Hey Evo 5 Guys;

I finally got the chance to Race My Evo 5 in a Real Race at the Floyd Bennett Track(against good drivers with pro kits)-(Friday Morning July 25th) --All using 19-Turn Motors. The(My) Evo 5 has good Steering, it Runs Straight(with Front and Rear Ball Diffs).....but it needs a SPOOL(It needs one bad.). I`ve never realized it before. It also has some Oversteer on the loose turns.
-----I`ve ran My Pro 4 with the Spool installed (that same day same track) and it out drives My Evo 5.....I was faster with the Pro 4 by 3 seconds.

To think about it:
-My Evo 5 cost me over $1,275(fully Hopped-Up including electronics).
-I don`t want to spend that amount on another kit that doesn`t have the part(s) that keep it from running it`s best.
-If the Evo 5 MS doesn`t have a Spool.....I`m NOT getting it.

Take Care
