Hotel is once again the Gurnee Grand, make sure you mention Harbor Hobbies for the $55 room rate.

Original standard gear was a 72 spur (48 pitch) which I guess would mean a 42/43 pinion. Are these available or just will not fit? (again AE recommended a 19-28 pinion range)

Do the brushless motors just have tons more torque to spin the gearing?
pm Indy and he will hook you up...

another question......for Indy in Feb and the Scale Nats in April....will tire tread be teched?...or does it matter?.....or and that one-way thing?...legal or foul?
