No prob darryl. That iron jon carlson recommended is very nice for the money. If I didn't like soldering gun setups, I probably would pickup one.

I agree that you don't run pinions that small just because of a small track, but I think a lot of it depends on how much straight away length you have to actually open up the motor. On the indoor track i ran on here, I was down to I believe an 11T pinion, 62T spur with a tekin SCX 5.5 550 motor. It was the sweet spot on temps and power for the track that was 50 x 50. There wasn't a lot of places to open up the motor.
Is anyone running different compound tires front versus rear?
