold my car cheap after 2 major races without even maintainning (lubing) the bearing. This is the longest record actually since most of the time I sold other brand of my car right after 1 major race. This new generation of Serpent does do magic on maintanance. All bearings still remain as smooth as new after 1 race (approx 2 hours of running time) without even lubing them.
