Thanks ericf

EDIT: Just searched for spurs gonna need to be 81 or 83 cant seem to find an 82. Recommendations on spur brands. I can get serpent ( obvious choice being its going on a s120lt) or associated or xray and kimborough. I read somewhere about having lots of holes for the balls...???
I think i'll lash out and go the sxx, save me having to much around and charge the booster as well.

Apparently the kit comes with 8 balls so the muchmore xray ones are out as they only have 6 holes it seems.
Yeah redbull WAAAAYY down south, I work only an hour from the most southern point in tasmania so the name is fitting
Thanks heaps for the advice, i've learnt more in the past 1hr then i've done the past few weeks, it all makes much more sense, now if I can just work out the rule to get an idea of rollout based on a specific track type. Maybe for every 10 meters/30 feet of straight = 30mm of rollout? or 1ft = 1mm of rollout per straight??
The Xenon gears are the best I've seen to date.

When you figure out the rollout formula for all tracks, please post it here
