Thanks, it should be on it's way.

Last night at the track I learned a valuable lesson about rollout.

Now I kinda feel dumb spending $240 bucks......But it is a investment on the future though.

I was running a 29 tooth pinion on my motor, but after a 6 min run, My motor and ESC and battery was cool to the touch. So the guys at Nexus loaned my a 31 tooth pinion, and WOW what a difference.

I had no idea, rear tire size and pinion could make that big of a difference.

Our track only has one strait away, and now i am flying down it, with enough torque to jam through the infield. Actually it's easier to drive in the infield because it's not so on/off (best way to describe it ) with the throttle input.

Shaved some serious time off my laps and became very competitive....
