I get about a half hour of mixed speed bashing in my backyard. It easily does standing backflips and will do doubles off a 3ft kicker ramp. At blinding, nearly uncontrollable speed on flat pavement, if you squeeze the trigger the rest of the way too suddenly it will instantly wheelie right over backwards.
It's a monster and I love it.
I ran a 19T pinion for an afternoon and it was just stupid. Way too much for the size of my yard.
Thanks for the info on the pinions. I am starting with a 16 tooth but may work my way up. Any heat issues with your setup? Glad to hear it is a handful, that is what I am hoping for!
