End Point Adjustment

jmackani, I used all four screws on the fan, tightened gently. After my test run, the fan was running with 2 LEDs lit for internal temp. I listened to it for a bit, as I was double checking the temp, and the fan sounded completely normal (i.e. it didn't sound like the blades were hitting anything). I'll double check tomorrow and maybe space the fan down a bit if there is a clearance issue.

As for the Ofna belted slicks, they're a PITA to mount. I looked on Ofna's site and found some instructions. You have to use foam glue (CA attacks the foam), and glue the narrow piece of foam to the wheel (the instructions say to peel the tape from the foam, and tape the foam in place, but the foam that came with the tires has no adhesive) and glue the ends together. For the main piece of foam, the ends need to be glued together, and it's installed in the tire. Finally, the tire is installed on the wheel. Yeah, easy, right? Since I have to use bands to hold the foam in place while the glue dries, it's going to take a few days to get these tires properly mounted. I'm going to have to go slow and be sure I'm doing it right as 4 of these tires is NOT cheap!!
