Regarding the track: I used a panoramic setting on my phone so the track, around the lower left corner, got chopped up. It actually hooks around but you cant see it. Its called trains and lanes. There are probably videos of it on youtube.
I agree with the motor pinion. 14t sounds a little small for such a high powered motor. Even with 4s 16t should kick it around nice. With the programming card and a spektrum ds3c.. is it possible to program less throttle or power? I dont have the radio yet. And im clueless still! I did nitro a while back but i didnt have gear as nice as this
