If you go with a slightly larger track, a 6.8 1st gear ratio would make use of the engine power better giving you acceleration from the engine powerband more than just a few a few measely feet.
Ah, well put D. I forgot that these days I do club races on two small tracks!

Next year it gets a little serious with the Nationals and the WinterNats.

What's up with the kits being sold there these days? Someone was saying that its 710 version 2.1 ... is this true?

If it is, what are the mods/changes?
