CoastalTony: Let me know which car you like the best!!! Alot of people race Nitro Touring car (Sedans) up in Dallas, I am looking at getting one in a few months, currently trying to figure out which is the best one as far as handling & ease of finding parts!!!!!
LouisB: I know the O.S. engines have alot of compression, I have aproximately 2 1/2 to 3 gallons through my O.S. 12 CV-R & it still screams like frightened girl!!!! It has plenty of TQ & plenty of low/top end!!!! I do believe that now is time for a rebuild or a new one though!!!!! I never did answer your question about the XXX-NT diff, I usually just check it after every 3 races if it's still good I'll go with it, if not that's when it gets rebuilt, many people have it too loose & that's how they get ate up, it is a tough adjustment, but if you go by the book you should have no problems!!
