Just put a Reedy Ti 8T double in the car that I have had for a while, geared at around a 9.0 MAN O MAN scary fast 
, may have to go 10.0 or better but I haven't seen the new layout at this track yet. First time in Mod in awhile.

yeah, but you gotta watch out for the belt construction. the standard gates stuff has an .045 backing, or so, which makes the belt very stiff. the industrial stuff is not designed for efficiency, so much as torque transmission. i assume the cen job would be in the ballpark.
to each his own. personally, i have a top secret belt in the front. 
and it is 4 tenths faster per lap.

Mi2EC USA Foam Spec Announced!!!
To better suit the needs of US carpet racers Schumacher will be releasing the World's First production sedan optimized for racing on carpet with foam tires!

The Mi2EC USA Foam Spec will be the ultimate sedan for carpet racing!
-New 2.5mm Carbon lower chassis with revised hinge pin locations and battery location.
-New 2.5mm Carbon super stiff top deck
-New Carbon front and rear shock towers with revised shock and camber link locations
-New Low center of gravity Mi2EC drive train (everything is 2mm lower than on the standard Mi2EC)

The front diff and thicker carbon account for the increase in price. The Foam Spec car will have the same spec at the Mi2EC is it will include
Ti Turnbuckles
Ti Hinge Pins
Purple Alloy suspension mounts
Black Oxide Steel Hex screws throughout
Machined diff and lay shaft pulleys
New shocks
Pretty much everything from the EC with the changes listed below.

This is pretty amazing stuff. A European company developing a ground up foam tire car. If it goes as well as Seaballs Mi2-youve got a winner on your hands. I am glad to see your addressing the shocks and diffs on the Schuie across the board too.
