Mabuchi540

I think I paid NZ$800 plus (there were other things included in the cheque and the exchange rate has improved since then). Available from Kelvin of KW Racing. Seemed like a lot at the time, but the other top chassis are catching up. Took me a long time to get my driving / set up aligned, but it is going really well now. I found from the start straight line speed was good as good as anything around.

I only put the 540 motor in the Assassin as a test of speed as my old car was too slow against the X-Ray - I'm now wondering if it was partly a dying motor, I'll test again this week end weather permitting. I usually run it in pro-stock- (27t stock to the rest of the world).

Cheers Peter

ps When you visit I'm in the green van with a selection of cars, I look forward to meeting you.
