- I don't like messing with the car at the track - especially on a faster paced weeknight. When everything is running smoothly, I rarely make any adjustments. It makes me less competitive for sure, but I usually (knocking on all wood around me) have a trouble-free night and rarely drop out of a race. If it isn't broke, I don't fix it.
- By the time my last main and marshaling are starting, I'm packed and ready to go. It takes me over an hour to get home (sometimes more than 2 hours), so the last thing I want to do is take more time to pull the motor and pinion out. I marshal and run as quickly as possible.
- $45 for me AND another $45 for Justin.
- I run my touring car at other tracks. I don't want to take it apart for each place when it's running well.

Believe me - I know how great this spec motor thing is for so many reasons. It just doesn't work for me and I'd rather not do all that wrenching at the track. I like doing it at home, but at the track I like to charge, drive, watch races, and BS with everyone. I don't even want to think about a stripped spur because I set the mesh wrong or didn't tighten a motor screw properly. I'm just hoping over the next few weeks that others are in the same situation because I really don't want to do this. I may actually use the old TC3 for spec because at least I can get the motor in and out very quickly on that car - much quicker than I could with the XRay - if I am not able to run traditional 17.5. Will see what happens tonight. I may try it because I hate running only one class, but I'd certainly rather run USGT and anything else that I don't have to switch a motor to run.

See you later!

6.5fdr for each tc, or 73/28 and 65/25 for the tc3/tc4 cars(2.5 internal ratio) in 48p gearing....

#1: 99/38 for 6.51fdr....
#2: 104/40 for exactly 6.5fdr....
Other combos will not fit nicely according to my calculations.....Tc3/tc4 for life..... Good luck....
Also guys, which of the plugs get soldered to the esc wires??? Male or Female ??? I think female but I need to be sure and solder at home as much as possible....
