Ok, seems a few may well have been offended but my comments. Well I guess at the end of the day i was only adding my 2 cents worth. But picture this, 12 out of 23 posts shouldn't even be there. But then again neither should my 2 posts if you wanna get tecchnical. But anyways guys, carry on don't let a so called "sponsored" 
person dull your day. While your all at it, you might as well go start a debate n chat in the for sale and wanted threads. Oops my bad you've already done that many times over.

Comm Drops on 540
I ran 540 at the last Club Challenge meet with a brand new 540. I was worried that I might be too slow because it wasn't broken in. I ran it for about 1/2 hour @ 5 volts to try to get the brushes started seating.
At the meet I was pretty surprised at the amount of torque from the motor. I kept gearing up starting at about a 39 roll-out. Then in the 2nd qualifier I thought - HEY why not drip some comm drops in there. I did and I think it made a hell of a differience! I ended up on a 42.75 roll-out and think I could have kept going, but I ran out of pinions/spurs and motor angle!
Give it a try, it worked for me. I wish my driving were better I would have placed better - but 1st in B's in the 540 field isn't too bad.
BTW - nobody in the B final could touch me, led the whole heat!
