Well written explanation on the tuning of short versus long needle. You really make the long needle sound nice. I don't think I'll mind which I get after that. You should copy/paste that on the stickied tuning bible just as a reference for people.
Grizz I found that link you posted very informative thanks for directing me.
I would have considered the MG66 you suggested (Flanno) but I'm a family man and I really can't afford any luxury's. Just gotta get the most bang for my buck with some durability as well!
Thanks Flanno for taking the time to chime in on my questions. Everyone else was doing a good job in your absence!

Your King Headz shoes will be fine. Alloy shoes with 3 x 1.1 springs is nice on the 5R in a truggy. This will give you plenty of launch. If it's too much for the track surface just drop to 3 x 1.0 springs.
I cut and pasted that tuning guide onto the last page of the "tuning bible section" for future reference.
