Yes, steve will be carrying them. once i give my report to steve, im sure he'll order a whole bunch.

Chris glad you liked the spool. Give Steve any constructive feedback, you can think of. So We can make it the best we can.
Tell me how did you get to be one of the prototype testers???
You think Ian will be able to get one?? ;-)
As for the top shaft. I noticed on Dan's that the pully farthest from the spur slipped inside the bulkhead a little, and left a witness mark from rubbing.I was thinking I would make a spacer to fit between the pulley / spur gear mount, and the bearings
mr troy.. my only suggestion is to anodize it blue!

like i said before, the spool worked great. i checked my car last night, no wear anywhere, even after hitting the boards at socal.
i was lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time, and steve asked me to prototype. ill run this coming sunday at a parking lot race and let you know. my set up (like rod's) pushed a bit at socal, but it was like a bat out of hell coming out. car felt good overall. ill yank it after next sun and hand it over to ian to prototype, steve didnt have enough to give to me and ian. so we have to share
btw mine(center pulley) is tucked inside (bulkhead) also. i have pictures. will post soon.

Chris, I had that problem too when I first built the car and I had to rebuild the center. You have to play with the placements of the pully and the spur gear holder a little so the spur gear holder won't touch the bulkhead.
jeff, too late

the bulkhead has already lost its blue anodization. oh well. i had to sand it down anyways to make room for the two center pulleys.
overall, the car's drivetrain is set up great right now. its reedy race ready!
