the answer is no. Right now it is something we are doing, The only difference between the kyosho UFO and the G4S UfO is the clutch bell itself,the front bearing and bearing holder. We are using a highly modified Kyosho/K Factory UFO clutch bell, and Kyosho/K factory pinions on the G4S car.(this is not a plug and go arrangement at this time, kyosho clutch bell and pinions do not line up, they must be machined so they line up properly.) We only got these together this last weekend. Next week after the Great lakes challenge race I will provide more detail. The off the corner and overall acceleration is nothing less than spectacular on tracks like the USA has with tight stop and go corners. It allowed us to get very,very agressive on the clutch.

With the stock gearing arrangement we find that the car performs best with 59 mm tire diameter on it. Great for qualifying but to small for mains. Now the car really hauls azz with 62 mm tires on it, even faster than 59's with the stock gearing arrangement.

This is using the 2.40 FDR arrangement
